Nerd Fighter <3

Since we are talking about Will Grayson, Will Grayson this will. I feel compelled to write about his awesome blog that he shares with his brother Hank Green. Together they have a terrific blog called “Nerdfighters”

This is blog is about John Green’s new book.. and I have already pre-ordred, and he is signing one of my books in the background.

Enjoy!

 Being a theatre person, my first predictable unintelligent reaction was kill who? but then as I read on, I was pleasantly surprised. Imagine Othello, King Richard III, Hamlet, Juliet, Falstaff, even the three witches from Macbeth, and many more of Shakespeare's fictional characters from several timeless plays… Imagine all these characters from the 16th century brought […]
