John Green          

        The next author that I will be talking about this time is the amazing John Green. John Green is a young adult writer and my all-time favorite writer; he is also one of my favorite people on the planet.  John has written four different novels: Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns, and The Fault in Our Stars. His books are funny, intelligent, sad, and wonderful all at the same time, and sometimes all on the same page. The characters in all his books are relevant and you feel as if they could be your friends. Out of all of his amazing books, it is hard to pick my favorite, but I read The Fault in Our Stars last so it is my current favorite. I have never before laughed or cried so much in one book. TIFIOS as it is known now on the internet is a bittersweet story of a young girl with cancer, her amazing life, and the struggles she goes through. I know most people do not think a book about cancer can be funny but if you took the time to read TIFIOS then you would understand. This book is a masterpiece. It came out in January, debuted on the bestseller list at #1, and has been talked about a lot lately in the media.

                Another reason that I love John Green so much is his internet work. He and his brother Hank have a very successful YouTube channel that focuses on the increasing Awesome and decreasing Worldsuck. John puts just as much wit and intelligence that are in his books into his channel. He makes people feel good about themselves and he knows not to talk down to anyone. I have had the immense pleasure to meet and hear John and Hank speak on the TIFIOS book tour in January and it was one of the highlights of my life. His books and work on the internet have made me what I am today, and I absolutely cannot thank him enough for the joy he has given me in past 3 years I have known about him. I have included a video from the Vlogbrothers on my blog. You should watch it and I assure you that watching one video most likely will not be enough. Much like Pringles once you pop you just can’t stop! This video is about his newest book TIFIOS and frequently asked questions. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Oh and HAPPY READING!!!
