My First Post!!

Hi my name is Meg and this is my new blog. This is a class assignment that a few people in my class, and I, and have been set to do. I was a bit stuck on what my blog would be about but I have kind of decided to have it about my life and things I like to do. My first page is called my bookshelf which will be about books that I have read and books I want to read. I will put up photos and reviews if I can be bothered.

I would like to mention a book that I read recently. It is called Carry On and it is one of those books. You know, those books that make you give up on your life for a few days while you read it. I was on holidays down in Perth and my sister bought it. She read the entire book in four hours. She immediately found me and made me read it.

Carry On is a little bit like Harry Potter. I read the first few chapters and was so amazed at how a book could be so similar but also so different at the same time. However, as it progressed I realized it was not at all like Harry Potter. If it was Harry Potter then it would be about Harry and Draco.

Here is the blurb.

Carry On Rainbow Rowell

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.

 

I have not read any other books by Rainbow Rowell but I am looking for them at my local library. I hope that this is an interesting first blog post.
