Jan Berenstain, who with her husband wrote and illustrated the Berenstain Bears books, gentle best-sellers that enlightened preschoolers for half a century with simple lessons about kindness and tidiness, and reasons not to be afraid of the doctor, died on Friday in Solebury, Pa. She was 88.

The Fault in Our Stars is currently outselling Breaking Dawn and Twilight.  I just thought the nerdfighters would appreciate this :)

This is an example of a thing that I never thought would happen to me.

J Scribble in silver sharpie!

omg i am totally jealous, mine had yet to arrive.

Oh no! Did you order through Amazon? I did. A nice guy drove up in an unmarked creepy car and left it on my doorstep to make sure I got it on time.

lmao!

No, I had THOUGHT I ordered it on Amazon, and then last night I went to check and couldn’t find it in my history! And then I panicked thinking that maybe I just imagined that I preordered it, and then I got all sad because I wasn’t gonna get a signed copy. BUT, this morning I got an email from Barnes and Noble that my preorder had shipped :) so I feel much better now. However, it is shipping to my parents address in Michigan. Because I think at the time I preordered my roommate and I were looking for a new apartment, and I didn’t want to send it to my old apartment’s address if we weren’t gonna be there. So now I will possibly have to wait until February to get/read it, which makes me sad. BUT my roommate ordered me the special John Green audio-book version boxset thingy for Christmas, and that is coming here… so now I am debating if I should just go ahead and listen to it first, or wait to actually read it…. decisions decisions

‘Sometimes you read a book and it feels you with this weird evangelical zeal and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless, and until, all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction which you can’t tell people about. Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.’

SHIT
they still scare me now idc 

THESE WERE THE BOOKS THAT HAUNTED ME DURING MY ELEMENTARY YEARS!!! HOLLYYY FUUCKKK!!! I REMEMBER THE IMAGES. IM HAVING FLASHBACKS!!! THOSE PICTURES IN THE BOOK WERE SO SCARY!!!!

YESSSSSSSS. My mom didn’t want me reading horror stories, but I would check these out anyways (along with Goosebumps) and read them at school or sneak them into the house. Remember the one with that crazy bitch who always had to wear a scarf around her neck and then one day she had her boyfriend or husband or whoever untie it and HER FUCKING HEAD FELL OFF! Yeah, that one haunted me.
