While You’re Waiting For This, Check Out One of These…

I’m a huge fan of John Green’s books and a little geeky about John Green in general.  I’m certainly not the only person who feels this way: NPR just released a list of the Best Young Adult Novels and he’s in the Top 100 five times.  If you’ve already read everything John Green has written or just happen to be waiting for a copy of The Fault in Our Stars, you might consider checking out one of these.  What do you recommend?
