Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell

Any Way the Wind Blows

Any Way the Wind Blows is the conclusion of Rainbow Rowell’s amazing Simon Snow Trilogy. The story began as part of another book, Fangirl. Fangirl was a contemporary novel in which the main character wrote fan fiction about a franchise similar to the Harry Potter franchise, with courageous students at a magical school. Carry On gave us a different version of this same fanfic that stood on its own as a lovely and moving deconstruction … Continue reading Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell

Books on Sale: Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah MacLean & More

Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah MacLean is $1.99! Amazon says this is a “limited time deal,” so I’m unsure when it actually ends.

Runaways, Vol. 1: Find Your Way Home by Rainbow Rowell and Kria Anka

Runaways, Vol. 1: Find Your Way Home

I know I’m late to the party (again) but I finally read the first volume of Rainbow Rowell’s Runaways comic book series and I have to share the Squee! Volume #1: Find Your Way Home collects Issues #1-6 of Rowell’s run. I loved this comic when it first originated with Brian K. Vaughan as the writer. I followed his stories and the subsequent Joss Whedon run but stopped after the Whedon run concluded. I’m overjoyed that Rainbow … Continue reading Runaways, Vol. 1: Find Your Way Home by Rainbow Rowell and Kria Anka

Lit Wicks: Nerds in Love

Welcome to Lit Wicks! This is where we pair an author’s backlist with candles to really immerse yourself in the reading experience. All of the candles featured in these post are from Etsy, which means there is often worldwide shipping and that you’re supporting independent crafters and sellers. The Etsy candle rabbit hole is one I have gone down many times. Instead of focusing on an author for September, we figured we would switch it … Continue reading Lit Wicks: Nerds in Love
