Hey everyone, I just finished this one book that I have to tell you about. Interestingly, it doesn't have a title so far. Still, it's an absolutely brilliant book. It was written by Mark Jones... Wait.
WHOA! I FINISHED ANOTHER BOOK! TAKE THAT WORLD! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Ahem. Right. Just letting you know! :)
Interestingly, my one subscriber Laura recently finished a book. Go Laura! This Christmas we'll have editing parties, and then they'll both be bestsellers, and then... we'll rule the world! :)
Thanks for reading,
-Mark

Paper Towns
Hi everyone! Sorry I missed yesterday's post... and the post before that... and the post before that...
A long time after...
and the post before that. I swear, I still love you. I just took a five month vacation from you, thats all.
Today, we have Paper Towns, by John Green, on the table.
Now, I don't know if I mentioned this in my review of An Abundance of Katherines, but John Green, if you're one of the few people who still hasn't heard of him, is awesome. First of all, he writes great books. Bestselling books. In fact, I looked up a list awhile back of the 100 best books for teens, and all four books John Green wrote on his own were there, as well as a book he co-authored with David Levithan. He hits the mark every single time.
And then there are his youtube channels; vlogbrothers, which he does with his brother and has videos ranging from education to songs to funny things that happened to them the other day, and Crash Course, which is an entertaining but informative video series on science and history and all that good stuff. As well, he and his brother created vidcon, which I'm sure most of you have heard about. Overall, John Green is just an incredible guy. Look him up, people.
And now for the book. Paper towns is about a high school kid called Quentin, or Q for short. He likes (and by like I mean like likes) a girl named Margo Roth Spiegalman, who is crazily adventurous and quite good looking, to. He's always been half-friends with Margo, but then one day, she arrives at his window in the dead of the night. She wants him to go with her on a crazy adventure throughout the city, breaking into stores and parks, and just going crazy. Of course Q accepts.
It all seems to be going dreadfully well for Q. I mean, he's spending time with a girl that he really likes, and he's having a grand old time going on an adventure with her. But then, of course, a wrench is thrown into his life. The next day, Margo has disappeared, run away. And she's left a breadcrumb trail that it seems she wants Q to follow. And so he tries to, and discovers along the way that there was a lot more to Margo then he had originally thought...
Duh duh duh! I'll tell you right now, people, it's a great book. And you should read it right now. Why, you may ask? Well, they're making a movie out of it! Coming out sometime next year, people. So read the book! You won't regret it!
Thanks for reading,
