"Waiting On" Wednesday #7: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

By -

We are so freaking excited about this book in this house! Okay... no... if you have not read Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and totally fangirled over Simon and Baz than I feel for you. The experience is one you're definitely missing out on and for a geek-nerd book lover like me, that's saying a lot! Especially if you ever read Harry/Draco fanfiction and adored that ship. What am I talking about... if you read Fangirl and longed desperately to read Simon and Baz's story than this book is a must read!




DETAILS:
  • Title: Carry On
  • Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
  • Publishing date: October 6, 2015
  • Author(s): Rainbow Rowell
  • Series: Probably too meta to call it Fangirl fanfiction... but something like that.

SYNOPSIS:
Rainbow Rowell continues to break boundaries with Carry On, an epic fantasy following the triumphs and heartaches of Simon and Baz from her beloved bestseller Fangirl.

Simon Snow just wants to relax and savor his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest, and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he’ll be safe. Simon can’t even enjoy the fact that his roommate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can’t stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you’re the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savor anything.

Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story — but far, far more monsters.

      My daughter and I have been longing for this story since we finished Fangirl. It is so exciting that she decided to do their story. Yeah... can't wait either!

      Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. If you follow me on Goodreads, you'll know I'm about 21 books behind my goal of reading 100 books this year. No pressure! None, right? Anyone else panic when they log onto Goodreads or feel awfully proud when they're going on to write a review? That's me lately, LOL!  --> An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir --> Lock & Mori by Heather Petty --> Cress by Marissa Meyer --> Attachments by Rainbow Rowell --> Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell --> Half Wild by Sally Green --> Jackaby by William Ritter --> Read Between the Lines by Jo Knowles --> The DUFF by Kody Keplinger   --> My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories edited by Stephanie Perkins

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. So there's a lot of overlap with this list and the beach reads from a couple of weeks ago. However, I did already get Jackaby and Throne of Glass books off the list. Do hope to get more reviews written... and I'm a Percy Pack blogger for Fangirlish so it's going to be a lot of fun over there if you want to check out the special posts for the 10th Anniversary celebration of that series.  To All the Boys I Loved Before by Jenny Han P.S.

#TopTenTuesday: Ten Authors I AutoBuy

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. First list that was really easy for me to put together. However, I fear that my choices are beginning to sound like a broken record. Have any of you noticed the same names tend to show up every week? Rainbow Rowell has not written one thing that I have not fallen in love with nearly immediately. So yeah, anything and everything... I own all her books including the anthologies she has written for and will continue to buy her books unabashedly. Garth Nix is most excellent and I have adored him for a very, very long time. He has written one of my favorite heroines - Sabriel! My daughter and son adore his books as well which makes him a fantastic addition to this list. Jonathan Stroud snuck up on me. I had read the Bartimaeus trilogy but then he released an eerie middle grade series - Lockwood & Co. Such a very fun, spooky read but great mystery series wit...
