He accidentally got rid of his wife's beloved copy of Judy Blume's Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
I accidentally gave this book away on Saturday July 25th in a box on the corner of Green & Franklin. This book is extremely important to my wife. It was a keepsake from her mother and is irreplaceable. On the inside cover is a note that reads "Christmas 1991." If you happened to pick up this book can you please get in touch with me.

John Green Has Defended Cara Delevingne And Called Out Sexist Questions
Posted by Unknown on Friday, July 31, 2015
The author of the book Paper Towns has written a blog post in the wake of Cara’s intensely awkward interview about the film adaptation.
Earlier this week, Cara Delevinge was the subject of an intensely awkward interview during the promotional trail for her new movie, Paper Towns.
Good Day Sacramento
She hit back at questions and comments branding her "irritable" and was less than impressed with the suggestion that maybe she "needed a nap".
Good Day Sacramento
However, she was especially irked when asked whether she had read the John Green book on which the film is based. She responded sarcastically, saying she hadn't even read the script and "just winged it".
Good Morning Sacramento
But now the author of the book, John Green has written a blog post, defending Cara and calling out the sexist questions he's witnessed her being asked.

32 Lessons The Harry Potter Books Taught Us About Love
Posted by Unknown on Friday, July 31, 2015
The most powerful magic of all.
You won't always know The One when you meet them.
Taking the time to fall in love with someone doesn't make you love them any less. Love is about growing with someone, getting to know them and yourself. It's about becoming your own people and respecting each other for it.
Ron and Hermione were both PRETTY obnoxious at the outset of the series, and we all know James had a LONG way to go before he was worthy of Lily, and that's ok! People can surprise you, people can get better, and everybody needs a little time to find themselves
Warner Bros
But you might.
Ginny was mad about Harry from the second she saw him, but that didn't keep their relationship from deepening and becoming its own thing, unfettered by a childhood crush, as the years went on.
Some people fall in love at first sight, some people do it slowly, but what matters is keeping the commitment once you've made it.
Warner Bros
Platonic love is real.
The nonexistent love triangle that launched a thousand shipping wars proves it. Harry and Hermione were great friends without a hint or interest in romance. They loved each other, they were family, and it was beautiful. A strong, truly platonic friendship is hard to find, but ones built on mutual respect, trust, and admiration are possible.
Warner Bros
And romantic love isn't rational.
Dormant Harmony shippers MAY want to argue in the comments regarding JK Rowling's recent suggestion that maybe Harry and Hermione were more compatible than Ron and Hermione, but compatible as they were, they weren't into each other, sorry.
And the truth is, that's kind of beautiful. Compatibility is important in friendships AND romantic relationships, but just because something ticks all the boxes on paper doesn't mean it feels right in the heart.

10 Classic Books That Could Use A Gritty TV Reboot
Posted by Unknown on Friday, July 31, 2015
They’re doing it for Little Women, so why not these other favorites?
Focused on a young girl named Claire living in a downtrodden neighborhood in rural Texas, Goodnight Moon is a drama in which our heroine must battle both the verbal abuse she suffers at the hands of her parents and the personal struggle to discover her true calling outside of her insular community. Claire's one confidant is an anthropomorphized version of the moon, which only she can see and interact with. As the moon encourages her to say goodbye to the life that has held her back, Claire must make a decision — should she leave behind all she has ever known?
Harper & Brothers
Unlike the film adaptations, the TV version of this classic Roald Dahl novel will take the violence to the next level. Reimagining the tale as a horror anthology, each week's episode will tell the story of a new child invited to visit Willy Wonka's factory only to come face to face with increasingly terrifying sights as they make their way through the tour. Will these candy-loving kiddies be able to survive their day at the factory, or will the horrors within consume them?
The Harold from the beloved children's book is all grown up, and this series follows him through a world of sex, drugs, and the near-constant threat of violence. After accidentally maiming a drug dealer in a transaction gone wrong, Harold must use his trusty purple crayon to flee from the gang chasing after him hoping to get revenge. But how much of Harold's crayon-infused world is real and how much is merely a hallucination stemming from years of drug abuse? Can Harold ever truly feel safe when he can not even be sure that his own mind is trustworthy?

Posted by Unknown on Thursday, July 30, 2015
All the hair.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard of the new movie Paper Towns.
The movie is based off the book of the same name by best-selling author John Green.
20th Century Fox
The thing is, the movie poster for Paper Towns looks A LOT like the movie poster for Disney's Tangled.
Walt Disney Animation Studios
See the resemblance?
Both posters feature:
1. Blonde female leads.
2. Brunette male leads.
3. Striking eye gazes.
4. Yellow and white writing.
5. AND TONS OF WISPY HAIR.

We Need To Take A Minute To Appreciate The Actor Who Played Percy Weasley
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, July 30, 2015
He’s kind of *prefect*.
We all remember Percy Weasley, the lovable and somewhat overzealous oddball of the Weasley family.
He was also a prefect.
Warner Bros.
Much to many readers' chagrin, we didn't see a lot of him in the movies.
Percy the Prefect, where you at?
Warner Bros.
But you know what, it's OK. Blessed are we, because we can STILL appreciate the human perfection of the actor who portrayed him: Chris Rankin.
Will you take a gander at those glorious locks?

And appreciate we shall. Look at this dude, he's a total gem among humans.
