104: TFiOS Talk

[neeeevis]

if you don't know who john green is... i think you're using the interenet wrong... :D perfect ;)

[candysomething]

@neeeevis Look at Niamh quoting me making me feel special :P Thanks for watching lovely <3

[flowerfades]

I can't watch this video because I'm trying to stay away from tfios videos until my copy comes. However, I just wanted to say: HAIR. YOURS. I LIKE IT.

[candysomething]

@flowerfades HEY. YOU. THANKS <3

[redsquirrelandreuben]

Australia; we say huh-marsh-uh. I think in any english generally the letter combinations tio/tia make sho/sha sounds (commotion=commoshon. partially=parshally etc). =)

[candysomething]

@redsquirrelandreuben I think you are right. Thanks :)

[elliegeraghtyy]

It is such a ridiculously good book. I was really looking forward to it and I'm so glad I didn't get my hopes up for nothing, it was definitely worth the wait. As soon as I finished it I gave it to my older sister (who then gave it to my younger sister after) and forced her to read it, which, as you said, I'd have never done with any other book. Seriously though, this Imperial-Affliction-not-existi­ng lark is crazy, I want to read it so much!

Your hair is lovely <3

[candysomething]

@elliegeraghtyy Ah the sharing stories make me so happy. I do wish it to exist but I suppose part of the beauty is that it doesn't. And thanks!

[NiamhStoneBabee]

your hair is so pretty :)

[candysomething]

@NiamhStoneBabee thank you! :)

[unsignedletters]

oops your* :3

[unsignedletters]

I agree with so many things you said in this video! John Green has such a perfect balance of opposites with the tears and laughter as well as the mixture of funny writing and thoughtful intelligent writing :) I can't wait to make my video tomorrow! p.s You're hair looks wonderful! xx

[candysomething]

@unsignedletters late reply ahh thank you, loved your video <3

[GemMcLean]

This is fabulosa. Love the book, I want to read An Imperial Affliction dammit! Also, har-mar-sha? 

[candysomething]

@GemMcLean Haha so much confusion, I think that's what my English teacher used to say though. And yes, the opening quote from it was wowy! :)

[GemMcLean]

@candysomething yeah if you listen to the reading of chap. 1 & 2 I think he says it like that :/ gahhh, I think he should write An Imperial Affliction next :')

[MyNameChristine]

I'm not going to watch this video until my book gets here! :P (Near the end of February)

[candysomething]

@MyNameChristine Hahaha don't forget!

[tracytmc]

the hair is so CUTE!

[candysomething]

@tracytmc Thanks :)

[eenish]

I can't wait to read it :D gonna go out and see if they have it in the book shop today. Your hair is lovely <3

[candysomething]

@eenish Yay! So excited to hear what you think! :) And thanks friend

[CharlotteAndEsme]

Yes it was really interesting as I had to learn a bit about Greek Tragedy for English anyway so I really feel like I want to give this book to my teacher! I can't get can't get the characters out of my head too, like when I'd read a bit in between lessons, it would be in the back of my head for the whole of double chemistry or whatever I had next. But I like that, gave me more time to think about it I suppose...and who needs chemistry anyway?! :P Also, you look ravishing with a fringe. - E <3

[candysomething]

@CharlotteAndEsme Haha chemistry schmemistry. I feel like I want to give this book to THE WORLD. Haha, ravishing. Thanks dear :D

[Hobartthedolphinboy]

Is yours not signed? =[

[candysomething]

@Hobartthedolphinboy Nope

[ManjotKaur97]

So good. Two reasons why I can't give the book to my mom, (1) She doesn't read, and (2) she knows what it's like to have cancer (also, she's a doctor...)

The book was fantastic! I kind of wish that Peter was thrown out of a window or something, but whatevs.

american pronunciation (huh-marsh-ah)

[DaithiDublin]

I have to say, he wasn't on my radar but that review sounded like high praise to me, so he goes on the list. The quote you mentioned there reminds me of the answer Christopher Hitchens gave late last year (not sure if you knew of him or not, but he was suffering from oesophageal cancer at the time). He was asked after a debate "How are you Christopher?", to which he replied, "Well, I'm dying. But so are you. I'm just doing it quicker."

[Kezipoo]

I can't stop thinking about this book, it even had more of an effect on me than Paper Towns and that is one of my all time favourites.

also, fringy is adorbs and I loved this one sided discussion x

[SeanieBlahBlah]

OOoohhh, I thought it was called the fault OF our stars, I was like.. that acronym mankes no sense! That bit you were saying about the contrast. Was told in a film lecture once that if you want to have great things happen to something, it's good to give them a low first, so then the victory seems even bigger!

[Katest3r]

I have to get this book :) John Green is awesome

[candysomething]

@Katest3r I'd send you mine but... selfishselfishselfish :P <3

[SunflowerCrpm]

Already added John Green novels to my amazon wishlist :) and I love the hair <3

[candysomething]

@SunflowerCrpm Ah good call! And thanks :)

[YouveBeenLaurified]

TFiOS was fantastic! I finished it on the day it came out and I still can't stop thinking about it. :)

[candysomething]

@YouveBeenLaurified Yay! I don't know how long is appropriate to wait before re-reading :P

[HeresKellie]

oh hey fringe :D

[candysomething]

@HeresKellie Fringe says hey

[dollylingo]

[candysomething]
