Thought I’d introduce you to my best friends.
So these are my best friends Hazel Grace and Augustus.
I do not know who made this fan art, but it is fantastic.
I cannot sleep…
So I am going to go answer some questions at the blog where I answer readers questions about TFIOS, WHICH YOU CAN ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE FINISHED THE FAULT IN OUR STARS BECAUSE THERE ARE SPOILERS.
The Fault in Science Fiction.
Well, it is kind of science fiction, in the sense that it is fiction that occasionally mentions science. (But seriously, Target. Thanks for reading my book!)
Only if You’ve Read The Fault in Our Stars…
I have updated the tumblr devoted to your questions, and my answers, about The Fault in Our Stars. I will try to answer a few more questions tonight. There are lots of spoilers. Don’t click that link if you haven’t read the book. Seriously. Okay, thanks.
Edit: Drawn by this 15-year-old nerdfighter. She’s great!

Now with no password…BUT STILL WITH SPOILERS
I’ve removed the password protection for OnlyIfYouFinishedTFiOS, the blog in which I answer questions readers have asked about The Fault in Our Stars.
Even though I have removed the password, you still should not visit this blog unless and until you’ve finished The Fault in Our Stars, as it contains A LOT of spoilers.
Thoughts from Places: On being right but wrong—and pantsless in Amsterdam.
Tulipomania
“AIA is about this girl names Anna (who narrates the story) and her one-eyed mom, who is a professional gardener obsessed with tulips…” (Green 48)Tulips are mentioned in a couple other sections of the book, and in this particular circumstance of Anna’s mother (and by extension in Hazel’s mind, her own mother) being obsessed with tulips. The vlogbrothers video above discusses how the most beautiful and prized tulip above all others was also carried the disease which made it beautiful. This parallels the idea in TFIOS of beauty in disease that began with Thoreau’s quote on consumption and the hectic glow. Anna’s mother being obsessed with tulips appears to be not just a horticultural disposition, but a mother’s own obsession with her beautiful and sick child.
God I love this blog. It’s like the nicest blog ever to happen to a writer ever, because s/he reads with such clarity and care and thoughtfulness. It’s obscenely flattering.
