I love reading. I wouldn't be writing a lit blog if I didn't. When a book is good, it's magic. And sometimes, once or twice a year, I read a book that reminds me why I love reading. A book that makes me gush and cry and laugh and stay up all night reading, not the last bit sleepy, not even considering "I'll read just this chapter and then I'll turn off the light", because it's so good.
"Fangirl" wasn't one of those books. It was ...more

I remember reading a review of this by Becky at Blog of a Bookaholic and I quite liked the idea of the story. When I stood in WHSmith waiting to fly out to Florida in the summer, looking for another book to complete my 3 for 2 offer, I saw this and thought 'why not'?

And then, I carried it to the US and back without reading it and placed it into the dreaded bedside table, where it ultimately became part of my challenge to clear out that book eating piece of furniture.

I really enjoyed Fangirl, no ...more

Spell "RELATE"... I-N-A-H.

Cather likes to write fanfiction and her work, "Carry On, Simon" is one of the most followed fanfics in the whole universe. I have written a fanfiction, myself.

Cath is in college. Like me, except she's a freshman, I'm a junior. I don't have ...more

I loved it. This book is for anyone who has ever been in love with a book, or a series or certain characters while they were growing up and eventually felt like they needed to move on because they were older now. To me, that was the best message in the book. Rainbow Rowell tells us that we're never too old to love books and when we get older, it's still okay to love that book that made such a difference in your life when you were ten years old. ...more

I'm not going to lie. I thought this would be better. Everyone went on and on and on about how fantastic it was and how it was funny and perfect and wonderful, and I guess in some ways it was, but there was something missing from it that I just couldn't get past. I wish I saw what everyone else does... ...more

I have never loved a cute contemporary novel before. As much as I loved the Fault in Our Stars I loved Fangirl so much more! Also, this is the first Rainbow Rowell I have ever read.
