Mercurial Musings

I read. I write. I think. I share.

She liked books more than anything else, and was, in fact, always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself.

Neil Gaiman, no!  

It seemed a nicer thing to do than to point out to all the people who were writing in and yelling at me on Twitter that Twitter has a 140 character limit and explain the concept of an abbreviation to them.

If you’re looking for an inspiration today, look no further than Jacob Barnett. I like his mom’s concept of “muchness”: Surrond children with what they love, be it art, science, sports or whatever, and they will develop more fully than molding them to a design would ever allow. Awesome.

fishingboatproceeds: So this is a thing.  It’s a box set containing all four of my solo novels in hardcover, and both Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars are signed. The case for the box set, which is really amazing, was designed by nerdfighter extraordinaire Karen Kavett. It also includes a hardcover edition of the new cover for An Abundance of Katherines designed by the awesome Sarah Turbin. The box set is really beautiful (I’ve just seen one), and I’m psyched about it. I’ve received lots of questions about whether this is real, etc., so yes, it is real, and yes, it is available for preorder.  SOMEWHAT RELATED: While signing for the box set, I signed a lot more copies of Looking for Alaska (I really enjoy signing my name), and starting in Octoberish, you’ll be able to find them in independent bookstores (and only independent bookstores!) around the United States.
