Petition to put self care bunny back in the doobly doos of the videos because I miss that.

I agree.

"Anatomists are so bad at naming" you have no idea John it is a NIGHTMARE to learn
My physiology prof makes fun of anatomists on the daily for this exact reason haha
:( - Anatomists
It is easier to remember those names if you know the literal meaning of those words. They are generally latin, greek or both. Otherwise, they have a fascinating history attached to it (only if you have time to read it).
***** Let alone John, I didn't even know that and I passed my anatomy exam, haha.
Bucky Barnes YES YOU FEEL MY PAIN
I am actually allergic to carrots. Thanks for thinking of me, self care bunny!
PoisonTheOgres I feel your pain, I'm allergic to most fruit, carrots, and celery. At least the positivity bunny applies to us most other days!
+
Grace Chaple that seems terrible as a person who loves those foods :(
PoisonTheOgres Where did Self-care Bunny come from?
PoisonTheOgres I'm allergic too! Do you have OAS? (Oral allergy syndrome)
How on earth does The John Green have time to read so many books?
I think reading is like any practice; you find more time for it as you do more of it. But I actually feel like I don't spend nearly enough time reading, especially since we've had kids. -John
vlogbrothers +
vlogbrothers Thank you for, a few years ago, recommending To Say Nothing of the Dog. It is to this date my favourite work of historical or science fiction. Thank you.
that is a fantastic answer
+
Where can I find more self-care bunny? Every Google search I make yields no relevant results.
Self-care bunny only lives inside the end screen! -John
***** I guess I'll have to watch all of your videos, bummer ;)
why bummer? that's one of the smartest things you can do with your free time. :)
Hands up if you get a deep anxiety when presented with new books to read because nothing makes you feel quite mortal like realizing there are so many good books out there to read and you will die before reading the vast majority of them.
And this is coming from a "Hank" on the contemplating my own mortality scale.
I feel the same with
-Movies
-Anime
-TV series
-Books
-places I can visit, with the money I currently make.(currently one of my life goals is to visit every state in the US along with D.C, Guam and Porto Rico, of which I am currently 2/5 0/1 0/1 0/1 finished with)
I feel the same about most things but instead of doing them I kinda just shut down and do things familiar to me, and yes I do realize the irony of this.
Speaking of the sternum, does Iron Man have one? This has been bothering me for a while. Wouldn't the arc reactor that was embedded in his chest be occupying the same space as the sternum? How could such an issue be resolved using explanations featuring realistic science fiction? Also, how would having such a piece of technology attached to you not basically count as having a permanently open wound?
I've always just assumed (yes, I've assumed this) that the outer layer of the implant seen in a scene in the first movie, the one in which the arc reactor plugs, is holding a chunk of the sternum's body in each half. If you go watch some open heart surgeries you'll see patients survive with a sawed in half sternum just fine before the stitches on their hearts can be removed, maybe it hurts, but it seems plausible under superhero logic.
Also not a matter anymore since he healed the hole in his chest in Iron Man Three.
I'm very excited for the Project for Awesome! My favorite time of the year.
I'm a simple man. I see "Human Sternum" in the title, I click.
I ADORE The Raven Cycle and if you haven't read it the bonus is that all the books are out so you can binge gloriously without a year or so in between drinks. Amazing books. One of the things I love about it is how the characters react and interact. It struck me, partway through the first book, that these characters weren't acting like characters but acting like humans. It's a little less clean cut. A little more changeable. It felt like I remembered relationships and feelings I'd had that were similar. I found it utterly, breathtakingly good. And if you like horses you should also check out one of Maggie's other books called The Scorpio Races.
A Thing? I love a thing. Give me more things.
Hurray he is writing a Thing
Thank you Self-Care Bunny, for keeping in mind those of us who are allergic to carrots.
No way, are you actually allergic to carrots? Is it carrots specifically or are you allergic to a range of produce?
DrEnzyme A lot of fresh fruits and veggies, actually.
Lydi@ I understand the weird food allergies thing. You have my empathy.
You must have to get creative with your meals... Strawberries, please tell me you can have strawberries?
DrEnzyme Nope. Nor banana, kiwi, or uncooked coconut
I lost my job on Monday, and I was planning on donating this year. Needless to say, I will not be able to make a money donation, and I am sorry about that, but I will watch the videos being uploaded for PFA.
I'm really sorry to hear that you lost your job, and I hope it is soon replaced by a better one. In the meantime, please know that you don't have to donate to participate in the p4a, and that your votes at projectforawesome.com and watching of p4a videos is TREMENDOUSLY important to the success of the project. -John
+
+
i am so sorry to hear that. may a better one be on it's way to you!
You deserve so much better. I hope that you're exceedingly fortunate in finding something new in the near future... and in the meanwhile, thank you just for sticking around with all of us and being awesome.
an ember in the ashes and the raven cycle are some of my favorite books at the moment I got so excited when you recommended them
Oh it has just been 3 minutes, in that case I will be back a few hours later for the comments
+
Are you back?
+
I think he died =(
Rest in pieces.
To anyone who is on the fence about reading any of the books on this list: When John said this was his book recommendation video, I opened the notes app on my phone so I could write them all down. That's how good John Green's book recommendations are. He hasn't steered me wrong once.
I've been in a reading slump for over a month, but your book suggestions have me all excited to get books from the library again!
John I really, really like that you post about your favorite books each year!
JOHN YOU SHOULD BE ON GOODREADS I'D LOVE TO FOLLOW YOUR REVIEWS
this is the earliest I've ever watched a video after release
Gah. I just bought my mom some boring soap instead of that book about microbes! You're a few days too late! Maybe I'll just steal the soap...
Alanna R. +
IS HE WRITING ANOTHER BOOK
He has been writing another book for a long time. :) But this will be the first time I've released a significant chunk of new writing in....several years. -John
+vlogbrothers 😁😁 Great newzzz
this is truly awesome :)
When John starts with a third person pronoun and proceeds to switch to a first person pronoun halfway through the sentence... Facepalm.
Not everyone's a natural Caesar.
Which is ... a good thing. :D
just laughed for 5 minutes with your awsume pronunciation of xiphoid process. :-D it was just cute.
I will remind you people that mispronouncing things IS MY THING. ;) -John
Wait... Hang on just a god damn minute! Who the eff is Hank?!
Hank is one of a number of hardy hybrid grape cultivars produced by the prolific breeder Nels Hansen at South Dakota State University.

Not going to label it click bait, but in the time between seeing the video title and watching I've sat here trying to figure out what is exactly like the human sternum.
I mean, I don't think any video entitled "Exactly Like the Human Sternum" can be considered clickbait, unless there is a subculture of sternum fans I'm unaware of. (I just didn't know what to call it.) -John
It might sound weird, but I solely clicked because of the sternum...really, but then I got new reading material out of it :)
Bait or not, I took the hook and I'm glad I did. Another great video from you guys!
0:01
I had clicked and got side tracked with work for 10 or so minutes, but I appreciate the timestamp.
I WANT SELF-CARE BUNNY POSTERS!!!
Joanne Hunter That'd be so great - a kitchen self care bunny for healthy eating poster, a bathroom self care bunny for those thing and a bedroom self care bunny for quiet reflective and r n r time 😁

Just finished reading Hannah Hart's "Buffering" about 10 minutes ago. I would like to say that it is inspiring, touching, joyful, and real and that everyone will get something out of it. Also, I cried at the end.
Yes! Got Sapiens next to me right now. Just started reading it for the second time after first picking it up last year and not putting it down until it was done. It's really engaging and tackles subjects that any human being should be thinking about.
Project for Awesome will be a perfect way of calming down after my dentist appointment. I can't wait!! So great.
You should read the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
supershinigami1 I legit just finished the first book.
Reya K Keep going. Every single one is so good.
Also if you enjoy that series I highly recommend The Wheel of Time series
xMasterxRazorx Thank you! I surely will check it out.
Holy shit it's 14 parts.
I'm so excited for project for awesome this year!
Sapiens was amazing, informative and also thought-provoking.
Did anyone else go "me!" when John said quirky and delightful friend?
And Fun Science by Charlie McDonnell (Charlie is so cool like)
*Excited for P4A!* >:D Anyone else?
viktorayy :D Me!!
So excited!!
+ Me too!
Eff Yeah! P4A!
viktorayy :D sooooooo excited!! My bf & I took off work Friday & well be staying in all weekend!! :D
Self-care bunny is about my favorite thing.
Mine too. -John
Eating carrots as we speak.
A+++ self care. -John
Raina Ramsay eating cake at the moment, but it's carrot cake so it still counts, right?
I love the project for awesome! I'm glad that we band together and do things for others. Also, thanks for the book recommendations. I'm a voracious reader and I can't ever get enough
I was really disappointed as a kid to find out the Underground Railroad wasn't an actual underground railroad. I didn't quite understand the logistical problems of trying to build a major piece of infrastructure spanning the United States while also breaking the law.
I have such a conflict with reading, I'd love to do it but it just takes so much time
Zack Jiang you should try audiobooks! I get mine for free from overdrive
Audiobbooks are really great, with the right player you can even speed up parts.
Start with graphic novels and short books or stories of around 100 pages and then slowly increase the number of pages and you'll get there. Also, perhaps even more importantly, find a book that you're really intrigued about and invested in what happens next that you won't even notice how long it is, because the time will just fly by while you're reading it. :)
SerenityReceiver Yep, I used to be a huge reader but when I went to college, i didn't have the time anymore. Audio books to listen to during my commute, while I'm driving, doing laundry, etc has really increased the amount of books "read". I just finished Ready Player One (at nerdfighters' recommendation!) and Felicia Day's memoir-both excellent.
If you want something shorter to read, I'd second John's recommendation of Binti.
I LOVE John book recommendations!
Hi John! Such wonderful news about Yuval Harari's book. I took a class of his in Jerusalem. I am so happy that his book that you mentioned was finally translated into English because it is amazing and I was always upset that I couldn't recommend it to my friends in the US (or anywhere outside of Israel) because it was in Hebrew.
No anatomists are wonderful at naming names like the body are a gift from heaven on an anatomy final
Hi, John and everyone else! I've read Nicola Yoon's first book "everything everything" and that is one of my favorite books that I've read this year. But I was looking through everything everything at target and it had a preview for her next book "the sun is also a star" and I forgot about it until now! Thanks! And for fellow nerdfighters looking for a YA fiction book, I'd recommend "None of the above" by I. W. Gregorio. It's about a girl named Kristin who during her senior year, discovers she isn't male or female (that is the only way I wanted to tell you without giving too much away) and I could barely put it down!
Ted Chiang! Yaaaas!!
I loved the RUclips-read version of "Understand."
But but but but......The Sellout!! :P It's Ah Ma Zing.
I recommended Beatty's The White Boy Shuffle in last year's holiday roundup. I think The Sellout is probably a better novel--it's certainly painted on a much bigger and more ambitious canvas--but I still love WBS more, probably because of my love for coming-of-age stories. -John
This is to Hank. If you ever do another joke video, I have one. Two scientists walk into a bar. The first one says, "Can I have H20?" the second one says, "I'll have H202." The second one dies. We haven't posted anything yet, but my two friends and I have a youtube channel, it's called the FNA (Fantastic Nerd Association (It's not a real association, we're in sixth grade))
*Adds 12 books to my goodreads shelf* Thanks for the recommendations!
Now if only I could get the people who are going to buy me presents to get these books instead of whatever terrible idea they're thinking of....
Question for you John: watching your videos, here and on Crash Course, it seems most experts in most fields are terrible at naming things.
What profession, would you say, is full of people who are EXCELLENT at naming things?
Novelists. :) -John

***** Oh you.

This video was so packed with information, i had to watch it 3 times before i got all the info absorbed in my brain.
i love the self care bunny. i want a book full of self care bunnies
unoccupied Me too :3
Gabriela Centurion Neumann it actually makes me feel so much better about myself. it's the cutest little pick-me-up :3
unoccupied Agreed :)

I'm loving all four "firsts".
yes yes yes! read The Raven Cycle! it is so gosh darn incredible.
The fundraiser is now LIVE. So many amazing perks and every dollar you donate counts as FOUR DOLLARS, which will shared by Save the Children and Partners in Health. Perks include new writing from me (the first new writing I've shared in several years!), TFIOS movie commentary from Sarah and me, p4a shirts, tote bags, socks, and more! www.indiegogo.com/projects/project-for-awesome-2016-youtube#/
Help I'm trying to buy from Indiegogo and they don't have a way to entry an APO address (military families living overseas)!!
did you try putting NY in as the state? a lot of sites will process with that in place of AE/AP/etc. you might want to check with info@projectforawesome.com to see if the free shipping will still apply to you. good luck!
Yeah that digital bundle was too good to pass up, donated way more than I probably otherwise would have haha
Oh god nothing makes you feel old like realizing you've been watching Vlog Brothers since way before PFA was a thing. And I'm not even that old.
That video from the HPA, "How To Make A Kickbutt Project For Awesome Video" is really entertaining! I'd only heard of the Harry Potter Alliance occasionally on Vlogbrothers but now I'm certain that they're good people!
I just recently read a book about the History of Autism, "Not Even Wrong" by Paul Collins. So wonderful! READ IT.
Fun Fact! If you perform CPR too low down the sternum (it's supposed to be performed around the body of the sternum), the xyphoid process will snap off, point inwards, and repeatedly stab the victims organs as you try to restart their heart! Isn't learning fun?
Ugh... John has 12 recommend books, meanwhile, I've only read like 4 this year...
I read nearly 40 books a year...yes I'm in school...and yes, I do not have my priorities straight
One thing I really like about working in a book store, I have at least heard of all those books. But also I have personally sold most of those books.
Wait a minute- john keeps avoiding the word "book" and i thought it was some weird thing about how it's not a book yet and he doesn't want to use that word but WHAT IF WHAT HE'S WRITING ISNT A BOOK
But let's be honest John, the most important news of the year must be that AFC Wimbeldon comeback!!
SERIOUSLY Textbook is such a great book. I happen to have heard Amy reading a selection from the book at a show a couple week back that I was filming for a documentary without having heard about her or the book before. GO READ THAT BOOK.
Agreed. -John
All I heard was 15 pages from a thing you're working and I'm excited. YAS!
I want John's thing!
...he said, aware that context is everything.
Helen Oyememi is awesome. I read a book of hers last summer called Boy, Bird, Snow that was really good. All those other books look awesome too. Can't wait for the Project for Awesome, and DFTBA.
I can't be the only selfish person who took note of the book list to read for themselves rather than as Christmas presents, right?
Me too! But I consider buying books from independent bookstores a gift for the world, even if they're for myself. ;)
John, I just realized I subconsciously bought similar glasses to yours.
The Xiphoid Process is a band actually. Just checked on Spotify
The Human Microbiome is an in your face example of the interdependence of all life on earth. We can turn our backs on nature and try to supplant it with technology but we can never escape the realities of our physical existence.
I look forward to checking-out the fiction recommendations, but how do we know that we're still not "animals of no significance"? -Ryan
Well, we are certainly able to make a significant impact on the biosphere. So that's something. :-/ -John
Is going to be nice having some good in the world to focus on.
I was not ready for the book suggestions!!! Literally ran for a notepad and a pen aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!! lol I loved an ember in the ashes so much. I totally forgot that the other book came out... what is life 😩🤔
I made a Goodreads list of all the books above. www.goodreads.com/review/list/12585803-josh-shpayher?shelf=john-green-december-2016
P4A: best time of year to be a Nerdfighter
it wasn't as tho u asked, but my fave YA read recently is Saving Francesca. For some reason I do not know it made my cry Buckets, more than I've ever cried at a book, i think it was just so very relatable to my life. thanks for the recommendations, john, i will check out ember and the star one :)
I was literally eating a carrot when I heart that message from the self-care bunny.
A great sci-fi space opera, coming of age series is the Solar Clipper series, can't remember the author off hand but it's fantastic. I've read it three times and now that I think of it I'm going to go read it again!
Edit: Nathan Lowell - Trader's Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clippers
snocat Nathan Lowell. First book of the series is Quarter Share. Love it!
I'm so excited for this years P4A as it's the first one I've made a video for!!
Yay! I've never made one---maybe next year!
A quick Google search reveals there are several bands named The Xiphoid Process...
I've tried reading chabon's telegraph avenue, and couldn't really get into it, what would be a good starting book for him, I've heard his style is different in each book
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay is a good place to start. -John
Book recommendations are my fav!!!
I LOVE THE RAVEN CYCLE MAGGIE'S MY FAVOURITE AUTHOR (soz john ur close but no maggie and sidenote I was very happy about the combination of you and maggie and fast cars that one time)
OH MAN I read all of Maggie's Raven Cycle books this year myself and CAN CONFIRM WOULD RECOMMEND, SO DAMN GOOD.
(both arms went in the air in celebration when they were mentioned. first books i've really cared about in an awfully long time.)
I LOVE THE RAVEN CYCLE, IT'S MY FAVORITE!!!!...that is all thank you.
(the wolves of mercy falls series is great too.)
2:28 yayy!! John Green just recommended one of my MOST FAVOURITES so its automatically more favourite now :D
How about: ''Rejected Princesses: Tales of History's Boldest Heroines, Hellions, and Heretics'' Look it up. It's amazing!!!
I'm actually going to query Colson whiteheads wife who's a literary agent in order to get my novel published. Probably not gonna hear anything from that query BUT I CAN DREAM DAMN IT.
You should read spice and wolf.
I bought everyone books this year, just none of the books on this list. I tried to curate the books for the particular people, eg; my grandfather was an American History teacher so I got him "The Secret History of the CIA" and my sister is currently going to Yeshiva, so I got her "The Guide to the Perplexed"
YESSSS!! Can't recommend The Raven Cycle enough (don't let the description of the first book turn you off, its more fantasy than romance!)
Thank you! My favorite vlog of the year…your book recommendations! Last year, I bought all of them for our daughter! I think she's through half of them. If only that pesky thing called college wouldn't get in the way of her avid reading for pleasure! Wonder what she's going to get this year… :-)
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR BOOK RECS!!! Yay! Thank you, John!!!!
While driving to pick up my sister from her first semester at college, I listened to the The Fireman, which contains my new favorite protagonist in a sci-fi-esq story. Plus it has dedication to JK Rowling so you can never go wrong.
*another book!!!*
I miss the days when P4A was always on December 17. Mostly because I don't know how I'm going to be ready for December 9.
Oh man! I have to get my P4A video made ASAP.
+
Stop reminding me of the microbes John!! It makes me feel weird.

"SELF-CARE-otts"? HAHA! Ha ha... Ha.
Anyone? ANYONE?
Fine, be that way.
