Carry On | 
pick"What you are is a fucking tragedy, Simon Snow. You literally couldn't be a bigger mess." ~ Baz
I admit I was a bit skeptical about #CarryOn because I mostly skimmed the Simon Snow parts in Fangirl but this book surprised me in the best way possible. I fell for Simon & Baz so hard, and I just couldn't stop reading. ?????
I'm so happy #WaywardSon is coming out soon - I need more #Snowbaz! ?

My favorite ya books. Actually some of my favorite books of all time. I have been obsessed with books since I was a child. I loved Judy Blume and the weekly readers my mom ordered for me that came to the house regularly. #24in48 #hour30challenge
pickThis novel I could not put down. Rainbow Rowell is a fantastic author. Carry on is the perfect book for anyone who enjoyed Harry Potter or any magical story as a kid. The novel includes mythical and magical concepts and makes them exciting and new for a YA audience. Throughout the novel the characters make intriguing discoveries about themselves that leave you wanting to know more!
Trying to make this weekend as relaxing as possible. My back stopped aching, but I‘ve battled a headache for days and I woke up in the wee hours of the morning with a horrible sore throat. Now to just relax outside with a pup and read while my cat meows like crazy inside.
pickI absolutely loved this book. i wasn‘t sure what to think of it when i first started but i quickly got immersed into the world and fell madly in love with the characters. i stayed up all night finishing this book, not a dull moment and i‘m devastated i have to wait until september for the sequel. there‘s a moment at the end where Into My Arms by Nick Cave plays and i played it as i read and it was a whole thing🖤🌙😭 #fangirling
"he and my mother are bound together in five dimensions "
-that's lovely
"I'm going to make time stop when I propose to Micah"
-my mother hung the moon ?
Flour decided to walk all over my book and scratch at the pages. The first page of chapter 39 has a scratch through it because of her and oddly enough I‘m ok with it.

My week keeps getting worse. They found a nail in my tire yesterday, which thankfully could be repaired. Today, however, I managed to hurt my back while brushing my teeth. 🤦🏻♀️ I don‘t recommend coughing and brushing at the same time. It hurts. So my evening is now down to sitting in my chair with a heating pad and book.
My week has started out quite shitty (pardon my language). I was on my way to work and my tire pressure light came on saying my rear right tire was at a 7 when it turns out it was my right front that was completely flat. So now I‘m at Sears getting it fixed or changed. Not entirely sure it can be fixed which is how I did not want to start my day.

so-soI wasn‘t as over the top with this book as I had hoped. Don‘t get me wrong; I finished it, and I didn‘t ::mind:: reading it, but it wasn‘t something I fell in love with.
This is the kind of quality stuff you get when I write my thoughts and notes IN the book for the first time ever! #amreading #CarryOn @rainbowrowell
I bought a paperback copy of #CarryOn just for the purpose of highlighting and adding my own notes. This is the first time I've EVER done such a thing... I feel so bad that I have to buy another paperback so that copy can remain pristine!
I cant wait for #WaywardSon
pickI finished this book earlier this week.
I always wondered what to read first. Carry On or Fangirl. But advice from a friend whom I borrowed Carry On and Fangirl, I started with Carry On.
Anyone who hasn't read either or I strongly suggest reading Carry On before Fangirl.
A fantasy world that makes you at first lost in translation, but fixes it. As you go in an adventure
Also a perfect read for pride month 😊
pickI wasn‘t sure about this in the beginning. It is so different from the rest of Rainbow Rowell‘s other books and very much a Harry Potter wanna be. However, reading Fangirl first and thinking of Cath writing it really helped. I love the Simon and Baz dynamic. 4.5 ✨
omg omg omg✨✨✨✨ ok so i‘ve read mixed reviews on this one but i have a feeling i‘m going to love it, i‘m a big fanfic reader (specifically drarry) so i‘m beyond curious to see how this reads, i love the cover art/concept
Today was my library‘s annual book sale and I told myself I was going to be good. However, since it is the last day of the sale they really wanted to see everything go so it was $5 for as many books as you could fit in a wine box. 😬 (And then Simcoe, my cat, claimed my stack after I arrived home. 😹
pickWell this was a re-read, but I got the audiobook after seeing the author post that the narrator is playing king George in Hamilton on Broadway 🙀 No regrets, I love the book even more now that I‘ve listened to it. Argh. So good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Happy Friday! I decided my weekend reading should be all YA/middle grade. A few are library books, and the rest I‘ve had on my shelves for quite some time now.
Finally getting to this one!
pickWith this reread, I met my yearly #GoodreadsChallenge!🎉100 books!📚💕
I definitely enjoyed this more the second time around. Baz and Simon‘s dramatic relationship is deliciously overwrought. (As any #Slytherdore ship should be!) Agatha annoyed me the first time through, but I found a new appreciation for her this time. And Penny is still 100% wonderful!
I can‘t wait for Wayward Son to come out 9/24! (The day after my birthday!🤫😆)
panI think this may be my last Rainbow Rowell. I went into this novel with mixed feelings about her and it did nothing to dispel them. The first half of the book felt to me like reading well done HP fanfic, and even after the characters took on a life of their own and I got into the story I wasn‘t blown away.
pickThis book far exceeded my expectations! Loved it! It was a bit of a slow starter, but once it got going I couldn‘t put it down. And honestly it tickles me that this is fictional fan fiction that started off as a plot point in another book and now it has a life of its own. I‘m definitely excited for the sequel. I‘d read the phonebook if it was written by Rainbow Rowell.
I‘ve been outside almost all day. It‘s 84 degrees and just beautiful out! Life is so good right now. 🍓📖☀️
1. The Wicked King had me like 😍😖🤔😳🤯🤬😱
2. Always and Forever, Laura Jean has me like 🤢😴🥴😡
3. Excited for the next Simon Snow book, Wayward Son. I tagged the first book.
4. My goal is to rad at least 15 hours a month. I‘m doing well if you count audio books and terrible if you don‘t. 😂
5. I‘m going to tag @Kaciecalderon to give her something to do.
I want to keep reading, but I really need to get some sleep. 😴💤 Goodnight, Littens.

Arya is napping, and Colby is happy to sit with me while I read. Maybe just because he‘s hoping to get some of my pink drink, but whatever. 😉💖

This is my tentative tbr pile for this month with Carry On and City of Brass being my first reads this month. I also uploaded a booktube video on this pile

As a fan of Fangirl, I can‘t believe that I haven‘t read this one yet. I‘ve decided now is the time to start. And as it‘s the beginning of pride month, I feel like it‘s really appropriate. 🏳️🌈❤️🧡💛💛💙💜

Oh! Also shoutout to my girl @That-Bookish-Hiker for the awesome bookmark I got from her Etsy shop!
pick3.5 stars 🌟 Buddy read this with my sister! I enjoyed this book so much. However I feel like it is unnecessary long & the ending is meh. I guess I expect a different kind of ending. But I still enjoy Simon and Baz story in this book. Have you read this book? What are your thoughts? 💭
Hey guys! I started a bookstagram if anyone wants to follow me on there 😊 I‘ll of course follow back!
Love my Simon and Baz minifigs. I bought stuff and used some pieces I already had. Legos + Rainbow Rowell are two of my favorite things!!
Reading now. I hope this one so good as the others
so-soI was much less invested in the fanfic than in the story of the young woman who was supposed to write it
AHHHH one of my favorite books from last year has a sequel coming out and the premise sounds soooooo good.
pick🌟🌟🌟🌟
#librarybook
I finished with a few hours to spare! 😂
pickYou ever read a book so fast you have to go back and reread it to savor the story? Yeah, just me then. I flew through this beauty in a night, thanks to the relationship between Baz and Simon. The magical elements sometimes feel like background noise to the central relationship arc, and that works for me. I would definitely call this a Romance with fantastical elements than a fantasy with romantic elements. #willreadagain #carryon #romcom
