Well its Friday again and, like all other Friday's, that means its time for another book blog. Today's topic: Science Fiction. But first, let me just remind you all that "Let it Snow" is blurbing book club book for the rest of December, so go ahead and read, discuss and blurb it.
Nerdfighter Review:
This weeks review comes from, Clover, who choose to read/review "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. She ha… Continue
Before I get started with the regularly scheduled book blog can I just see a show of hands of those of us who will be balloon hunting tomorrow. *raises hand* I hope you all raised your hands, but if you didn't and you don't know what I'm talking about click here and let Hank explain it to you.
Okay, now back to book related things. I'm going to keep today's post fairly short for two reasons; 1) in my IRL life I'm in the mi… Continue
In which John shaves his Movember beard (into a Very Creeper Mustache) while discussing the political, social, and economic situations in Pakistan. Also, there is some discussion of Hank's forthcoming blenderized Target punishment. Continue
Happy Friday, Nerdfighters! (sorry, I was watching FlawedArtist before). I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday or a wonderful Thursday if your not in America. But back to what's important, books. A couple of weeks ago I started requesting Young Adult book reviews from fellow Nerdfighters and a couple of you complied. Before I get into those reviews let me just mention that the next Nerdfighter reviews will be for Science Fiction books (not Fantasy, that will probably come later s… Continue
This Machine Pwns n00bs (and re-released shirts) available at http://dftba.com/shop/categories/Music/Hank-Green/
In which John discusses Hank's impending punishment in the context of Thierry Henry's hand ball in the lead-up to a goal in Ireland and France's World Cup Qualifier. (I am not a die-hard Ireland supporter or anything; I just like fair play.) The "Are the new viewers gone yet" is stolen from my hero, Z… Continue
First things first, have you read a good Young Adult Fiction book lately? If you said yes, write a review (about a paragraph... nothing to long) and send it to; drowninginflowers@gmail.com and then I'll compile a blog post with a bunch of nerdfighter reviews. This way you get a variety of opinions and not just my extremely biased opinion.
Also, the blurbing book club is still reading, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey until the end of November. Make sure to read,… Continue
In which Hank shows off some of the spoils of touring and (finally) drops the location for the Seattle show:
Saturday November 21st
The Sunset Hill Community Center
3003 NW 66th St, Seattle WA 98117
6:00 to 9:00 PM Continue
Before I get started with the introduction to nerdfighter books that the title promises I'd like to thank, Wonder Woman 2.0, for presenting the idea for this style post. Now, on to the reviews!
Since this is the first time I've done honest-to-blog reviews I figured what better way to start then with some Nerdfightastic books. Not John's of course, because I'm pretty sure you have either read, or heard of and are planning to read, or currently reading, or have opted not to read John's books. Ins… Continue
Hello again, Nerdfighters! Today I'm going to try something a little bit different. Instead of talking about one major book related issue, I'm going to talk about a couple minor ones. Now, without further ado, your weekly book news.
On Monday the New York Times posted an intriguing article about The Onion, a popular online news source.… Continue
Hello again Nerdfighters, you guessed it, its another book Friday. Today we're going to talk about eBook's and Kindle's and Twitter book's? Yup... that's right, there's going to be a Twitter book.
Well, kinda. No one is writing a book on Twitter, sorry to get your hopes up like that and then destroy them so suddenly. But a book is going to be Tweeted over the course of three days! This project is going to be done by Rick Moody, the article doesn't say to much about him aside from the fact that… Continue
Hello again, Nerdfighters!
Just as the title suggests we're going to be talking about NaNoWriMo today. I know a fair amount of you already know about NaNoWriMo and quite possibly participated in it before, but there's also a fair amount of Nerdfighters who have no clue what I'm talking about.
Let's start with the definition;
Na = National
No = Novel
Wri = Writing
Mo = Month
Put it all together and what does it spell? (sorry, I couldn't help myself). That's right it spells, National Novel Wri… Continue
Hello again, its Friday, which means, I get to talk about books again!
Today I think I'll focus around the Nerdfighters Gazette, a newspaper started by and run by Nerdfighters. The idea is pretty self-explanatory, its a newspaper, it reports the hard hitting news, feature stories, editorials and more. In addition, Nerdfighters like yourself who aren't writing for the paper full time, can still contribute to the paper by sending in stories or artwork or even just sending in questions for the adv… Continue
Woohoo, its Friday once again, meaning I'm back for another book blog (a sicker, colder version of me, but me nonetheless). Today I want to make sure your all aware of a really awesome nerdfighter project, the Guide to Nerdfighting.
The guide started as a simple forum that YAY Karolina started (which is why I was somewhat hesitant about blogging about it since I'm not the forum ningmaster), but then it turned into a group. And since there is no group ningmaster and since it is a book, it is cle… Continue
I'm not gonna lie, I just spent a good ten minutes typing and retyping my first sentence. There's something about writing a post specifically for the main page that is just a little bit intimidating. Exciting, yes... but also intimidating.
But anyways, I'm Tenley Nadine (obviously) and I'm the new book ningmaster. I suppose I should give you a better idea of who I am. I'm 18 years old and a freshman in college (English major, concentrating on creative writing) and an aspiring novelist. More imp… Continue
