Book Challenge - WINNER

The Book Challenge for the "The Fault In Our Stars" is now closed - exactly on the day that marks the official release of its movie adaptation ;)

As promised, here is the missing info on the quiz: I am a registered member at Goodreads and there I find lots of reading tips as well as challenges like the one I used for the google form.

In 3 weeks the movie will debut in Portugal and those who haven't read the book still have some time to do it, also because they have now some weeks off from school. As for the winner of the current challenge - it's GABI!!! Here are her correct answers:

So, GABI, thank you for your entries and congratulations! Please come forward so that I can give you the deserved prize: a book to read (what else?) and some other stuff, including the traditional "paper and pen" for you to start writing your own book as well :)

Thank you, too, to all other participants.

Book Challenge

In about a month, the movie "The Fault In Our Stars" (based on the book by John Green with the same title) will debut in Portugal. For those who have already read this amazing novel - as well as for those who still plan to do it before the movie come out - here's a quiz which may give you a PRIZE to be awarded in the beginning of June.
Disclaimer: I'm not the author of these questions, I simply created the form. The source will be disclosed along with the winner ;)

Good Luck!!!

The Fault in Our Stars - book & movie

»» Book Cover

I absolutely loved this book by American award-winning author John Green and am looking forward to watching the movie from June 26th onwards.
If you haven't read it yet, you should - either in the original version (please check this) or in Portuguese. This is a novel about 2 teens who meet in a cancer support group and fall in love. While it may sound a bit sad and heartbreaking - and it is - it is a beautiful story about being young and in love, about life and loss.


Here's a compilation of my favourite quotes from the book for you:

The book has also inspired others to bake cupcakes based on Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters's story as you can watch below (and a great idea for those who have vocational classes: instill reading and promoting their creativity by asking them to create cakes / cupcakes / tarts ... based on the books) :

Soon the movie will premiere and I am super excited to watch it.
Here's the trailer to whet your appetite for reading this novel while waiting for the movie.

 Only yesterday did I come across the official soundtrack and my favourite is the one by Ed Sheeran.  Listen:

Well, what are you waiting for? Read the book  :)

Happy Reading!
