Books
Okay, so last weekend, I was in a Sam's Club and looking at their book selection and came across the book The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. My friend Alexie told me about it so I decided to purchase it. My decision was partly swayed by the fact that it was a signed copy. So I got the book and started reading it on the way home. And even though I had a supper with my family and a birthday party to attend the next day, I ended up reading the book in less than a day, hours wise. The Fault In Our Stars was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, there are 313 pages in this book and from page 220 to the end there were tears leaking from my eyes. But I could not put it down. I loved it so much. And now that I have finished it, I tell everyone I know about it and that they should read it because it is just that amazing.
So I told my friend Alexie that I loved the book and that she should read it and then she told me that she loved the author. I had previously read his novel Looking For Alaska and thought it was good but not as good as I was hoping. I decided, like I decide about any author, was to youtube him. I found that he and his brother Hank have this youtube show where they vlog (video blog) back and forth with each other. At first I thought this guy was kind of interesting, but the more I watched the more I knew that this guy and his brother are awesome. And their like slogan or mantra or whatever you want to call it is "Keep calm and DFTBA" with means Don't Forget To Be Awesome. And they that this project to "end world suck" and they do all these amazing things. Anyway, enough with my rant, but seriously John Green can really write a novel and do really good things, everyone should check him out.
Books 2
So recently, in the mail, I got the books The Savage Grace by Bree Despain and Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. I am currently reading The Savage Grace which is the final book in the Dark Divine series. It is pretty awesome too. Pandemonium is a sequel to Delirium by Lauren Oliver. Delirium was amazing so I cannot wait to read Pandemonium.
Questions
Today I watched an interview of these different authors and the interviewers asked all kinds of different questions and one that stuck out to me, probably because I haven't heard it asked before was "What three fictional characters would you chose to live with?" I loved this question. I immediately thought of two of them, both being YA male characters. How would any of you answer this question? Or are their any other questions you would ask authors or would like authors to be asked?
Anything Else
Well, I seem to have run out of things to say, or perhaps I forgot what my anything else was but this post is long enough, so I am going to say fair-the-well.
