Well now you're almost done with tomorrow's chapters! Maybe we can also start Heart So Fierce and Broken to fill the gap? lol

YES! How many chapters of that? I can definitely dive into that!

[Aly]

Sorry, I left to go to an appointment. It's fine with me if you read all of Heart So Fierce at once

LMAO good because I'm almost done.. I think I have a reading problem...

[Aly]

ch 4 (view spoiler)[ Awh, I like James and Cordelia's crushes! I can't wait for them to get together. And Lucy seeing Jesse's ghost is very interesting (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "ch 4 [spoilers removed]"

YES! They are so freaking cute!!

[Aly]

I like Matthew a lot too, I wonder who he gets with?

[Alaina]

Is this your first time reading it??

[Aly]

Yes!

[Alaina]

Ahh okay this is a re-read for me so I wont spoil anything lol

[Aly]

I hadn't read many of the Shadowhunter books before we started our buddy so most of it is new and exciting

Ooo yay! Okay this will be fun to read your thoughts then.

[Alaina]

12: (view spoiler)[I feel like so much happened. I'm not sure what is going on with Grace though.. she shouldn't be pressuring James to marry and then say anyone else would jump at the chance to be mundane and be with her if she asked. All cause he said no. Calm down girl.

Also wasn't expecting another death. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 18: (view spoiler)[Everyone: James don't do it
James: I'm going to do it.

I'm not sure what's behind that portal but I doubt it will be good things or a surprise party. Don't die. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 6: Okay, a lot has happened already and I'm trying to remember all the little details and such because for some reason I have no freaking idea what is importan..."

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I'm wondering about the bracelet too. And did James tell his friends that he's in love with Grace?! No no silly boy, you like Cordelia (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 8 (view spoiler)[ Do we know how Jesse died? I don't remember that from the Infernal Devices books. I really want James and Cordelia to get together already and I'm very wary of Grace.
Also, Matthew, Christopher, and Thomas are hilarious and I love them (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Alaina wrote: "

Yeah, I wanted to slap him.

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "ch 8 ..."

I'm not going to lie.. (view spoiler)[it has been bugging me - Jesse's death. I thought he was mentioned in one of the Bane's books.. but I can't remember right now. But I thought people just said he was dead.. but he really wasn't?? Maybe he's in a coma? Not sure. ALL I AM IS CONFUSED THOUGH.

Also, Grace is so weird. I don't trust her. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Tessa and Will will be the death of me. The little story at the end was cute but dang - almost killed me. Then there's James and and Cordelia being married LIKE THEY SHOULD BE. They seriously need to stop pretending that they don't love each other. Marriage for a year? What a joke. We all know the truth. (hide spoiler)]

Hmm, very interesting....

[Alaina]

Introduction: (view spoiler)[Lol I'm laughing at the notes between these three - Simon, Clary and Jace. I also laughed at Magnus's 17 reasons.. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Treasury: (view spoiler)[Okay, so the Iron Sisters seem like such bad asses. I don't know if there's a book about them but I definitely one from their POV. PLEASE!

Also I'm still dying over their comments to some of these things. Especially the responses from Simon. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

The Arts: (view spoiler)[For some reason, I also thought that when you have a parabatai - if one died, you died as well?!? Not sure why that was my thought process but I liked how this refreshed my memory about it. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Bestiaire, Part 1 - 3: (view spoiler)[Demonologie - Lilith reminds me of the Cursebreakers series and I'm mad all over again. FUCKING LILITH!

Downworlders - Interesting how werewolves can have kids but they wouldn't be a werewolf..

Angels and Men - Since these books have so many demons and such, I'm glad that Zombies are not in the picture. Or mummies. Thank you, next.

**Side note** I'm enjoying all the pictures. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Grimoire: (view spoiler)[So since Clary can create ruins and such.. is it possible that if her and Jace ever have kids.. that they could inherit that power? Or no? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Sed Lex, Dura Lex: (view spoiler)[For some reason this made me think of divergent with the whole faction before family thing. I also can't believe David wanted to go through that whole process to become a silent brother. Yikes, sounded painful. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Geographie: (view spoiler)[Any time I read about the Iron Sister I just want to learn more about them. I NEED A BOOK ALL ABOUT THEM. AGAIN. PLEASE. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Finished: (view spoiler)[So throughout the book we realize how terrible the Clave was to people and then somehow became a bit better in certain scenarios? Eh, they still seem like asshole to me. Also I still enjoyed the notes and I'm also a bit confused as to why this was the end of the list when it came to reading the books in whatever order.

Mostly because Simon is a vampire in this.. so yeah, color me confused. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 12 (view spoiler)[ Grace is awful, is she using a compulsion spell or what? Why does she need a husband so badly?
It kind of seems like Matthew likes Lucy, but I think she only sees him as a brother so I don't know. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah what's her deal??

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Alaina wrote: "12: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah what's her deal??"

She's crazy..

[Aly]

LOL

[Aly]

ch 17 (view spoiler)[ So Matthew is bisexual. I wonder who he'll end up with?? I think Thomas and Alastair should get together, I liked their time in Paris.
And did Lucy call those ghosts to save Cordelia? Maybe she can bring Jesse back alive or something so they can be together? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "ch 17 ..."

Or.. hear me out.. Jesse can stay a ghost and Lucy can find someone else to love?!?!?

[Aly]

I mean, maybe. But that's not as fun

I can't with him

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Finished: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, they're pretending to each other not to be in love but Magnus isn't fooled. They'll stay married FOREVER. And I'm happy Magnus has taken an interest in Matthew, maybe he can help him figure things out (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm glad James and Cordelia are getting married, they're so in love!
I am sad for Thomas that he heard the terrible things Alastair said about him and his family and I really hope they can make up. I think they might make a good couple.
And Matthew needs help, good thing Magnus has arrived to sort everything out. He's the hero we deserve (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

YES

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "
Finished .."

Yeah they cute but honestly anything with Magnus will make me happy lol

[Aly]

Magnus is the best and I love that he's in all of the books. He must be the author's favorite character

Uh, he should be and if he isn't.. then we need to riot
