City of Ashes (The Mortal Instrument, #2) by Cassandra Clare → Start Date: June 28, 2013

[Trinity]

Hey guys! I was wondering if you were interested in reading City of Ashes with me, Shelby, and Trinity(another Trinity) :D

[Shelby]

Followed. ;)

Yay! :D

[Trinity]

im the other trinity :) lol and i cant wait to start its on my :
Goodreads : BuddyReads (List)
i have at home on my clipboard thats on my wall ;)
so once i finish city of bones ill go to this book :)

[Becky]

Oh Man, you're killing me! If I can fit this in, I'll be here! Have a ton of reads going on this month tho! I loved city of Bones!

[Brianna♥]

I thought we were going to wait for this one.. :( I won't be able to finish #1 before then (buddy read for #1 starts on the 11th)

[Becky]

Brianna, we can do one together if they can't wait. Because it will be really hard for me to fit this in on the 17th. So, we can just plan on that if you would like.

[Trinity]

We're still deciding whether or not we're gonna change the date. Didn't you guys say that you start the first book on the 11th?

[Trinity]

The more the merrier right?

[Becky]

Always the more the merrier, lol! I already read book 1 on my own, thought I was the only one who hadn't read it yet, lol. I just wanted Brianna to know that if the 17th doesn't work for her I would be willing to read it with her a bit later, so that you guys can continue on the 17th.

Either way is fine with me because I am really very busy with BR's in June, lol! :-)

[Trinity]

Hmmmmm. Is everyone free on the 28th?

[Shelby]

28th is still fine for me.

[Trinity]

Shelby wrote: "28th is still fine for me."

Yay :D

[Trinity]

srry guys but i wont b able to read the book with u guys :( but ill b checking in to see u guys writing ur thoughts

[Brianna♥]

I could probably do the 28th! That should give me enough time to get the book and finish the 1st one. :)

[Beatrice]

I'm going to lurk on this thread... i would say that this is better than the first book.

I hope you'll be able to join :)

[Brianna♥]

I put the requests in at my library, so fingers crossed! I'm on a waiting list now.

[Becky]

Ok, great all. It's on my BR calendar! I think I may just buy it in paperback at Wally World since I own #1 anyway... but I'll see. :-) EXCITED!

[Ashlyn]

I'll try to be here. I've been meaning to read this book again.

[Brianna♥]

I'm all set for this one! :) I'm excited!!

[Trinity]

Me 2! I can't wait to start tomorrow :-)

[Brianna♥]

Me neither!!

[Becky]

Me too, my book is sitting there staring at me. I'll have to wait til after work tho - boo! LOLOLOL!

[Brianna♥]

I started it this morning since I'm listening to it in my car and will take me longer to read it :)

Who is the narrator Brianna? It can make or break and audio book. I'm soooo curious!

[Brianna♥]

I agree! It looks like this one is Natalie Moore. City of Bones had a different narrator, so it's throwing me off a bit. Lol

[Brianna♥]

Ok so I'm like 20 pages in and I'm already confused on something.. (view spoiler)[ It says that Alec and Isabelle are Jace's step brother and sister... What?? How? Then it says that Jace was adopted by Alec and Isabelle's parents... Ok so they would be siblings, but no "step" in there... (hide spoiler)]

So confused!!! Someone explain please! Lol

[Becky]

Well I agree with that - would be (view spoiler)[ adopted sibling not "step" (hide spoiler)].

Things that make you go hmmmmmm!

[Trinity]

Should we come back after 5 chapters?

[Becky]

I think that should be good Trinity. Check in every 5 chapters or when something major happens - make sure to mark spoilers! Yay!

[Brianna♥]

Sounds good to me too!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

(Trinity, if you made the link, you can move it to the "in progress" shelf. If you go up to the top, it should say "edit". Click that and click the down arrow and then pick buddy read: in progress. :) I hope that helps!)

[Trinity]

Thanks Trisha :-) I already knew how to move it, I just forgot. Thank you for reminding me though! I hope everyone is enjoying the book so far! :-)

[Becky]

I'm about 3 chapters in so far, this book is sooooooo huge! BUT OMG it just takes right off, doesn't it??? I'm sooooooo worried already. And I'm not too happy with Alec and Isabelle's mom!

Agreed! She's (view spoiler)[ just turning her back on him!? How could you do that when he's been your adopted child for 7 years?? (hide spoiler)]

I don't know. I couldn't do that at all! She's supposed to LOVE him, duh!

[Becky]

OMG, I'm so angry with Maryse. I just called her a bad name. She kicked him OUT and took his KEYS?!?!?!? Oh aaarrrggghhh! She needs her A$$ kicked. Excuse my language.

Omg I know! At least they don't need keys to get in! :) I thought that was kind of funny.

I love the way Luke keeps putting her in her place too. I can't figure her out yet....

Me too! I feel like there's some secret that we still don't know yet...

[Becky]

just starting chapter 8, the beginning of Part 2. I'm kinda worried, not gonna lie!

[Becky]

I just love these kids!

[Brianna♥]

Just finished chapter 8! Omg! (view spoiler)[ The queen made them kiss?!? How awkward! And poor Simon! He can't be too happy about that... And did you notice where the queen told Jace that he needs to ask his father about the blood running through his veins?? Do you think maybe he's not actually Clary's brother? (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

Ok, I'm 2 pages away from finishing that chapter - and I just came to say - HOLY CRAP! I'll finish my 2 pages and then read your spoiler Brianna!
