BLURB:

Simon Snow is the worst chosen one who’s ever been chosen.

That’s what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he’s probably right.

Half the time, Simon can’t even make his wand work, and the other half, he sets something on fire. His mentor’s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there’s a magic-eating monster running around wearing Simon’s face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here—it’s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon’s infuriating nemesis didn’t even bother to show up.

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.

How to Get out of a Book Slump

For a bookworm, one of the worst things that can happen is to suddenly fall into a book slump.

Book slumps are sporadic and they have their ways of lingering for a long period of time.

So how do we get rid of them?

These are my ways of dealing with book slumps. If you want to share your own, feel free to do so in the comments!

Book Haul | Tinker Bell is Tiger Lily?

Good morning to all of you!

This month, I have a lot of lovely reads ahead of me. I actually already read Of Beast and Beauty, and will post the review soon, but the other books are very anticipated reads for me.

Have you already read any of the books in my haul? Which ones did you like, which ones did you dislike or hate? Is there a particular one I should read ahead of the others?

I feel like this is going to be an amazing reading month. *crossed fingers*
