Hi, I'm Melissa. You can usually find me poking around the YA section of Borders, you'd probably just mistake me for one of the 15 year olds lol But in fact, I am an ALA Card carrying Librarian working with K-5 students. I have a soft spot for YA Lit, fairy tale retellings (especially versions where the Princess kicks butt, and fractured fairy... more »

  1. John Green

    Melissa edited the summary of John Green Sunday, May 11 2008.

    • John Green enjoys adding a bit of fun to book titles by adding "in your/my pants" to their titles. For example:

      - Looking for Alaska in Your Pants
      - An Abundance of Katherines in Your Pants
      - Paper Towns in Your Pants
      - Pooh Gets Stuck in Your Pants
      ... and many others.

      (personally, my favorite is Everything is Illuminated... in Your Pants.)

      You can learn about John Green at his website, sparksflyup.com.

      You can also enjoy his Brotherhood 2.0 video blog (vlog) project at youtube: youtube.com/vlogbrothers. This challenge included 365 days of textless communication between John and his brother, Hank Green. Instead of e-mails and texts, the brothers made video logs about their days, shared them online, and created a massive following (lovingly named the Nerdfighters).

      Furthermore, in these Brotherhood 2.0 vlogs and through sparksflyup.com, John speaks about his Prinz Award Winning Book, Looking for Alaska and how it was recently challenged in a New York State school district for containing what certain people considered a "pornographic" scene. He defends his book by explaining the point of the apparently "explicit" scene, and encourages others to help stop the concept of book banning: www.sparksflyup.com/archives/weblog/2008_01_01_archive.php

      Finally, in the vlogs, John reads from the beginning of his new novel, Paper Towns, due in bookstores October 2009. It's a fantastic reading, sure to excite you for the new book!
