I think I'll start tomorrow. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Ah! sorry I'm late starting right this minute!

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 7

(view spoiler)[ Well it looks likes Dorothea isn't a fake witch after all. I wonder if the blood on the letter Hodge sent will affect anything. And why could Simon see Clary's mom's scars if even Clary couldn't and she can see things? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ The slap cracked me up! (hide spoiler)]

[Em⋆]

Chaper 5
(view spoiler)[ They are sending Jace to the prison of the Silent City :( I don't like Imogen. He had already agreed to a trial with the Sword, so why send him to prison for one day? (hide spoiler)]

[Em⋆]

Up to chapter 15
(view spoiler)[ Simon became a vampire. Clary found out she can creat runes.
It was so funny when Alec almost told his parents he was dating Magnus because of the fearless rune Clary created. (hide spoiler)]

[Em⋆]

Up to chapter 18
(view spoiler)[ So both Clary and Jace have special talents.
Imogen wants revenge so much she is risking everyones lives. (hide spoiler)]

[Em⋆]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ wow, Clary teared apart the boat with a rune. Unfortunately, Valentine escaped with the Mortal Cup and the Soul Sword. A woman called Madeleine appeared at the end of the book saying she knows how to wake up Jocelyn. (hide spoiler)]

Starting

[Amanda Setasha]

Prologue
(view spoiler)[ Okay. So the beginning of the prologue was confusing because it's been a while since I've read the first book. And am I a bad person for busting out laughing at the chapter 1 opening of "Are you still mad at me?" (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda Setasha]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[ If Jace could stop being a moody 2004 era emo child, that'd be great. xD omg. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda Setasha]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ Honestly, Magnus Bane super saves this series for me. I super super super appreciate his sarcasm. The first thing he says in this book is "Is he dead? He looks dead." Bless this warlock. xD (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 17

(view spoiler)[ Oh man, I don't even know who I prefer for her between Jace and Simon. Simon really saved the day a few times there and he seems so sweet, and has clearly always been in love with her. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 21

(view spoiler)[ Once again, Simon saves the day! Can't believe Hodge just turned on them like that. I think a life at the Institute had to be better than putting the whole world on danger. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Soooo this relationship between Jace and Clary isn't going to continue right?! (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda Setasha]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ Well that kiss was something. I watched it in the TV show the first time - which I knew was different - and I liked this one better. The details were good too. I just wasn't expecting the kiss to go on for literally 3 paragraphs. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda Setasha]

End
(view spoiler)[ Well those last few chapters were a roller coaster to say the least. I enjoyed a lot of it. (hide spoiler)]

[Skye]

On chapter 11 in city of bones! Anyone interested in buddy reading? :)

[Skye]

On chapter 11 in city of bones. Anyone wanna buddy read?:)

[Jamie]

10% (view spoiler)[I already love what a great friend Simon is! Going to clubs he doesn't like, comforting her, and sometimes teasing her as needed. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

City of Ashes

Up to Chapter 4

(view spoiler)[ This situation between Jace and Clary is so awkward. And I'm happy Maryse was actually trying to protect Jace and wasn't just being horrible. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I wondered the same thing about Simon seeing those scars! I am listening to this in audiobook and I LOVE how the narrator does Dorothea's voice!. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Just found this so I'm a little late to the Party! City of Bones Anyone wanna buddy read still?

[Em⋆]

End of chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ Demons entered Alicante for the first time. Max was killed by Sebastian :( He was working with Valentine all this time. (hide spoiler)]

[Em⋆]

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[ Finally! Jocelyn woke up. Clary found the book of the white and Magnus did the antidote to wake her up. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

City of Ashes

End of Part One

(view spoiler)[ Simon and Clary together is just so awkward to me. Especially since I think Simon may have a spark with Maia. This Jace as Clary's brother situation is messing everything up. (hide spoiler)]

[Em⋆]

Chapter 17
(view spoiler)[ Jace isn't Clary's brother, Sebastian is. His real name is Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern. He is the one who has demon blood. Both Clary and Jace have angel blood. (hide spoiler)]

[Em⋆]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Valentine summoned angel Raziel with the three mortal instruments in order to compel something from him. However, Clary changed the runes of the ceremony making herself the master.
The angel killed Valentine for justice and Clary requested the angel to bring Jace back from death. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

City of Ashes - Up to Chapter 13

(view spoiler)[ Simon is a vampire now?! Are there going to be any mundanes left at the end of all of this? And I wish Alec would just come clean with everyone. It's so obvious to literally everyone that he has a thing with Magnus, and poor Magnus. This Jace/Clary thing is still really weird and uncomfortable. Does finding out someone is your brother not instantly kill your feelings because I feel like it should. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

City of Ashes - up to Chapter 18

(view spoiler)[ It's really sad that the Inquisitor lost her whole family because of Valentine, but now her own hatred is going to get everyone killed. I really want to know what Valentine did to Clary and Jace to make them more powerful. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

City of Ashes - Finished

(view spoiler)[ So did Jace's blood just solve Simon's no sunlight problem?! What the heck is in their blood?! And the Inquisitor definitely knew something about Jace... (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

City of Bones 60% (view spoiler)[For some reason I kind of liked Raphael. Even if he is a vampire that tried to trick them. And cannot believe Alec threatened Clary by promise!! (hide spoiler)]

[Lee]

City of Bones
10% (view spoiler)[ Simon is honestly really precious. He seems like a good friend. (hide spoiler)]
35% (view spoiler)[ There is honestly so much sass throughout this and it's wonderful. I love it. (hide spoiler)]
63% (view spoiler)[ Poor Simon. :c (hide spoiler)]
88% (view spoiler)[ wtf is even happening right now??? How much of this is the truth?? IDK what to believe!! (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Well that was excellent. I really loved the humor throughout the book and well... Jace and Clary being sibilings.... I'm just really impressed I had missed that spoiler. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Done (view spoiler)[I feel so bad for Jace and clary at the end. THe conflicting lies they grew up with... (hide spoiler)]

[Ashy Khaira]

Chapter 6-10 (view spoiler)[ Sebastian helps clary and at first I think how nice he is trying to help her from what jace did to her,I mean he is supposed to be her brother.valentines inhumane treatment of the angel was despicable.clarys description if Sebastian when she rejected him,the words he used and the memories she saw,has me convinced that Sebastian is not who he claims he is and jace and clary are not siblings....Will read on to see if I am right (hide spoiler)]

[Ashy Khaira]

chapter 11-15 (view spoiler)[i cant believe how much more i hate valentine now,first he brings down and almost destroys his own people wanting to rule and get rid of downworlders who does not harm the shadowhunters,but he almost hurts clarrisa and jace.and i hate izzy for thinking clary is not affected just because she chooses to be blind to what clary goes through.glad to see alec and magnus come clean on their feelings and jocelyn no longer in a coma (hide spoiler)]

[Ashy Khaira]

Chapter 16-20 (view spoiler)[ Jace follows Sebastian by tracking him and finds out he is the true Jonathan son of valentine and that jace is a herondale.cheered at the though since it means him and clary get to be together.my suspicions were right.at least Jocelyn and like are together too.wheeee can't wait to move in to the next book in the series :) (hide spoiler)]

[Em⋆]

[Jamie]

8% (view spoiler)[I cannot believe Mrs Lightwood would suddenly treat Jace so horribly!! GRR Shame on her!. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

End of Part 1 (view spoiler)[This inquisitor is a B****. I like the Lucien gave CLary her mother's weapon. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ Simon giving Alec relationship advice with Magnus was just so adorable. I feel like they could be good friends if Simon wasn't fighting with Jace all the time. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Well Sebastian is probably a much healthier relationship for Clary than her being in love with Jace. (hide spoiler)]
