I want to know what those 3 words were damn it!!!! I want to know what happens. Am I to be like Hazel Grace from Fault In Our Stars, stalking Van Houten to find out what happened to everyone? Arghhhhhh

I wouldn't Tiana. I would read afterwards so I wasn't comparing the movie to the book. There is a lit more in the book, of course.

just finished
yaaay, though I want to read the next one, but unfortunately I don't have it. Now I don't know what to read next, I have 6 books unread and a lot more on my Kobo and Kindle. Hmmm.. choices, choices.......

Mod
and it was OK. This series doesn't wow me but I am very comfortable with the characters and enjoy reading them.
So I finished
and it was great. This series is very good and I'm looking forward to books 3 & 4. I also finished
which was really good too and I loved getting back to the MC characters. Now I'm a third way into
and enjoying it. I've enjoyed this trilogy a lot and very excited about finding out how it all ends.

Just finished City of Lost Souls ....think I'm gonna check out The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince; Clockwork Princess before I finish the series...I'm not ready to let go...
Mod
I preferred The Infernal Devices to TMI.
Really now? Hmmmm....I'll definitely have to check it out then because I love tmi...thanks
Mod
I did to Brooke. I only read the first TMI.
Mod
I read the first three. Then I thought I'd wait for the final book to come out before I rushed into the 4th and 5th. But I still haven't gotten to them. I have them sitting on my shelf. Since it was planned as a trilogy originally, I feel like the third book did a great job of bringing everything together. So I don't feel a rush to get into the others. I would like to read them eventually, though.
Mod
For some reason I could not get into these books. I started reading the City of Bones and quit then I got it on audio because sometimes I can tolerate a book better that way but it didn't help. I did finish it but it just didn't tickle my fancy.

The fifth was better, the sixth I really loved. But I 100% agree that the Infernal Devices was better.
Finally starting
and so far it's really good.

Spoilers if you haven't read the first two:
i think it was definitely the Jace/Clary thing that turned me off....even though i'm sure it probably works out somehow in the later novels, it doesn't make it any less uncomfortable in the first two (particularly the 2nd)...I also hated in the second how, just because Clary couldn't have Jace she decided to date Simon...I really hate when authors do that, it makes the MC seem incredibly shallow and as though they don't value their friends at all.
Anyway, I haven't read TID yet but I have the first one on my shelf and will give it a go at some stage, everyone seems to think that series is better but to be honest i'm just a bit meh about Cassandra Clare
That was very awkward at first yes, the Jace and Clary issue, but it gets resolved sure enough, and thank God! The series gets much better..Honestly I love the characters, well some I hate but Magnus Bane alone is enough for me lol...I can't wait for The Bane Chronicles
Also, I noticed someone saying a while back (last week or the week before) something about a follow up to
It is true - I saw it available for pre-order on Amazon when i was buying something else the other day - It's called The Heir and it is an actual complete novel.
Now - I am one of those people who read all three books because I was just like "meh, it's not great but it's not horrible, it only takes a few hours to read, may as well see what happens in the end" ...now I actually feel kind of ashamed that I am one of the people that contributed to Kiera Cass's "best seller" title and made her think it was okay to write a follow up

Although I suppose, why not? if people like them, it's not that much different to Richelle Mead with VA and Bloodlines...I would certainly be happy with another "VA world" series from Mead :)

Ash wrote: "Also, I noticed someone saying a while back (last week or the week before) something about a follow up to [bookcover:The One|20572939..."LMAO! I am guilty of this too, except I gave 3 stars. Lots of people are giving the last one 5 stars. I think they are all 14 year olds or they are rating the cover dress.

Just finished
and it was really good.
Mod
and so far it's really good."YAY!! I loved this book!
Mod
I see where you are coming from. Did you see the movie? They changed it b/c of the (view spoiler)
Mod
Magnus is THE BEST character in the series. And I love how he runs throughout all 9 books! I have a few of The Bane Chronicles. But I haven't read them yet. I don't know why. They are shorts!
Mod
and absolutely ADORED it. Just as much as Lola. I can't decide if I like Lola or this one better. But I'm sad to say goodbye to all these characters. Did I see she might write more?I will try and pick
back up today and finish by tomorrow. I have a beta read I must start.I need to make a list of my review books!
Ash wrote: "Also, I noticed someone saying a while back (last week or the week before) something about a follow up to [bookcover:The One|20572939..."Hahaha! Good point ASh. I'm guilty of this too LOL! I kept reading them eventhough they weren't great I convinced myself I just needed to know how the story ended.
