 Book Summary: Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.
Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning-author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

Review: This was the first book I have ever read by John Green and it set the bar really high. I loved every single aspect of this story. Going into this book, I had been one of the last people to read this and hearing great things, I had very high hopes. One side of me had really high expectations but the other side was worried that it'd just be another typical, sad love story. As this story came to an end, one word to NEVER describe this book is typical. It might sound cliche, but this story really did have me guessing at every corner. The plot was unmatchable and the love the two main characters portrayed was a thing of beauty. Please, if you haven't read this book yet DROP EVERYTHING AND GO READ IT! Now all I can do is pray that the movie will do it justice. Love love love.

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is: Home is where the bodies are buried. Darkly humorous and heart-wrenchingly beautiful, Jennifer Longo’s YA debut about a girl stuck living in a cemetery will change the way you look at life, death, and love. Leigh sells graves for her family-owned cemetery because her father is too lazy to look farther than the dinner table when searching for employees. Working the literal graveyard shift, she meets two kinds of customers: Pre-Need:  They know what’s up. They bought their graves a long time ago, before they needed them. At Need:  They are in shock, mourning a loved one’s unexpected death. Leigh avoids sponging their agony by focusing on things like guessing the headstone choice (mostly granite). Sarcastic and smart, Leigh should be able to stand up to her ...

Hi everyone! Sorry again for the long time, no talk....I'm done coming up with excuses though! I'm really going to try to stay more committed to this again because I have recently realized how much I missed reading. Yesterday I took a trip to the bookstore and bought three books; one of which I have already read, and the review will be up very shortly. Here are the books!   Only three for me this week due to the fact that I am starting up once again. Thank you so much for your patience with me everyone, it's good to be back.

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! Review 1) If You Find Me  by Emily Murdoch *Thank you St. Martins Press!* - I have already read this one and it is an amazing, heartbreaking contemporary story. 2) OtherBound  by Corinne Duyvis *Thank you Abrams!* - This has been added to my TBR pile since it only comes out in June, but I might not be able to wait that long with a synopsis like this one! 3) Under The Egg  by Laura Marx Fitzgerald *Thank you Penguin!* - I am currently reading this one and although I'm only about 40 pages in, enough has happened to keep me completely interested!  4) Under the Light  by Laura Whitcomb *Thank you Houghton!* - I actually wasn't aware that there was a first one to this, but ...
