This post is part of a series on the blog where I share some of the nuggets of wisdom and inspiration — related to writing and/or life — that I find steeped in the pages of novels that I’ve read.
This comes from one my favorite YA novels so far this year. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
 |
From Hazel Grace, the narrator of the novel: |
I’m hoping our library gets this soon! but seriously, what’s up with the cover? Unless I’ll get it after I read the book.
Ha, I think it’s just one of those “abstract” covers. No meaning at all — at least I didn’t get any meaning from the cover. Maybe trying not to be so obviously a YA book.
The Fault in our Stars is great, isn’t it? Love the quote!
This is my favorite book of the year so far. Very emotionally moving.
That’s a powerful quote. And I love John Green’s writing. Yup, I need to read this novel. Thanks, Karen!
I think you will enjoy this novel a lot. Emotional but also very funny as well.
I’m reading this book right now! It’s amazing. :)
I knew that you would enjoy this book. It has the best of everything contemporary novels can give.
I love this feature, sharing nuggets of wisdom from books you’re reading! Great stuff. And now I’ve got another book to add to my TBR pile :-) Thanks!
So glad that you enjoy Novel Wisdom. :) I need have a “waiting list” of others to share. You should definitely put this on your reading list. You will enjoy it. A great powerful book.
You may hate me, but I’ve actually never read anything by John Green … I know, I know. Maybe I’ll pick this one up though :)
Ha, don’t feel bad. The only other John Green book I’ve read is LOOKING FOR ALASKA. You might like that one as well. :)
I have yet to read a John Green novel, I”m ashamed to say.
By the way, I just tagged you for a post!
Don’t feel bad. This is only the second one I’ve read. The other is LOOKING FOR ALASKA, which I also enjoyed.
I’ve heard great things about this book lately!
I’m not a very big contemporary novel fan, but this book really just hit me in my heart. A good read. You should definitely put it on your list.
What a beautiful quote! That novel is definitely on my list, I’ve heard such good things about it. :)
I underlined this phrase as soon as I read it. I think it’s because I’m a writer and wouldn’t all of us want a reader to say this about our books? :)
