Oh my goodness, this book. Possibly the one book that I’ve never heard anybody say anything negative about. But, hey, if you didn’t like it, that just makes your opinion much more interesting. So, what did you think? Any prophetic insights?
(Feel free to just talk about how much you loved the book, if you want. As with all posts on this site, I’ll be replying to anyone who wants to discuss!)
I was just reading this post and I saw your comment on how negative things about this book are rare. I gave this book a 3/5 stars because the story was good but Eleanor was just so, so annoying, in my opinion. Now, I don’t even know what it was about her, but I just felt like skipping her part because she got on my nerves. 🙂 Lol this is turning into a rant 😀

Hello! I see you are a new blogger. I started by looking at your most recent post, but chnged my mind and went back to look at older posts first. 🙂 I finished this book yesterday! It was amazing. I assume the words are I love you? Right? 🙂

Not a new blogger, this is just a new site 🙂 Wasn’t this book so great though? Yes, I assumed so, and if anything I wish Rainbow Roweel writes a sequal so we can see the two of them happy together forever 😀

Hehe! What happened to your old site? Why did you create a new one? Yes, it really was incredible. I think we all want sequels to e&p! Unfortunately, I don’t think there would be enougn material for another book.

Nothing happened, it’s just a regular personal blog, and I wanted a new place for this project!
Okay, for Fangirl (no spoilers in case you read it), the main character is part of a fandom for the book series, and Rainbow Rowell’s next book is just the main characters fan fiction about the series. Point: there’s always more to be written! 🙂

So… Fangirl is about… ? Sorry, got a little lost. I would look it uo on goodreads, but they often give spoilers (at least, I consider them to be spoilers when I finish)

Tsk, silly me. I am making this a bit confusing, sorry. Fangirl is about a girl named Cath who’s really into this fandom about a fictional book series. It’s also about her going to college, learning to be her own person (she has a twin who’s branching off on her own), etc. Hope that wasn’t too spoilery!

Hehe. Of course not! Sounds interesting. No, they often just say, for example, a line from more than halfway into the book. Great summary/teaser! ;-P

Not so long- I usually don’t built up too much because if my list gets too long, I end up trying to read as many books as quickly as I can, and don’t enjoy them :p

Smart. But I just figure, I’ll add as many as I can, so long as its not why I’m reading. Its just for inspiration on what I read next, you know?
