Quote of the Day #1

' Here's what's not beautiful about it: from here, you can't see the rust or the cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is.You can see how fake it all is. It's not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It's a paper town. I mean look at it, Q: look at all those cul-de-sacs, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm.All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people too.'

- Paper Towns, John Green.

May the odds be EVER in your favour!

So if you are unfamiliar to that quote up there ^^ -

then get off my blog. Before I punch you in the face (but not really).

Primrose Everdeen, at her first ever Games, is selected to compete in the 74th Hunger Games. At just 12 years of age, she was going to have to fight literally for her life whilst killing off fellow tributes aged between 12 and 18.

Until Katniss Everdeen, 16, volunteered to take her sister's place.
The same Katniss Everdeen who was to draw the poisonous berries in the finale, and start an uprising.

Accidentally, of course.

This is such a well written book, it has lots of cliff hangers to keep you turning pages and the characters are unbelievably detailed.

Suzanne Collins has written the whole trilogy in such a way that intrigues the reader, and sparks that interest. You are not reading a book. You are reading a whole world.

Genuinely a great read, though don't compare it to the film! They're both amazing for a number of completely different reasons!

 

Nerdfighters UNITE!

Now, for the moment all you YouTube nerds have been waiting for.
John Green time, guys!

For those of you unfamiliar to the name, Green is an incredibly successful writer by day, and the co-founder of one of the internet's most awesome YouTube channels: Vlogbrothers.

Living proof that superheroes have a chance of existing.

John Green is a New York Times bestseller, and his best book by far is his most recent novel.

The Fault in Our Stars is centered around a teenage girl named Hazel who has lung cancer. She has been told countless times that her cancer is (and will always be) terminal, but when an unexpected person sharing the same thoughts and feelings as her turns up to her support group, Hazel decides to live her life now, while she can.

This book is so inspirational and light-hearted even though its darkest themes include death. It is written with such detail you find yourself engrossed in the emotions of the character, and knee-deep within everything that happens.

Not even kidding, I cried a fair few times through the duration of reading this book. :3

One thing about John Green's books is that they're all so quotable!

Other books I recommend written by him include Looking For Alaska, Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Paper Towns.
