Hahahahahaha that is hilarious Brandy.

Also, I'm almost finished - 96%. and I agree with you Nicola - (view spoiler)[My heart is breaking for Will.. (hide spoiler)]

[Louise]

I tjink the books would make an amazing movie x

[Nicola]

I'd love to see a movie too! It says on the Wikipedia page that there is a plan for one but no details on when.

[Brandy]

I wonder if they would have to cut so much that the movie would be ruined. I didn't really care for the MI movie. It was like they didn't even read the book. But then I love the HP books and movies and Hunger games. So I am on the fence.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I think if they were to make sure Cassandra Clare were involved then it may make for a good movie. That's how Hunger Games and Harry Potter were so good. The authors were there making sure things went the way the books went.

If I were an author and my book were being made into a movie I would absolutely want to be as much a part of the filming process as possible.

[Brandy]

I did finish this book up yesterday. I am kinda glad it is a short month so we can see how this bad boy ends! (view spoiler)[ Will she go through with marrying Jem or will he pass away early? Or will she end up with Will? And what about his sister just showing up?! Lots of questions and I need answers. (hide spoiler)]

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I am 1 out of 1 for the next one! :)

[Brandy]

I am trying to squeeze in a few books before the 1st. But I am ready to complete this trilogy!

Book 3 - Clockwork Princess

Danger and betrayal, love and loss, secrets and enchantment are woven together in the breathtaking finale to the #1 New York Times bestselling Infernal Devices Trilogy, prequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series.

THE INFERNAL DEVICES WILL NEVER STOP COMING

A net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. Mortmain plans to use his Infernal Devices, an army of pitiless automatons, to destroy the Shadowhunters. He needs only one last item to complete his plan: he needs Tessa Gray.

Charlotte Branwell, head of the London Institute, is desperate to find Mortmain before he strikes. But when Mortmain abducts Tessa, the boys who lay equal claim to her heart, Jem and Will, will do anything to save her. For though Tessa and Jem are now engaged, Will is as much in love with her as ever.

As those who love Tessa rally to rescue her from Mortmain’s clutches, Tessa realizes that the only person who can save her is herself. But can a single girl, even one who can command the power of angels, face down an entire army?

Danger and betrayal, secrets and enchantment, and the tangled threads of love and loss intertwine as the Shadowhunters are pushed to the very brink of destruction in the breathtaking conclusion to the Infernal Devices trilogy.

Start Date: March 1st.

Chapter 9 - (view spoiler)[Is it just me or is this book not as exciting as the clockwork prince? (hide spoiler)]

I agree Sara! (view spoiler)[ slightly disappointed! (hide spoiler)]

[Brandy]

Starting this today!

[Nicola]

I'm way behind this week but started this today! I've been looking forward to seeing how this ends :)

[Brandy]

my ipod is such a jerk. I was on chapter 6, it decided to end that part of the download and jump ahead to chapter 14.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Oh no Brandy! I hate when that happens!


I'm on Chapter 22 now (84% ish) (view spoiler)[It was a slow start at first... but it did pick up finally. The battle with Mortman and the infernal devices was good! (hide spoiler)]
Tessa: (view spoiler)[ Part demon part shadow hunter. Crazy. No wonder she didn't die when the Angel came through! (hide spoiler)]
Jem: (view spoiler)[Well it was sad that he becomes one of the silent brothers... but at least he didn't die. (hide spoiler)]

[Brandy]

I agree Sara! [spoilers removed]"
I agree with you both. Sitting at about 1/2 way. (view spoiler)[ I just hope that it is leading up to something exciting and that it truly answers the questions that the other 2 books created. totally bummed that it appears Jem is at the end, and Tessa has been whisked away to the land of evil robot creatures. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicola]

I just finished..

So many emotions! I'm pleased with the ending though.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Finished! Man that was an interesting ending.

Tessa: [spoilers removed]
Jem: [spoilers removed]"

Jem: (view spoiler)[ He didn't die but he also cannot marry now. Nor can he be with Will. Bittersweet. (hide spoiler)]
I just love Magnus. He is one of my favorites in all the books.
Tess: (view spoiler)[ Who knew she was going to be such a bad a**? (hide spoiler)]

Hahahahaha Right? I agree with everything you said. And Magnus is my favorite in both series.

[Brandy]

You know there is still more to this shadow hunter world. The Bane Chronicles Anyone game?

[Brandy]

son of a *&^% my ipod just totally froze and I can't listen to the end of the book! This is so not right! (&&%786%^&@@!$^@( Pardon the language.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Brandy wrote: "You know there is still more to this shadow hunter world. The Bane Chronicles Anyone game?"

We can read this one as well if you all would like to continue our Shadow Hunter journey!

And no! Are you able to listen in your phone or anything?

[Brandy]

no, I bought the book on Itunes not audible, so I don't have that linked to my phone. I was able to unfreeze the ipod however there is something wrong with the book itself. it keeps skipping from 1.37 minutes left to the end. I can't do a rewind, it just hates this book. So when I get home I am going to have a chat with apple and get my money back. I might need to see if my library has it in stock!

[Brandy]

finally after all the hassle I was able to finish.

That was a fun trilogy. Good ending I can live with that.

One question in the MI did Tess make an appearance? I am wracking my brain and I can't remember.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

You know... I don't think she ever did. I was trying to think about it the entire time I was listening to these books.
I start Lost Souls soon... maybe she gets mentioned later in the series... but until now I don't believe so.

[Brie]

Finished! It was a really good ending and a great series, came full circle indeed.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

FYI - for those of you of read the Mortal Instruments series:

Shadowhunters

[Brandy]

oh sweet

[Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse]

I love this trilogy. It was easy to read, the characters were great, and the Downworld is such an interesting idea. The ending was totally unexpected, and very different than what I have come to expect in YA.

[Brie]

Uh oh... .... :)

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Brie wrote: "Uh oh... .... :)"

Haha I saw that too!

[Brie]

It could be good! I'd have to read the last MI before hand though. I vaguely remember Emma and Julian.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

So it looks like there going to be at least 3 books in this series. We can definitely read this one together too. If you want, we can wait a little and read them closer together. Let me know what you think.

[Brandy]

I agree on waiting until the next gets closer

[Brie]

Same here, we've got a pretty good line up so far.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Sounds good. I'll add it for now but with a to-read date as TBD. that way we don't forget we want to read it.

[Stephanie]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this series!! I like this series better then Mortal Instruments. But I did like Mortal Instruments too. I am excited for the Dark Artifices to be complete so I can read them too!
