It is such a great book. I'm actually hoping that my copy of <i>The Infinite Sea</i> gets here today so I can see what happens before someone ends up spoiling it for me.

They definitely had their differences, but alot of aspects of the story were the same. I'm not sure which book was published first though. I haven't read Paper Towns, and I don't think I'm ever going to read The Abundance of Catherines, so that's probably why I say Looking for Alaska is my favorite lol<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996995361383050875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659639521679396927.post-41449947879699459912014-09-18T08:06:06.660-04:002014-09-18T08:06:06.660-04:00Yeah.

It's short and really makes you think. If you don't like that book, then I would swear off John Green.<br /><br />I've been thinking of reading Hilary Duff's books! She was just recently in Australia (where I live). Did you actually enjoy the first one?Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762635239865326562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659639521679396927.post-59510904588394651922014-09-16T23:43:34.817-04:002014-09-16T23:43:34.817-04:00Okay so I'm sooooo butting in this conversatio...Okay so I'm sooooo butting in this conversation! lol. Since you guys didn't enjoy TFIOS, to read more work from John Green, I would start with Looking For Alaska. I preferred that over TFIOS. Maybe it was the boarding school, or the characters, I'm not sure but I cried at the end because I was so pissed. In a good way though. I reallyyyyy liked Will Grayson, Will Grayson. The ending was stupid as hell, BUT that didn't take away from the rest of the story. You're going to love Tiny. <br /><br />Erin, I haven't read anyone on your list except John Green so we're kinda even now! lol<br /><br />Jules, I'm heading over to your blog to check out your list!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996995361383050875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659639521679396927.post-54486358758496744382014-09-16T20:47:09.236-04:002014-09-16T20:47:09.236-04:00I was supposed to read Wintergirls for an August c...I was supposed to read <i>Wintergirls</i> for an August challenge, but too much got in the way. Oops. I actually didn't enjoy <i>Speak.</i> I don't know why, but I never wanted to pick it up after taking a break.<br /><br />I'm thinking that <i>Will Grayson, Will Grayson</i> is going to be the book that I'll read by him next, but I feel like because it's a collaboration, it doesn't really count towards him, you know? I'll have to read one that is solely by Green.

It's so beautiful and so tragic. It really opens your eyes to eating disorders and how toxic the community can be. <br /><br />I actually totally agree with you about John Green! I read The Fault in Our Stars and just wasn't all that impressed. I'd really like to try out Will Grayson, Will Grayson, though.<br /><br />Julia @ http://www.thebookofjules.blogspot.comJypsel Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650774159592543778noreply@blogger.com
