Hello blog readers^•^
I haven't posted any book reviews in a while. Sorry about that. I'm afraid to say that this blog is not going to be a book review, as you might have already realized from the title. I have decided to move my blog over to my tumblr, carolinenewmen.tumblr.com .I will continue where I left off on my tumblr blog. All though I have loved blogging here my tumblr blog has been much more successful- there I have over 200 followers and here only 10. I'm also going to start writing less in my reviews, only because they took so much time it took the fun out of writing them. So please come and join me on tumblr while I try to read 100 books this year.
I normally end my post bye saying "adieu", which is the French word for "farewell". But I'm not leaving you today, only moving with you. So let me say a bientôt. See you soon.

Stars
Hello blog readers^•^
As you guys know I rate all of the books I read from one star to five stars. The last blog I posted for book #13: Will Grayson, Will Grayson I gave it a score of four stars. Right after I posted that I went and looked at my blog for book #6: Looking for Alaska. I gave that book a score of three stars. 'But wait... You just said in your Will Grayson blog that you liked Looking for Alaska better than Will Grayson. Why would you give it a lower score?' you might be asking your self this right noe (you probably aren't, but just in case you are). I just wanted to tell you guys that I don't rate books compared to other books I have read like it's some big book contest. I rate them on what my expectations for the book where and if they meet, didn't meet, or exceeded them, if the book me feel anything/ changed me/ taught me something, and just how much I liked it. And my scale of stars changes everyday depending on my mood really. I just thought I would clear that up.
Thanks for reading - C

Book #13
Hello blog readers^•^ It's been a while.
Book #13: Will Grayson, Will Grayson
Finished: April 2, 2011
Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I was just on vacation over my spring break (which ends tomorrow D: ) and didn't have a lot of free time, or access to a computer. But don't worry, I have still been reading a ton and have many books to tell you about! One of the books I recently finished is Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan.
Will Grayson, Will Grayson Summary: This book is about two boys, both named Will Grayson, who live completely different lives but fate finds themselves crossing each others path. This chance meeting extremity changes both of their lives.
My favorite things about the book: I'm a nerdfighter. I love John Green. He's amazing. So I really liked this book. John also wrote book #6: Looking for Alaska, which I thought was great. I really liked Will Grayson too but not as much. If you have read any of John's novels before than you know that he has this style he writes in. It's a witty, sarcastic, humorous but smart kind of style and I really like it. But John didn't write this book alone. You can really tell what parts John must have come up with and what parts David came up with. So I thought that was kinda cool.
I liked how when they switched between Will Graysons from chapter to chapter they changed the format of the writing so you could tell them apart. That was really helpful. And I love how fate brings these to people together and they end up helping each other. Both of the Will's are closed in people who separate them selves from the world. One who believes silence and not caring is golden and the other who the only person he has ever let in was someone who turned out to be fake. But by the end of the novel, because they meet, they end up changing their ways of going about life. I think that's just a great story.
Some things I didn't like about the book: The only thing I don't love about John's writing is that he does us swear words and borderline sexual content that I dint love. I'm basically saying his books are PG-13 if that makes any sence. I don't really mind this stuff but I don't really love it. I still think he's an amazing author. The only other thing I didn't love about this book was one part at the beginning that cut me close to the bone. That's all in going to say about that. My wounds haven't fully held yet. But that doesn't matter. It was still a great book.
Rating: I would give Will Grayson, Will Grayson a 4.0 out of 5 stars
Recommend it?: Yes, I thought it was very smart. Do read!
Disagree or agree with anything I just wrote? Let me know in the comments :). Thanks for reading! Another blog very soon!
13 down, 87 to go
That's all for now
