Dear Maureen,

You are made of awesome. Thanks for all the helpful tips on being an author and getting an agent. And I concur with the other Nerdfighters. We need Maureen Mondays or something of the sort or you need your own channel :3

Sincerely,

Rini

Why you no use regular time instead of military time?!?!?!?!?!

[NerdBomb6]

Now that the vlogbrothers are only making videos on Tuesdays and Fridays, we should ad Maureen to the mix!

@alysrose161 haha, I was so confused after I read 13 blue envelopes because I had just finished doing a school production of rent and thought I was seeing things when I realised the author of the book(maureen) :D

@PapioG LOL well it's no problem and i'm sorry for those scarring experiences

[PapioG]

@ElpocoLoco23 I do apologise madam, I treat all people online as male by default, a prejudice view I know but it comes from my younger days playing MMORPG's in which every potential female character has a fat balding man at the controls... *shivers*

Thank you again for your insight. :D

[ElpocoLoco23]

@PapioG haha i'm actually a girl XD, anywho I wouldn't really know which Maureen book is her best seeing as I only read Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes and its sequel but I suppose that's as good as any place to start. I heard Scarlett is very good as well

[PapioG]

@ElpocoLoco23 Thank you kind sir.

Reading Oliver Bowden, then Terry Pratchets new novel, then giving Karen Chance a chance :P (I got her kindle books cheap) then... guess I'll try Maureen, What's her best book?

@PapioG That was Maureen Johnson a good friend of John's who has published several novels i.e. Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes and took over for him when Henry was first born
