A good start to the CNY break came in the form of the arrival of John Green's latest novel, The Fault in Our Stars. Thankfully it only took 11 days, instead of my expected 20. To begin with, when John announced he was going to sign all the pre-orders of the book, I knew I had to get myself a copy. After delaying it for a a few weeks, my friends and I finally got around to placing the order and the wait began.
And so it came. I was really excited to open the package and see what colour Sharpie I got, and whether there was a Yeti or a Hanklerfish in it. So I opened the box, marvelled at that gorgeous blue cover and picked up the first one to open. Green J-Scribble. Next book. I flipped it open, saw what was inside and jumped up, did a really odd happy dance while screaming pretty loudly. A YETI A YETI. A purple one, to be exact. Standing on a Blue J-Scribble. The slow opening sped up as I rushed to open the others to find another three J-Scribbles.
BUT OH MY GOD, A YETI. THE ODDS OF IT.
The fault may be in our stars,
but the Yeti was in it too.
YAY.
And then I find out the next morning that Hank had reblogged my tumblr post. Double excitement.
Oh, the things only Nerdfighters would understand.
Cheers. More later perhaps?
