For fans of The Fault in Our Stars

I made a print and framed it for Ginger's birthday and now I'm offering a free download of it over on my other blog. Since it's book-related and some people reading this MUST love The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, I thought I should mention it over here...

Click here to head over to my personal blog for more details and a download link. Happy printing!

The Best Way To Re-Read Twilight

So, you've all seen this, yes?

(I'm double checking, since I linked it to @hittingongirls when he mentioned having read Twilight & he didn't know about it.)

If you missed it, WATCH EVERY SINGLE ONE RIGHT NOW! Because every video is funny & spot-on & full of things like this:

On Bella's description of Edward Cullen's hair: "Weird description. --  'I was mugged.' 'What did he look like?' 'He was tall with bronze hair!'

And this: 

Or from chapter two, when Bella compares Mike to a golden retriever: "This guy Mike, who's into Bella, she's just completely a dick to him."

Alex Day (nerimon on YouTube) never misses a subplot or an instance of weird word usage and I laugh every time I watch it without fail.

(PS - There is a tiny Maureen Johnson cameo in the chapter seven video. It's awkward (and awesome), as expected.)

TGIF #01

TGIF is a weekly feature hosted by Ginger at GReads. Each week, we re-cap the week's posts and answer a question.

THE QUESTION: What are some of your favorite book quotes?

"If our school ever performed a play about the French Revolution, she could play the guillotine."
     -- Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway


"A moment of reserve. "That was it? The whole story?"
"Yes. God, you're right. That was pants."
I sidestep another aggressive couscous vendor. "Pants?"
"Rubbish. Crap. Shite."
Pants. Oh heavens, that's cute."
     -- Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins


"You want to take me to a movie?" I asked.
"Well, not really," he said. "What I really want is for you to be my girlfriend. But I thought saying that might scare you off."
     -- What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen


"It is better to be alone, she figures, than to be with someone who can't see who you are. It is better to lead than to follow. It is better to speak up than stay silent. It is better to open doors than to shut them on people.
She will not be simple and sweet. She will not be what people tell her to be."
     -- The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart

THIS WEEK AT STORYBOUND GIRL:

Does reading any of those quotes make anyone else want to re-read all of those books as much as me?!
