Linda's right: The Fault in Our Stars is amazing. I'm actually between books right now. I haven't had time to get into anything since I got home from Boston, and it's going to be hard to choose one from all the great titles I picked up there! Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-750433799993991153.post-53410811751390783442013-11-27T14:14:18.722-05:002013-11-27T14:14:18.722-05:00Now I am jealous; you actually got to meet John Gr...Now I am jealous; you actually got to meet John Green!Jaanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027755562339582129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-750433799993991153.post-39450597462578213652013-11-27T14:11:54.730-05:002013-11-27T14:11:54.730-05:00Bookstores are truly fun places to be!

I don't necessarily buy anything, but it just feels good. <br />I loved The Fault in Our Stars. I read all the other John Green's books after that. I like his style.Terje https://www.blogger.com/profile/13569210226711674834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-750433799993991153.post-84209630996802121512013-11-27T08:22:25.085-05:002013-11-27T08:22:25.085-05:00I love gathering on the web to share our love of b...I love gathering on the web to share our love of books.

I have lots of my own books at home- I love books, and I love my Kindle, which I have been filling with e-books for several years now. Most recent book purchase- Donalyn Miller's Reading in the Wild. Love it! a recent gift- a signed by the author copy of Flora and Ulysses, Kate DiCamillo's latest.
