Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by
Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re
eagerly anticipating.
This week’s pre-publication “can’t-wait-to-read”
selection is:
Carry On
By Rainbow Rowell
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Release date: October 6, 2015
From Goodreads:
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 Thoughts:
I am a
huge Rainbow Rowell fan. I've read all her books, some multiple times. Fangirl
is by far my absolute favorite and I was always curious about the world she
created at Watford School of Magicks. When she announced that she was going to
write Carry On I was beyond excited. Rowell managed to capture my attention
with snippets of the story that were shared in Fangirl; I really wanted to know
more about Simon and Baz.
The
cover is so simple and powerful. I am absolutely in love with it and I can't
wait to receive my copy of this book. This is one of my most anticipated
releases of the year. Carry On will be released on October 6, 2015.

I'm like you I loved Fangirl and the world created for the story inside the story so when she said she was going to give us a full story! Fangirl heaven!
ReplyDeleteWhen she announced this book, lots of squealing and happy dancing might have happened ;)
