If you've ever wanted an escapist, human, lovable, queer Harry Potter, go pick up Carry On right now. The book centers around the 'Chosen One', Simon Snow, who attends a Hogwarts-style magical boarding school. He and his friends learn more about how their world works, make mistakes, fall in love, eat scones and unravel mysteries. I cannot stress how good this book is.
