HOLY SMOKES, IT'S HERE!!!
OK, this post has two "It's Here!"s:
1) This Star Won't Go Out - Now that you've read (and fallen in love with) The Fault In Our Stars...meet Esther who was a real-life NERD FIGHTER and inspired Hazel's character. This book is a collection of the journals, fiction, letters, and sketeches of the late Esther Grace Earl, who passed away in 2010 at the age of 16. Photographs and essays by family and friends will help to tell Esther's story along with an introduction by award-winning author John Green who dedicated his #1 bestselling novel The Fault in Our Stars to her (BP).
HCMS library has 5 copies; so come and check one out today!
2) The Fault In Our Stars official movie trailer is OUT!!!! HOLY MOLY!
Ok, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. And like any book I love, am wicked scared of the movie. Because we all know that film makers tend to screw it all up. But I am definitely going to go see this movie because:
A) John Green gave his blessing and spent pretty much every day on the set. We know he'd kick some bootay (or at least be producing some hater Nerd Fighter YouTube videos) if things were not accurately portrayed. So I trust him.
B) I love Shaileen Woodley. I think she's going to do right by Hazel Grace Lancaster. And whoo, Ansel Elgort makes for a pretty dang good Augustus.
JUNE 6, PEOPLE! JUNE 6!!!!!

BINGO!
Man, I LOVE playing BINGO! And there's no better feeling than to be the first one to call out, "BINGO!"
So here's a New Year's Challenge for you...It's still considered New Year's, right?! We're still in the first month of the year!
So here's a New Year's Challenge for you...It's still considered New Year's, right?! We're still in the first month of the year!
Random House created 2 printable bingo cards with 24 reading challenges! Join us and challenge yourself to read more, to read more widely and to have fun doing it all! Which card are you going to try your hand at? The original Reading Bingo 2014 card? The YA card? Both? Let us know in the comments.
You can approach the Reading Bingo card however you like: beginners, start by getting one line; if you’re more advanced, try the whole outside box on the card; experts, fill in the whole card! So save a BINGO card to your iPad and use an annotation app to keep track of your squares. Or kick it Old School and print it out.
We would recommend using one book per space, but if you read a book over 500 pages written by someone under 30, who are we to stop you from covering two squares with one read?
Once you get a BINGO!, come and see us in the library for a super de duper prize!
Happy Reading!
