Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.

I also like to remind myself of something my dad said to me once in re. writers’ block: “Coal miners don’t get coal miners’ block.

Fingers crossed my copy of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars arrives today! The weather is unseasonably cold in Melbourne and my usual beach ride route is closed for triathlons over the weekend. I can’t think of anything better than curling up with a good book.

30 Day Book Challenge: Day 6
FAVOURITE YOUNG ADULT BOOK
John Green’s Paper Towns
I love this book because it’s fun and inventive and exciting, but it’s also very dark and the darkness creeps up on the reader.
I like that it doesn’t have a neat ending and that Q and Margo don’t suddenly realise that their parents and teachers were right all along. In fact, I love that the adults don’t have much of a role.
The characters are flawed and they don’t understand themselves or each other, which is just how I felt as a teenager.
I love all John Green’s books because he hasn’t forgotten what it’s like to be young and how intense everything feels.

He liked the mere act of reading, the magic of turning scratches on a page into words inside his head.

Her library filled her bookshelves and then overflowed into waist-high stacks of books everywhere, piled haphazardly against the walls. If just one of them moved… the domino effect could engulf the three of us in an asphyxiating mass of literature.
