The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

At last, John Green, author of Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska, and many others, is about to release his latest book: The Fault in Our Stars. Amazingly enough, this novel has been on Barnes & Noble's and Amazon's bestseller list for weeks-- and it doesn't even have a cover yet! Nor is it even complete. You can find the article published about it in the Wall Street Journal here: Tweeting from a La-Z-Boy, An Unfinished Book Hits No. 1.

Nerdfighters, (a term used for those who follow John and his brother Hank's vlogs on youtube), have been designing covers for "TFiOS" since Green announced the title via video. Although there's still a chance Green might hold a cover designing contest, currently all the creativity is just for fun. Here's a link to an abundance of amazing TFiOS covers. And after seeing all these, how could I resist?

I chose a photo from a series I took while walking around my lake a year ago. It's not perfect, and I've certainly seen a lot of better covers out there, but it was still fun to make! I hope you like it!
