Exclusive: Here's The Cover Of Rainbow Rowell's New Book
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, April 23, 2015
We’ve got an exclusive first look at Rainbow Rowell’s Carry On, which hits shelves in October 2015.
St. Martin's Press
Fans of Rowell will recognize Simon and his world as the focus of the beloved novels that Fangirl's protagonist, Cath, adores. In the book, she's widely known online for the popular fanfiction she writes with her sister about Simon and Baz. Carry On will give readers a much-desired taste of Simon's world.
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.

Posted by Unknown on Thursday, April 23, 2015
The truth has been under our noses all along.
Aside from Voldemort and Malfoy, the Dursley family were Harry Potter's worst enemies in the series.

Which is why Harry was so excited to get his Hogwarts letter and book it out of 4 Privet Drive.
