The Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare -> Restarting on September 1st, 2020

[aarja]

Even I'm late...
Though I'll read City of Bones only after October 1...

[Alaina]

18%: (view spoiler)[Wow, wow, wow. It has been forever since I dove into this book/series. I'm not sure how I never noticed the bantering between Alec and Jace before but I'm all for it. I'm wondering what's going to happen once they go back to the institute because can't Alec feel when Jace is in pain? Or is that all in my head right now. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

39%: (view spoiler)[Omg that falcon story is so sad. I'm sure I would've cried if I was in the same situation. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

67%: (view spoiler)[Interesting on how Valentine didn't really say anything to Clary, like hello daughter or something. Does he not know she is his? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

ugh, my ebook ended at 87%.. why do books do that to me. I don't need sneak peaks.

Finished: (view spoiler)[I always forget about Valentine telling Jace he is his father. Not sure why he just automatically accepts it because it's Valentine. He's completely manipulative and I'm glad that Clary keeps saying Valentine whenever Jace says my father. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

What?! I hate that. I finally finished all my August buddy reads so I'll be starting City of Bones asap!

[Alaina]

UGH I KNOW! I'm hoping no other book betrays me like that (this week)

[Aly]

Yes. Please don't put 2-3 chapters of the next book at the end of the story. So irritating

[Alaina]

Yeah I just don't get it.

[Kelly]

Ch 6 - (view spoiler)[I've never read anything by Casssandra Clare so I have zero knowledge of what is going to happen, who are going to be together, but I'm curious to find out. (hide spoiler)]

[aarja]

Now, I need to start.

LOL I love this! I can't believe you've never read a book of hers before! I'm excited to see what you think.

Yes, come join us!

Though, I have a busy month. I will have to start after 1st October
:'(

[Aly]

I'm getting the audiobook and starting book 1 tomorrow

[Kim]

Forgot I was doing BR for this!
Lord of Shadows 68%
(view spoiler)[ I’m really enjoying these different storylines. Not that you didn’t get this from other series but I feel like this shows so many more points of view during the timeline (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Why do Jace, Alec, and Isabel have British accents in the audiobook? Why??

[Alaina]

HAHAHAHA wait what? Really?

[Aly]

Yeah and the narrator changes like 3 times throughout the 6 books so I probably won't listen to the other ones. I'll suck it up and read the physicals...

[Alaina]

I couldn’t find the ebook version for book 2 so I have the audio. I’ll let you know what they sound like when I start it 😂😂

[Aly]

Yes please do! I know book 6 is narrated by Sophie Turner so Clary will be British lol

[Aly]

Oh no. The dreaded "let out a breath she didn't know she was holding"

[Alaina]

[Kelly]

I only have the audios so maybe I'm making a mistake ^^

[Alaina]

Kelly wrote: "I only have the audios so maybe I'm making a mistake ^^"

lol you never know!

[Aly]

The girl's regular voice is okay and once you get used to the British accent it isn't bad. I'm curious if the next narrator will still do the accent or not.

[Aly]

ch 6 (view spoiler)[ Jace is a douche lol. And it's crazy that Clary doesn't realized that Simon is in love with her. This is going by pretty quickly (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Kelly wrote: "

That's crazy! I loved these books when I was younger but there are so many that I've only read a small portion

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "ch 6 [spoilers removed]"

LMAO yes he was

[Aly]

I'm going to read these in the order Cassandra Clare recommends. So it's then then the Infernal Devices trilogy. Then the second half of Mortal Instruments.

[Aly]

Kelly there's a YA thread for City of Bones if you want.

Thanks but I only participated in YA for a buddy read I had an ARC of as extra motivation to get it read :)

[Kelly]

I'll try to do the same order Aly!

[Alaina]

WAIT THERE'S AN ORDER?

[Aly]

Yes! I can't get her website links to work but this site references it and they update as books come out.

[Alaina]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit. Okay looking at it now and will most likely follow this.

[Aly]

ch 12 (view spoiler)[ Man I love Magnus. He only gets better as the series goes. Also, big revelation that Clary's mom put a block in her mind! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 18 (view spoiler)[ I felt pretty bad for Simon in that moment and even Jace was hurt. I can't imagine how Clary was so oblivious about Simon, but she needs to make it clear how she feels. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "39%: [spoilers removed]"

Yes! How terrible

[Alaina]

Starting book 2!

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "ch 12 [spoilers removed]"

YAY FOR MAGNUS!

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "ch 18 [spoilers removed]"

Eh, it happens. People are oblivious

[Alaina]

9%: (view spoiler)[God, he is such a douche sometimes. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Did you buy the audio?

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm glad Jace helped Clary. Also, they're siblings what??? LOL I remember the first time I read that part. I was so shocked (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Did you buy the audio?"

Me? No, I got it on OverDrive! Sadly, no accent.

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"
