Nerf gun wars.

Mitchell and Kyle of livelavalive lip synced. lip sank?
Shay Carl is so nice.
Meghan Tonjes and Kina Granis both sing like angels.
YouTube has this amazing play room that looks better than the whole rest of the conference.
My stomach hurts.

So says John Green on twitter. It is awesome :D
Now I am saying the same thing on tumblr. Click the link. Read the poem. It really shaped my thinking about TFiOS a lot.

beneaththelights asked: Heya!
I feel sort of stupid asking this, but I work at a bookstore and a lot of people have been wanting to make sure "The Fault in Our Stars" will be signed if they order it from the store and not online...I've been saying it won't be any different, and I just want to verify I haven't been lying to about a bajillion customers.
I'm so excited for the...

Breaking up.
roguepaperfairy:
My now ex boyfriend, who knew we were going to break up, still let me barrow him my copy of Paper Towns, by John Green.
It’s been a month. He still has it.
I want it back and he will not answer my calls, texts, messages, etc.
If I have to make a road trip to get it back, I will be angry.
If it is damaged, I will be furious.
If he doesn’t respond soon, I might explode in...

Guys. I need your help.
Couple things:
1. Dear everyone in my ask box asking if their preordered copy of The Fault in Our Stars will be autographed: I cannot tell if you are kidding. But yes. Yes, it will. No matter where you preorder it, and no matter when. (Also, thanks for getting TFiOS almost back into Amazon’s Top 10! Crazy.)
2. So signing these 150,000 books is going to take a while. I need some new...

I have now gotten to the point where I let my mind wander off and imagine the next chapter—Hazel and Augustus watching V for Vendetta— in a weird internal fanfiction kind of way. Seven-ish months to go…

In the Last 24 Hours, a Dozen People Have Asked...
…why the price of The Fault in Our Stars has gone up on Amazon and B&N.
To be fair, the price has only gone up by fifty cents and it still costs less to preorder a signed first edition of The Fault in Our Stars than it costs to spend 2 hours and 3 minutes with the third installment of the Transformers movie franchise. But it has gone up nonetheless.
The discount of a book is based on...

chai-skelet0n asked: Will the british pre-orders be singed to ?^^ x
Yeah, no.
operationaltruth:
I decided I would start rereading The Great Gatsby so I could keep up with John’s analysis of it.
And thus I discovered, after rereading the first two pages, I still find myself asking, “Nick…what the hell did you just say?”
Just take your time. Keep going. The language is beautiful, but that can make it feel dense, particularly at first. I promise that once you are in the...

Looking for Alaska: A New Afterword
A new edition of Looking for Alaska will be published soon (in publishing, “soon” means “several months from now”) and as part of the new edition, I am rewriting the backmatter for the book: Where there are now spoilery discussion questions, there will now be… something else.
I figured I should turn to you for advice. Is there anything you’d like to see at the...
