"a book that readers will find almost impossible to put down." Publishers Weekly 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. Simon Snow just wants to relax and savor his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he'll be safe. Simon can't even enjoy the fact that his roommate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can't stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you're the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savor anything. PRAISE FOR CARRY ON "Thrilling and sexy, funny and shocking, deeply moving and very, very magical. Trust me, you have never, ever seen a wizard school like this." Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians "Full of heart and humor, this fantastical tale is a worthy addition to the wizarding school genre." People Magazine

The Rainbow Rowell Collection
Same author's aching, chaste first-love voice and slow-burn yearning, minus the magic school and monsters—grounded contemporary heartache instead.
Any Way the Wind Blows
Continues Simon and Baz's story past the enemies-to-lovers stage, trading school-year tension for messier post-trauma healing and found family.
Once Upon a Broken Heart
Chosen-girl bargains with a wicked immortal in a fairytale-magic world; keeps the kissless yearning but swaps school rivalry for glittery villain romance.
Seek the Traitor's Son
Prophecy, sworn enemies falling anyway, and slow-burn longing, but epic war fantasy that's darker, bloodier and MF instead of school-set MM.
Pumpkin Heads
Same warm banter-heavy low-heat romance, but a sweet friends-to-lovers autumn-fair story in comic form with no monsters or magic.
The Queen of Nothing
Enemies-to-lovers with a barbed rival you can't stop thinking about; court politics and violence make it darker and more scheming than school corridors.
