Thanks

[Riya]

Hey guys! I was wondering if I could join you after you finish City of Bones? I read that one a few weeks ago, and I was looking for other people to join for the rest of the series :)

[onceuponatimeareview]

Sure

Yay!!!

[Krissie]

We'll begin this series on May 1st. Could a mod change the date please? :)

[Maddie]

Thanks!

I may join soon, but I'm already almost done with City of Ashes.

[Hanna]

I'm totally in for Reading this

[Rachael]

I'll join in the discussion and re-read a couple with you guys if I can :)

[Rachael]

Oh wait this isn't the series thread... Do you guys plan to read them as a series?

[Maddie]

Yeah I do haha.

[Rachael]

Oh maybe this is the series thread... haha i dunno I'm confused

Anyways, happy reading!

[Maddie]

Haha it is a series thread.

[Rachael]

Nope :( Just checked, it's just a buddy read not a series read, you won't be able to change it when you move on to second book. Maybe a mod can change it for us?

[Maddie]

Wait huh? XD I'm gonna be reading the whole series anyway.

[Rachael]

I just meant like the location of the thread, no worries

[Maddie]

Oh right haha.

[Krissie]

@Rachael Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't pay attention to the Buddy Read part. I searched for TMI and a series thread came up, so I never gave it a second thought!

I started the TMI thread properly under Series Read Alongs. Now maybe a mod can change the date on THIS thread so that there's not any confusion. Sorry about that!

[Rachael]

Oh perfect! Thanks for that, I'll see ya in the other thread :)

[Krissie]

No problem. Can't wait :)

[Krissie]

Okay a mod has moved this thread to Series Read Alongs. No need for the one I made. Even better!

[Maddie]

Okay!

[Rachael]

Weird things going on with goodreads, not your fault :) Thanks mods!

[rachel, x]

I actually have maths homework so after that I'll start. :) This a reread for you Maddie? :)

[Maddie]

Yeah of the first 2 then the 3rd plus are new.

The first two are the best ones. :)

[Maddie]

Aw really? I was excited. XD

[rachel, x]

Maddison wrote: "Aw really? I was excited. XD"

Yeah, the third one is pretty good too and the next two are rubbish. Hoping the new one is going to be better! :)

[Maddie]

Okay. :(

chapter two - (view spoiler)[Killer of a first chapter. How freaky would it be that you could see people others cannot? I would be so scared!! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

(view spoiler)[Yeah I'd be freaked out too. But then, I am Special lol. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

@Maddie Ahaha! :P

chapter four - (view spoiler)[Wouldn't it be more logical to run back into the café and call the police then proceed home? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Wow you're fast!

(view spoiler)[Rachel, it's a book haha. Logical things don't happen in books. And if you were Clary you'd have no idea how to react. XD (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Maddison wrote: "Wow you're fast!

[spoilers removed]"

Yeah, I guess so but it annoys me sometimes how illogical they are!

Chapter six - (view spoiler)[She so naïve assuming she is fine just because they healed her. How does she know Jace isn't a serial rapist? I mean he appears crazy believing in demons and all this other stuff. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

chapter nine - Sorry, I am such a mad multi-tasker and always gets distracted. (view spoiler)[I am enjoying this as much as I did the first time. I can point out of lot of annoying little things now however. Like how easily Clary just goes with it all. (hide spoiler)]

32%, chapter ten - logging off for the night now. I hope you girls enjoy it. Talk in the morning.

[Hanna]

I'll start when I get it, which is hopefully soon I ordered it on Tuesday, because the Library didn't have it.

[Krissie]

Chapter 1 - (view spoiler)[Every time I imagine Jace, I still think of Alex Pettyfer. JCB was great at delivering Jace's one liners in the movie, but I simply refuse to picture Jace as looking like him. Also, when Clary first hears Jace's voice, she says absolutely nothing about him having a British accent. <.< I know this is a not a movie discussion but I just think that had to be said. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 2 - (view spoiler)[Lots of foreshadowing that I didn't appreciate the first time around. Also the different names that Simon's band goes through are freaking EPIC. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4 - (view spoiler)[The movie totally messed with my head on this one. When Clary was fighting that creature I was expecting Jace to swoop in at any second, totally forgetting that she had managed to save her OWN butt in the book. (hide spoiler)]

[Krissie]

Chapter 7 - (view spoiler)[Stupid Clary. You just HAD to open the five-dimensional door, didn't you? (hide spoiler)]

chapter one response: (view spoiler)[I refused to watch the movie because it looked terrible. One of the worst castings that has ever happened - ever! I really don't like JCB. My friend says he looks like a weasel and when he calls Simon that in the book I just laughed because it is totally the other way around. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter two response: (view spoiler)[I agree they come up with some really great names: Sea Vegetable Conspiracy! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter four response: (view spoiler)[I haven't seen it. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

chapter twelve: (view spoiler)[Poor Simon! He's so my favourite character (well, until someone else comes along but I won't say who for newbies). He really deserve better than her but I hate how she is so ignorant. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Wow! Still not started haha. You guys are flying through!

Not really! I have too much homework to sit down and read it. :(

[Maddie]

What chapter are you on? And the chapters are really long! :o
