Today I am going to talk briefly about an AMAZING author who I just discovered in 2012...
JOHN GREEN!
My love of John Green started in March with The Fault in Our Stars. This was a GREAT place to start as TFiOS was named the BEST NOVEL OF 2012 by Time magazine! That is a HUGE honor, and 100% deserved!
After falling into that amazingness, I vowed to read every John Green book ever written. This led me to Paper Towns. Again, just click on the link to read my gushing review. Next up: Will Grayson, Will Grayson, with David Levithan. More gushing.
I then picked up An Abundance of Katherines. This was the first book of John's that I was just kind of like, "Ehh..." But I'm not discouraged. Most of my favorite authors have penned one book I didn't really care for (perfect examples are Sophie Kinsella and Rick Riordan. With both of them, I love everything they've written, except one book I don't care for. But that's another post for another time.)
In 2013, I must read Looking for Alaska, as that is one of John's most famous, award-winning books.
Three final things about John Green:
1. He lives in Indianapolis. My sister lives in Indianapolis. (...I'm just saying...)
2. My local Target had one random signed copy of TFiOS that I debated buying, but ended up not. Needless to say, I am still kicking myself for that one.
3. If I had to choose a favorite of the three of his books I've read...no. I can't. I love them all!
Have you read any John Green books? Which one is your favorite?
I still have his books on my TBR list, but I really want to read them. I have heard great things about them from several people.
ReplyDeleteI have heard such good things about him .. I need to read his books!
