Fangirl, Volume 2: The Manga
Beautifully adapted (by Sam Maggs) manga, illustrated by Gabi Nam, inspired by Rainbow Rowell's "Fangirl".
Which, going into the meta-fan-hole again, is a book about a fan-girl in a famous (HP-style) fandom, writing an ultra popular fanfic before the final canon-book is published that will end the Simon Snow series forever. The one by Gemma T. Leslie. Not the one by Rainbow Rowell (which will also end forever soon). As she (Cath--the fan-girl in "Fangirl") struggles with her first year of college, of being away from home, of making friends, of writing fanfic with having a top-notch-writing-prof who doesn't believe in fanfic (idiots). All the while finding herself, finding friends, and finding love.
Annnnyway. This very second volume (2/4) covers from when Cath receives the 911 text from her twin-y Wren to the party at Levi's house. Just to give you a non-spoils incite on how this book runs alongside the original Rowell text.
Here's to stopping myself from rereading Carry On. Again. Because I've been thinking about it lately, but I need to control myself, I need to read some of the already downloaded/already purchased TBR piles.
BUT, if I do cave, it's because I need more Snowbaz in my life (always). I mean, that's the whole premise with Cath (Simon and Baz are the one thing that is untouchable, something that never fails to make her happy and calm and scream more than anything/anyone--same, girl, same). Annnnd those two fools (sorry Bazzy, but when it comes to Simon, you're head-over-heels-stupid) are the reason we know have our very own, real-life Simon Snow series (because Rainbow couldn't get them out of her head either--I mean, who can).
[[[A good portion of this post was copy & pasted & repurposed from another post. 1: because it was written pretty damn well, if I do say so myself. 2: it was easier that way. 3: I'm not sure how may times I can write and rewrite that same raving/praising/loving thoughts about Fangirl/Carry On/Simon & Baz/Rainbow without repeating myself, hence, repeating myself.]]]
