10. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green – “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.” I inadvertently spoiled myself reading an article on BookRiot, but even so it was still a moving story. Meanwhile, I see that another community member recently described this book more proficiently than I would, so I have nothing more to add on that account. This is my book club’s April selection, and I’m looking forward to the discussion. Not only is it our first YA selection, but also there are several mothers in the group who are bound to have some noteworthy contributions about the themes of the book.
I never did finish our book for February. It was a good selection, but it just didn’t particularly grab my attention. Perhaps I will pick it up again later so I don’t have another partial read on my ledger. For now, though, I’m moving on to more of my own choices.
