I'm going to try for 5 chapters a day as well! I haven't been able to start it yet though.

[Sarah]

I'm just starting it now. Going to aim for 5 chapters a day as well

[Sarah]

Is any1 actually doin this buddy read?

[Brianna♥]

I still haven't been able to start it yet. Should be able to tonight or tomorrow, hopefully.

[Sarah]

Ok I'm on chapter 6. Finding it hard to get into

[Brianna♥]

I have read the first couple pages! I should be able to read more tomorrow. Then for sure Monday because I have the audio CDs to listen to in my car too! :)

[Brianna♥]

Just started chapter 6. Wow, so much has happened already!

Clary.. (view spoiler)[ not sure what I think of her yet. She's so sure that she's not any sort of non-human and insists that she is just a mundane. I have a feeling she definitely is not! (hide spoiler)]

Simon.. (view spoiler)[ I'm guessing the girl he likes is Clary.. Lol And I'm pretty sure he would have followed her outside when she looked like she was freaking out and chased after Jace. He's probably worried and not sure what happened to Clary. (hide spoiler)]

Jace.. (view spoiler)[ I think he likes Clary too and is just trying to figure her out (especially trying to figure out WHAT she is). He seems kind of possessive and protective of her at times, but then I would have thought he would have visited her while she was sleeping then. (hide spoiler)]

I'm really liking this one so far! :)

(view spoiler)[I think it's obvious Simon likes her! :D I don't like Jace very much. He's sarcastic and rude! But I guess people like him because he's 'mysterious' or so they say. I like the story a lot though. :D (hide spoiler)]

[Brianna♥]

They probably just like Jace because (view spoiler)[ he's supposed to be so good looking? Lol I'm not sure if I like him yet or not. (hide spoiler)]

[Ally]

Hi guys! I was browsing the discussion and I just had to butt in.

You guys don't love Jace?! He's probably my favorite book character of all time. Then again, I'm terribly sarcastic so I love it. Don't worry, give it time. You'll give in soon ;)

[Brianna♥]

I'm sure I will! :) I just haven't read enough yet to really get to know his character.

[Brianna♥]

Ok now on chapter 11. Oh my gosh, I'm LOVING this book! I'm just flying through it, I can read it so fast! I love all of the details and I find myself carefully reading through all the descriptions and details of everything. :)

[Brianna♥]

Now on chapter 19. Still loving this one! :) So much action!

I looked up the cast of the movie, and I'm really disappointed in who plays Jace and Isabelle... (view spoiler)[ I was expecting Jace to be a little more muscular and gorgeous. And I thought Isabelle was supposed to be really tall? She looks like she's shorter than the girl who plays Clary.. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

What page are you on Brianna?

I may join you guys even though I am really late.. I can catch up:)

[Brianna♥]

I am on page 367, I believe. I don't have the book in front of me, but that was the last status update I had. :)

[Daniela]

I think I'll have my copy this week (hopefully), so if there's going to be a buddy read for the second book, let me know! Because I doubt I'll be able to join you for this one haha.

[Trinity]

Daniela, I made a buddy read for book 2 City of Ashes. We'll start reading it on June 28th in case you want to read it with us :-)

Great! :) thank you.. I'll start reading the first book as soon as I get it! Ad I hope I can join you guys for the second :)

[Brianna♥]

Just finished! Wow! I loved this book! :)

I totally knew that (view spoiler)[ Valentine was going to be Clary's father! I had no idea that Jace would be Clary's brother though! I was kind of disappointed with that. :( I still loved it though! (hide spoiler)]

Hey! I haven't read CoB either yet! Do you want to do our own little buddy read so we're not on our own?! And I wanted to join the second one too so it seems like we are in the same boat here:)

I think Jace might be (view spoiler)[adopted because I don't believe that he is her actual brother (hide spoiler)]
