i love snowbaz
necesito más de esta pareja.
amo a baz,y me encanta el romance que tiene con Simón,en más de un momento termine llorando e igualmente emocionada cayendome de la cama.
penny me cae bien pero agatha...yo y agatha no pudimos congeniar,lo lamento.
la historia me encanto y me sumergí de llenó en ella.
♡♡♡
Relectura, aún disfrutó a Simón y Baz y su relación

This was so hard to rate. I think it would have been 4 stars if I weren’t such a Harry Potter fan... I kept getting distracted by all the mangled references. The first 1/3 of the book DRAGGED to me, which isn’t great when the book is 500 pages. That said, it was super fun and I sped through it once I finally got over the Harry Potter uncanny valley. Eager to read the next one.

So so good
Here is my review:
I cannot express my feelings towards this book, I loved the hell out of this book!
Simon and Baz are so damn cute together uwu omg like ahhh I cannot contain my thoughts.
Only 1 issue with this ENTIRE book: what happened to Nicodemus? That’s my one and only complaint

I can't even.
Carry On continues and expands from a point made in another of Rainbow Rowell's novels, Fangirl. In Fangirl, sisters Cath and Wren, are obsessed with a series of books about a boy names Simon Snow (The Chosen One) and his adventures at Watford, a magic school. Cath writes fanfiction about the series' two main characters, Simon and Baz. If you haven't read Fangirl, I highly recommend that as well, but it's not necessary to appreciate Carry On.
Rainbow Rowell took that half formed, Harry Potter fanfiction-esque story and injected it with more magic, humor, and teenage angst than you can shake a stick at.
Carry On, was freaking amazing.
If you have ever read Harry Potter, read this book.
If you have ever read HP fanfiction, read this book.
If you have ever written HP fanfiction, read this book.
Honestly, just read this book.
I swear, it's not just for fans of Harry Potter, or of Fangirl, but I definitely thing that loving those things as much as I do, really enhanced how often I squee'd while reading this. This is a thick book, but the very first thing that I wanted to do after reading it was reread it, and I think I probably will later this week. It's that good.
To just give you a slight overview of what to expect, It's Simon Snow's final year at Watford, and his roommate, a snarky, rich boy, (vampire?) Baz, is missing. The Humdrum (a nasty magic stealing super villain) is creating chaos. And Simon's relationship with his girlfriend is on the rocks. His best friend Penny is determined to get to the bottom of all this, and together adventure, romance, magic and pure fucking awesome ensues.
Seriously, I need to reread Fangirl right now because I need to re-experience why Cath and Wren loved this series so much. I sincerely hope that Rainbow Rowell intends to release more books/short stories/flash fiction/ANYTHING about these characters.
Go read this. OMG. Please.
