Fangirl Moments and My Two Cents
Fangirl Moments and My Two Cents rated it 9 years ago
4.5 starsFor some reason, I did not think I would like this so I've been dodging reading it for awhile. LOVED it. I was feeling meh when I started, but it totally brought me around. I super enjoyed it the entire time. I've seen a lot of comparisons to HP, and it does have that feel several times...

A special thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.I adore Rainbow Rowell. Like I really adore her writing! But...this wasn't my favourite book of hers. I wanted so badly to love it, and parts of it I did, but parts of it, I didn't.The reviews online were positive, but many...

Over the last few years multiple people have recommended Rainbow Rowell to me, but as her books are also classified as YA contemporary (a genre with which I have a complicated relationship to say the least) I had been putting of her books for the time. Not in the least because I feared a repeat of t...

CARRY ON: THE RISE AND FALL OF SIMON SNOW by Rainbow Rowell is a standalone novel, which is linked to her young adult novel FANGIRL. CARRY ON tells the final part of the Simon Snow series which readers of FANGIRL will be familiar with, as the Simon Snow series is the fandom that Cath, the main chara...

For regular readers, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell will cause emotions; tears, laughter and love for each and every character. For readers who have previously read Fangirl-like me-Carry On will destroy you. For a reader who survived on small passages from Carry On, small portions of Simon and Baz at a ...

Have you all read Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl? If not, you need to get on that. Anyhoo, in Fangirl, the main character Cath writes fanfic about this Harry Potter-esque world featuring Simon Snow and Baz. Rowell, in her cheeky brilliance went on to actually write the tale of Simon and Baz. Expressing my...

I reluctantly started Carry On, blinded by the Harry Potter parallels. Very quickly though, it blossoms into a wonderful and completely unique story. I wish that it were 5,000 pages instead of 500.Carry On is filled with humor throughout Simon's quest of self-discovery, which perfectly contrasts the...

4.5 stars for this book! Slow start, good middle, epic ending. I loved, adored, Fangirl by this author (even so much that I have 2 editions (normal hardcover + special pink hardcover (limited edition), and I am hoping to one day also have a signed edition). As you can see, I am a big fangirl for t...

This book was my most-anticipated release of 2015, but I was still nervous about it because the Simon Snow parts of Fangirl seemed so over-the-top ridiculous. It turns out that Carry On is ridiculous, but it’s ridiculous in the most epic way possible. Seriously, this book is over 500 pages, and I ...
