I have no clue Brianna, I'm so confused now! She called both of them his "experiments". And that was no ordinary (view spoiler)[ kiss! WOW! And I feel sooooooooooo sorry for Simon - maybe he can get with Maia! (hide spoiler)]

Youza is all I can say!

[Becky]

Ok chapter 9 wasn't much calmer was it???????

(view spoiler)[ POOR SIMON. What would he really want? Why did he go there anyway??? (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

Just starting chapter 12. How is everyone else progressing???

[Brianna♥]

I stopped at the end of chapter 8. I'll be continuing tomorrow! I am so tempted to read your ch. 9 spoiler!!! Ahhh! Lol

[Becky]

It's not really a spoiler, lol. But read the chapter (or listen to it in your case) first anyway. It's a short(er) chapter!

I'm so anxious to be done - it's just soooooooo good!

[Ashlyn]

Just finished chapter 8. I feel kind of bad for Simon.

Ch 9- OH MY GOD!!! Crazy! (view spoiler)[ I remember thinking when he bit the vampire - hmm.. Wouldn't that make him become a vampire too? But TOTALLY forgot about it and brushed it off. (hide spoiler)]I just don't even know what to say!

And Clary (view spoiler)[ mentions how she looked at Jace and didn't see any resemblances to her or her mother or even Valentine! So I'm soooooo curious as to what happens! I have a feeling they are NOT brother and sister and its all going to blow up! Which I will be extremely happy about! (hide spoiler)]
:)

[Becky]

Just finished chapter 16 and now I'm pi $$ ed. Bad.

I actually kind of thought (view spoiler)[ that Simon was already a vampire because of the way he had been acting. He kept asking people how they knew he if he was a mundane or not and how he reacted to that movie. (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

@Brianna, I sure hope your right about your 2nd spoiler, and @Ashlyn, you're way better than me. I didn't even consider that!

(view spoiler)[ I am so upset at this book right now, lol. I'm so stupid sometimes. I keep reading a few words and then having to put it down. UGH. Really, its FICTION! If simon is really dead, i'm going to be MEGA and I mean MEGA upset! And if anyone else I care about dies in this fight that is now happening I will be most put out! (hide spoiler)]

ARGH!

ARGH!"

Where are you at? I stopped at chapter 11!

[Becky]

I'm at the end, kinda. In the middle of chapter 17.

[Ashlyn]

I just got to chapter 14.

[Becky]

omg I love this book!

[Becky]

Ok, I'm finished. I resisted reading the "preview" of City of Glass, because I won't be able to stop.

Holy Wow Batman, just wow!

Tell me when we can move on to COG.

(view spoiler)[ I felt so bad for Clary when she went to tell Jace she loved him and he was like let me go first and told her he would just be her brother... UGH. Always bad timing, always!

AND OMG with what happened to Simon. I want to know how he and Jace are connected now, because you know that has to have an impact in the future stories.

Yikes is all I can say. (hide spoiler)]

5 stars from me!

[Brianna♥]

I haven't had any time to read at all today, so it will take me a little while more. I could probably do COG later in the month, like toward the end of July?

[Becky]

I have only one the on the 15th, so I'm pretty "free" the rest of that week, or after the 24th.

Just chime in everyone and let me know. How about we shoot for the 18th or the 19th of July?

[Brianna♥]

I'll be on a trip with my family until the 24th. Could we possibly do it after that?

[Becky]

Sounds good! Is the 5th too soon? Let me know what works for you Brianna!

[Brianna♥]

Do you mean August 5th? Or did you mean July 25th? :)

[Becky]

Omg, I can't type. I meant July 25th. Aparently I wasn't paying very good attention when I typed! LOL.

Let's plan on the 25th and then we can change it if its a problem for our other participants!

[Ashlyn]

I just finished it! (view spoiler)[ Why did it end like that for Clary and Jace?? I thought she was actually going to tell him and then she didn't! So wish she would have! So, I have to ask ... Dumbledore or Magnus Bane? (hide spoiler)]

I gave it a 5 star.

[Becky]

Oh Ashlyn that's a hard question, lol!

Glad you loved it!

(view spoiler)[ I didn't like how she didn't tell him either, damnit! (hide spoiler)]

[Brianna♥]

Ok I'm on page 337. Since I'm listening to it, I'm not sure what chapter that is. But I really really really want to know (view spoiler)[ what happened to the son of the inquisitor! And what the queen really meant when she told Jace to ask Valentine what blood runs through his veins.. I have a feeling there was more to it than just the angel's blood. (hide spoiler)]

I will be starting CD #9 of 12 tomorrow morning when I leave to go to work. :)

[Becky]

Brianna, are you loving it or what??????

I'll set the next book for the 25th!

BRB with the link....

Ok, here we go! http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

[Brianna♥]

Yes! Totally loving it!! :) I'll probably finish it this week!

[Brianna♥]

10 PAGES LEFT!!! Omg omg omg omg! (view spoiler)[So I'm guessing since Jace let Simon drink his blood, that now Simon is able to be in the sunlight? That's got to be the reason! Can't they figure that one out?? Lol! (hide spoiler)] And wow! So much has happened! So many questions!!! I LOVE this series! ♥

[Becky]

I love it too Brianna!!!!!
