Well, OF COURSE I'm eagerly anticipating the new John Green novel! He's an amazing writer and an important voice in YA literature. I'm really into contemporary YA fiction right now- a little burned out on paranormal, I have to admit- so I'm compelled by this story of a girl who may be near the end of a long battle with terminal cancer.
I usually steer clear of "dying person" books because they can get maudlin and emotionally manipulative, but I know I can rely on John Green to stay out of Lurlene McDaniel territory. From The Fault in our Stars, I expect great dialogue, memorable characters, and a story that will make me laugh and cry.
This book is such a big deal, there are NO ARCs. But my friend Beth over at A Foodie Bibliophile in Wanderlust is giving away a SIGNED chapter sampler. How awesome is that?!
I'm really looking forward to this book, both for myself and my library teens. I think we're all going to find it a really powerful read.
OMG, no ARCs! How cruel is that! Hopefully it's worth the wait. Thanks for sharing! :)

I've heard great things about John Green. It's about time I read one of his books and this sounds like a good one to start with.

I loved the other John Green book that I picked up! I've heard that he's signing the whole first printing of this one? (Or all the pre-orders?) Very cool either way.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!

This sounds like a book I'll need to read. Maybe I should get my butt in gear and read Looking for Alaska and AN Abundance of Katherines!
ReplyDeleteI've heard really good things about John Green, but I haven't read anything by him.

Can't wait for this book. My father has pre-ordered for me the audiobook set narrated by John Green for Christmas. I'll still buy a physical copy, as I don't think I'll be able to wait until it arrives. Great pick! It was mine too =)
