Goodreads Description:
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.
Review:
*Spoilers*
Well then. I just noticed i
never gave a review on one of the best books out there. I hardly give
books a rating of 5 unless i want to be buried with it. In this case
yes.
This book was enjoyable and recommended to me by various of
whacked fanboys and fangirls who i am proud to share the same
weirdness. Now the book was really funny in the beginning, Congratulations! You're a girl, now die! That was hilarious. Towards the end, my heart started breaking because of Gus and Hazel's relationship. I knew one was going to die but it was so hard taking it when it did happen. That should never happen to anyone. They found love and a loveless place and once they did, evil took over and stopped it all. I wanted to cry when Gus died. I just sat there in the busy Barnes and Nobles I was in that day with my coffee, just staring at the page. My mom almost brought me home but i told her no, that i had to finish this for Gus.
I really enjoyed this heartbreaking story and i've just read Looking for Alaska but it just isn't the same. This book was heartbreaking the whole way and in some way, i can relate except for the chance and love. The thoughts Hazel has are like my own.

Percy Jackson: The Lighning Thief (Movie)
IMDb Description:
A teenager discovers he's the descendant of a Greek god and sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods.
Review:
Now i watched this awhile ago but i wanted to post a review before i post one about Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters because i have OCD and need everything in order. I just want to say that the movie followed the lines of the book mostly in the beginning. However, when we met Annabeth, it kinda went down hill. She is brown hair while she is suppose to have blond. It doesn't take a lot of money to freaking dye someone's hair. However, this leads me to think they didn't even read the book. Along with that, Percy and the camp aren't suppose to know he is Poseidon's son but in the movie they knew it.
Thanks for ruining the suspense.
I could run laps trying to explain everything that went horribly wrong with this movie. I honestly think they should remake it because they seemed to just take the name, the characters and the plot and threw everything in the trash. You know what we need for now on?
Exactly my point. That director would be so bruised up, it would be hilarious to us fangirls. Maybe remaking it would be taking it too far but you have to say, the movie was horrid and gave off a bad impression to us fanwarriors to go see the next one which is coming into theaters soon (I've already seen it) But thankfully, they switched directors and screenplay writers because not even Rick Riordan went to see the movie. Yeah. I am not even kidding.

The Wild TMI Adventure
I just want to say before i begin this, that i had high hopes and loved/still love Cassandra Clare even though she made a fangirl and fanboy almost murder some people.
So it all began like this: We're packing up our books that we want to get signed by Cassandra Clare and the Cast. By "we" I mean, My dad and our friends, John and Chris. John and I are huge fans of The Mortal Instruments series so that is why we were making a 4 hour trip to Miami from Tampa. So on the road we are all excited and we get there around 4:00pm and book signing is 5:30pm at Hot Topic. We head to Hot Topic where the girl that works there tells us that we can't get out books signed because we needed wristbands two weeks in advanced for buying shit at their store. She didn't call it shit but at that point, it might as well been.
Anyways, we return our books to the car and make it to the back where they are doing the Q/A thing for the cast. At least that was free. So we sit there and wait thinking it will start at 5:00pm at the latest because it makes sense to have a Q/A before a signing.
Oh how wrong we were.
It started at 6:30pm. So in the meantime, we go to this bar and i can't drink so i have a milkshake and blah blah blah. I heard shouting and I'm like YAY it must be one. (This was before we knew about the 6:30pm thing) They weren't on stage, instead they decided to play the soundtrack and all the fangirls and fanboys were singing the song of their people.
As we waited "patiently" (just happened to be swearing a lot) they started to give stuff away so John and I went downstairs and got two posters each, runes (fake tattoos) and we won shirts :D Also they did trivia but we were on the upstairs balcony and didn't see our hands flying in the air and shouting.
Finally it was 6:30pm and they walked out of "Texas De Brazil". We were actually planning on eating there because it is a nice fancy restaurant. So we took a few pictures and left (I'll add pictures later) So we go to Texas De Brazil and while we are eating, Chris says "The TMI cast is coming in behind you" John and i spin around in our chairs (mind you, we are next to the aisle) and they were literally next to us as they walked by. Now if there weren't any guards with guns, i would've asked for an autograph but i could hardly speak. John and I were speechless so Chris said "Want to dine with us?" and they laughed as they walked by. If we stuck out our hands, we would've touched them. They even brushed up again us
O.O
I was fangirling but i just couldn't do anything in this fancy restaurant. So the whole entire dinner, John and I made strange noises and looking at each other with smirks because we can't believe just happened.That is how you know if you are a fangirl or fanboy or fanwarrior. HUGE DIFFERENCE. I was a fanwarrior at that point because i was able to contain myself but a fangirl would freak. Now i know this isn't really an adventure but I'm still surprised on what happened. So my day started our not so good and at the end it was off the charts on how good it was.
We're still writing an email to Cassandra Clare because our books didn't get signed because we didn't have the bands as i mentioned. Like come on. We funded her by buying them. Just sign them for heavens sake! -.- We still love her though.
