Fangirl: A Novel | 
pickFangirl is my 1st complete book for #WinterGames and an audio book, so I am comboing it with the #SelfieScavengerHunt game. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I had heard great things about Rowell, so she has been on my TBR list for awhile, but I always put her off. No longer!

pickWhat took me so long to read this book? After the constant thrillers, and suspense books. This was refreshing to read, and Cather really grew throughout the story. I just wished there was some kind of finalized ending. But it makes sense the way it ended. ❤️❤️ loves it
I loveee loveee love painted pages. ❤️❤️❤️ #24b4monday #mrbook1inamillion #readathon #LitsyPartyofOne
New books from target. Everyone ALWAYS recommends FanGirl. Hopefully it doesn‘t disappoint 🤗
pickBook 3 finished for #MrBook1inaMillion #litsypartyofone #24B4Monday. I love this so much. Its one of my faves and I can relate to a fair bit of it. 5* read. Off to read Carry On next so I can finally read Wayward Son.

writing is who i am.. i relate so much tu this book 😍
F is for Fangirl...
A book I didn‘t read for ages because I was sceptical about all the gushing I‘d seen on Instagram 😂
pickRainbow Rowell can really write the heck out of certain female characters. And Cath in Fangirl is a prime example. I found her to be both incredibly frustrating, and so relatable. Her struggles as a writer resonated with me, and so did her relational insecurities and immaturities. While I Iiked Cath‘s fangirl obsession, I felt the “excerpts” from Simon Snow and Cath‘s fanfic fell a little flat. But that may be my only criticism here. Loved this!
1. Always a difficult question. I went with something that has a happy ending, doesn‘t take too much brainpower, & has some romance.
2. Bare feet
3. Grand Canyon? Oak creek canyon?
4. Mayonnaise, meatloaf, the list goes on
5. No, but I might wear my Luna glasses.

Those of you who have known me for a while likely know that I'm a TOTAL fangirl (ha!) for Rainbow Rowell, as are Sara and Ashley. We finally let our fangirl flags fly on the newest episode of Unabridged. Check it out to find out OUR reasons why Rainbow Rowell Rocks.
pickI am giving myself- well, my #catsoflitsy, mug, and this book- a bunch of 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 because THIS is how you take a mental health day. I really love this book. Really. This is my second #RainbowRowell and I enjoyed it just as much as Eleanor & Park. I have Carry On and Wayward Son in the queue. 💗
pickI wasn‘t sure what to expect going in to this - it didn‘t sound like my thing. And it wasn‘t - except for Cath. Reading about someone who had the same struggles I did, the same fears and ways of thinking about things was so...comforting. I just finished and need to let it settle, and probably have too much to say about it for this small space, but overall it was a fun read and I‘m glad I gave it a chance.
i‘m about to start this novel. have you read it already? what are you‘re impressions? 🤓💛

She was the worst kind of out of control–the kind that thinks it‘s just fine, thanks.
Cath is so fucking difficult; I almost can‘t stand her. Everyone bends over backwards for her and irl ppl would be done with her shit.
“I don‘t even want to start this day because then I‘ll just be expected to finish it.”
I‘ve read Fangirl multiple times now and it is never not a delight to read. *chef kiss*
“What‘s the plan?” she asked.
He grinned. “My plan is to do things that make you want to hang out with me again tomorrow. What‘s your plan?” “I‘m going to try not to make an ass of myself.”
He grinned. “So we‘re all set.”
“You‘re never going to find a guy who‘s exactly like you–first of all, because that guy never leaves his dorm room. . . .”
She kept forcing herself to remember the entire conversation, playing it back and playing it back, all the way through, forcing a finger down her memory‘s throat.
Figured I‘d reread this before I started Wayward Son!
“I don‘t want to kiss a stranger,” Cath would answer. “I‘m not interested in lips out of context.”
In new situations, all the trickiest rules are the ones nobody bothers to explain to you.
You can‘t take back texts. If you come off all moody and melancholy in a text, it just sits there in your phone, reminding you of what a drag you are.
this book was beautiful. this is a feel good book with lots of feels. it touched on mental illness, abandonment, what we do to cope and love.
so so much love.
i loved this book. and i was rooting for everyone. this book as so much heart i can‘t stand it.
pickIf there was an option between pick and so-so I would have chosen that for this book. I really enjoyed the first 2/3rds, but felt like the last third was a little too googly-eyed teen smooch fest 🤣 obviously I‘m not the dead center of the YA market, but still felt silly. I wish the resolution with Caths writing project would have been a bit different too. Also anyone notice how many times Rowell mentions people‘s chins in this book? It‘s a lot.
It's the middle of the night (2 am)... I stayed up WAY too late finishing Fangirl, and now I'm devastated because, well, IT'S OVER 😫
pickI am now a Rainbow Rowell fan for life. I loved this book. Cath and Levi are great. I now understand why people sometimes hug a good book when they finish it. This was a delightful read!
1. Fangirl
2. Pumpkin ?
3. "If they hadn't stood there on the edge of the Great Lawn, holding this little bit of each other, long after the danger had passed."

1. Fangirl. It is delightful!
2. Maple. Pumpkin spice is ok, but I've always loved maple flavored anything.
3. "Well I was considering sharing a banana with you."
pickSuch fun experiencing Cath, her Simon Snow fan fiction passion, her toe-dipping into adulting, her relationships with Wren, Reagan, Levi, her dad, and compassionate Prof. Piper.
If you are smart, yearn to read and write, you are ‘normal‘. You are awesome. In YA I fear authors feed into the stereotype by casting this character as a misfit.
Nebraska, writing, Cath‘er‘ ...I so hoped for a shout-out to Willa Cather!
First time reading in my new backyard... and first Rainbow Rowell book. So far, just what I'm looking for. Low stakes comfort story about figuring out how to stand on your own feet.
Ok so i read Carry On first and fell madly in love with Simon Snow and Baz, as soon as i read it i knew i had to get Fangirl and read where it all began. This book looks so cute, green all over, even the page edges and had this beautiful art inside (peep simon and baz!🐇👀) i started reading the introduction but rainbow says if i haven‘t read the book yet, to experience it first then come back so i‘m saving the introduction for last💛 excited :)!
There's nothing better than grilling dinner in the rain, except audio-grilling in the rain! I'm loving this book so far. Rainbow Rowell has created a wonderful story, and the narrators are great! At least the rain has chased away the sweat bees!😛
I think it's a good sign when you see a rainbow while listening to a Rainbow Rowell book.😃🌈
I'm not really sure how this site works yet...goodreads isn't the same as it used to be and I'm looking to make some friends who I can talk about book related stuff with!
pickI‘m not a YA reader anymore, mostly because I find the romances so unbelievable. Rainbow Rowell is my super number 1 exception. She writes with so much verisimilitude and tenderness and humor. In Fangirl and in Eleanor and Park, she captures the anxious rush of falling for someone for the first time as well as the difficulty of growing up and the love and pain we experience through our families. So well written and so much fun to read! A favorite.
I have found my people!
I haven‘t been apart of a fandom for a long time! I miss the Harry Potter days!
I‘m also looking for my next series! If anyone has suggestions I am more then open to recommendations!

pickI really enjoyed this coming of age story. Levi was a great character! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
