### Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at

[Breaking the Spine](http://breakingthespine.blogspot.com/)

, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. My choice this week:

The Fault in our Stars

, by John Green

Publisher: Dutton Juvenile

Release date: January 10, 2012

Well, OF COURSE I'm eagerly anticipating the new John Green novel! He's an amazing writer and an important voice in YA literature. I'm really into contemporary YA fiction right now- a little burned out on paranormal, I have to admit- so I'm compelled by this story of a girl who may be near the end of a long battle with terminal cancer.

I usually steer clear of "dying person" books because they can get maudlin and emotionally manipulative, but I know I can rely on John Green to stay out of Lurlene McDaniel territory. From

The Fault in our Stars

, I expect great dialogue, memorable characters, and a story that will make me laugh and cry.

This book is such a big deal, there are NO ARCs. But my friend Beth over at

[A Foodie Bibliophile in Wanderlust](http://bethsfbtb.blogspot.com/2011/11/giveaway-signed-chapter-sampler-of.html)

is giving away a SIGNED chapter sampler. How awesome is that?!

I'm really looking forward to this book, both for myself and my library teens. I think we're all going to find it a really powerful read.
