I just finished Wayward Son. I cried through the last few chapters. I can’t believe I grew so attached to these characters, and I wanted so badly for each of them to find happiness.
I feel like Rainbow Rowell has filled a void in my life that R*wling tore away.
Honestly, this did give off vibes of all the 200k long fanfics I’ve read.
Actually Rainbow said Carry on isn't cather's fanfiction, but her own take on the simon snow books if they were gay. So basically it exists: the og simon snow books, cather's fanfiction 7th book, and Rainbow's own books
I was wondering if anyone would bring it up aahah, Im surpised she didn't know because the book says so at the end lmao
@@clayberry24 This was common knowledge to me because i was OBSESSED with Rainbow Rowell and it may be annoying but i always correct people when they read both books and think Carry On is Cath's, just a fact I can't let go of haha
@@grff_ nono, I was HOPING someone would say it! ahah! if I didn't see a comment I was gunna mention it myself! Im glad you're standing up to the storys lore lmao ahah
I absolutely love Rainbow Rowell's dialogue. I am so happy to see a booktuber that loves 'Carry On' as much as I do!!
so good! I was lolling so much
Somehow I had no idea that Carry On was basically a fan fiction! Still really enjoyed it and plan to read the rest of the sequels. Now also intrigued to try Fangirl.
hope you like it if you do give it a try
Loved everything you said about this book, very accurate to how I feel. I would also recommend the audiobook because some of the humor went over my head when reading it on my own but when I listened to the audio with the British accent, it made everything more funny
Great explanation on these books. Also, I Love that you mentioned Galaxy Quest - great project that isn’t just a spoof of Star Trek and has several memorable moments and quotable lines.
omg yes Galaxy Quest is so good
I had Carry On for such a long time but got rid of it bc it didn’t seem like my vibe but the fact that you love it and how you describe the series makes me want to buy it back and actually try it!! I kind of want to read Fangirl to! Great video!
you can always grab it from the library 😋
I never thought that i would read fangirl and then i watched your wrap up and decided ok ill read it.
I read it in a day loved it and bought carry on immediately! Thanks for the rec😘
oh that's wonderful! hooray!
Fantastic job pitching Simon Snow! I love these books and also did not expect to. I read them because they’re my sister’s favorite, but they are now a favorite of mine too!
they were an unexpected delight for us both!
Perfect timing ! I bought copies of two and three after you last gushed about them, and theyve just arrived today (although book 2 had no dusk jacket :( ) Might just need to binge them between chonky fantasy books
woohoo! hope you enjoy!
How did I come into this with ZERO intention to read Carry On or Fan Girl...... and NOW you have me wanting to pick them up because they sound fun lol. I also tend to not really want to pick up things that are pitched as just Fluffly but lately I have been liking those little pallet cleansers more lol I want to know how our Ven Diagram of likes/dislikes keeps overlapping more because I FULLY agree with your opinion on enemies to lovers
muahahaha yaaaaas
I just binge read carry on last night after picking it up a couple weeks ago when I used bookstore. Well I definitely regret the lack of sleep that I got for my opening shift as a manager at a fast food restaurant, I couldn't stop thinking about the book all day and as soon as I got off work I ordered the other two in the trilogy!
I've loved fanfiction for a long time and was very involved in the Harry/Draco shipping community in the mid 2000's so this is literally the perfect book for me!
glad you liked it!
I loved Fangirl back in the day but these Simon Snow books have never interested me. You got me to try the audio from the library😄
The audio is sooooo good! Enjoy!
Fangirl is good because Rainbow Rowell is good! Great writing
That sounds intruiging to me.. thanks for the video! Also, have you ever tried reading a danmei? It sounds to me like you could find some themes you might like there. Like how you thought you wouldn'd like Carry on but ended up making this video about it😊🎉
I really liked the first one…. I was bored starting the second one and didn’t push through. I’ll have to give it another try.
the second one is weakest one imo but I still had a good time reading it
I had no idea Carry On was connected to Fangirl when I read it and I loved it. I love the trilogy. Maybe I should read Fangirl.
Fangirl was an unexpected delight - give it a go!
Fiiiiiiiine! I'll read it! 😁
hooray!
I don't know what to say to any of this besides: I love Carry On. I could talk about the way ALL KINDS of different traumas were handled in these books. abandonment, self loathing, parental abuse...
I really enjoyed the Simon snow series 💯🙂 and I have read fangirl I like it
yay!
Will be reading Carry On for 73658201th time 😅
woohoo!
i also love rainbow rowells humour so much hahaha ive never found a funnier author :'-) mhairi mcfarlane gets close for me (although she is a romance writer, no fantasy. and is funny in quite a british way, although she does snark similarly to rowell i think )
Carry On was one of my all time favorite books, I found it very smart, but then Wayward Son was so bad it ruined the whole thing for me. I still read Any Way the Wind Blows, and although it was better than Wayward Son, I already forgot everything that happen the day after I finished it. So I personally only recommend the first one. It was not intended to be a standalone for nothing.
I really enjoyed all three, though I'd agree WS is the weakest one, but I think I enjoyed it more than you did
I cant get over a magic school thing being called “watford”.
I love Simon.
not Baz?
To be fair I have a six foot Baz cut out in my home that I put up when I'm on vacation. Soo I love them both.
@@lovelyflowergirl42 OMG I saw that in the shop but it’s sold out 😅
I do own Carry On because I am always on the hunt for good Male Male romances in fantasy...I'm more excited that the most critical reviewer I watch likes it hahaha
the most critical reviewer? omg I'm honored 🤧
@@LienesLibrary haha youre welcome 💀🤣
no, HP's definetly better.. i DO love SS though
She couldn't find another Kansas lyric for the title of the third book? That's just lazy.
LOL when i saw the third one I actually wondered if I'd been wrong about assuming they were named after the Kansas song but no, confirmed, they are in fact named after those songs 😂
@@LienesLibrary And here I was thinking about picking up her She-Hulk comic. Nope, not giving someone like that any of my money.
I just have one question. Do the 2 main characters get attracted and enter into a legit gay relationship or is the entire book just ‘oh he is so attractive’ and ohh he’s so hot and endless angst? I hope 🤞 there is plenty cutesy gay romance stuff🥺🥺
it's more of a "will they won't they" in the first one, because they are still in the "enemies" phase of the enemies-to-lovers for a good chunk of it, but books 2 and 3 definitely have them fully together together in every sense
The answer is ‘No’.
The answer is yes
