I know it's been a while since I've blogged and this post will probably be of little interest to some of you, but it needs to be said. Now, onto the important bit of the blog:
I am sending out a message to all UK Nerdfighters.
It has come to my attention that John Green's books are not widely stocked in UK bookshops. There used to be one copy of Alaska in my local Borders, but they don't even have that any more. Waterstones don't have anything. And don't even get me started on WHSmiths...worst bookshop ever. I know that John Green could be really really popular in the UK, if bookshops would give him a chance to be. And I think he totally deserves to be.
So if you are a nerdfighter and you live in the UK, or anywhere that you feel John Green should be more widely known than he is, why not write a letter to your nearest bookshop requesting that they add John Green's books to their stock?
If we can get just one more John Green into a bookshop and therefore make one more person's life a little more awesome, we can be pleased with ourselves. And think of it this way - this is the first step towards getting John Green himself to come to the UK...if that doesn't entice you, I don't know what will.
There's a Facebook group which you can join to show your support: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/group.php?gid=109003938809&ref=nf
Tell your friends, blog/vlog/whatever it is you people do about it, join the Facebook group, spread the word! Let's make this campaign work and help decrease world suck!

And now we can commence the normal programming of rambling nonsense and vaguely amusing anecdotes that no one really cares about.
Bye
