Seeing as this week's theme is making nerdfighter notes, these are a few notes I plan to be slipping into a couple John Green books. Mine are primarily for people who aren't a part of the community.
1. HEY THERE.
You may be picking this book up because you don't know the story and you think the cover is interesting. You may be picking this book up because you've read a book by John Green previously, and because of this, I think you just might be a Nerdfighter. If you are then HELLO! DFTBA FELLOW NERDFIGHTER.
If you aren't then I would like to say hello and tell you that you would probably fit into our marvelous community and that you should absolutely check out the Vlogbrothers on YouTube, one of whom happens to be the author of this very book. Come join the fun, new person! DFTBA, which means Don't forget to be awesome. It's something of a motto for us.

2. (For The Fault In Our Stars, swing set advertisement scene)
You will never look at swing sets the same way. I know I don't.
All swings seem to be vaguely pedophilic when you think about it.
3. (Last line of TFiOS)
I know you're crying, I was too, and no matter how many times you reread this book and scene and knowing what will happen, you probably won't be able to not. I know I still can't. The feelings this book can invoke in a person are incredible. And then there was that turn with Van Houten, oh wow. This book is made of awesome and I think by now you would agree, and you know what? You're probably made of awesome too.
You should go share the feels with our awesome community of Nerdfighters. Just Google DFTBA.com and you'll begin to learn what we have and watch John Green and his brother Hank Green on YouTube to really see what they're about and learn about the community.

4. Don't freak out, it's normal to find a note in a John Green book. It's actually very fun for many of us to find notes in these books, it means we've made a connection to another person who is pretty awesome. I've just connected to you and you've just connected to me, you've also just connected to a vast and brilliant community of awesome so that must mean you're pretty awesome yourself.
Just search for Nerdfighters, you might just find you are one yourself.
