Would give me incentive to keep reading the series."

I think so as well in paperback I have the first 4 and then in the Infernal Deives I have the first 2. And others i have are on kindle...
so I would be fine to read a book every 2 to 3 weeks...

[Gaea]

I'm still stuck on chapter 5 of this. Price of starting late, I guess, lol. Although for once I've been writing my thoughts as they come for each chapter. I definitely already have some.. opinions XD

[Bopeep]

Also Ivm in to read the mortal instruments series! When do you want to start? I'll be kinda busy this week but I don't mind reading at my own pace haha

I've read chapter 17 and (view spoiler)[hated it haha That forced romance/kiss, the shitty words they all say... Ugh.
I hope Clary and Jace get together because they deserve each other - and not in the good way hahahha

Buuut I was surprised with where the cup was! You were right haha I would never think about it. Now let's see what Dorotea thinks about giving it...

Also I have another theory... That maybe Hodge is a traitor, but I'm not sure about that, though I do love sage characters. (hide spoiler)]

[Bopeep]

Oh wow. Wooow. I know I've ranted about chapter 17 but those final pages were good. I loved Luke's story, by the way! I think it was my favorite chapter. And I like the adults story more than the teenagers one haha But that's my problem, because I love sage characters and usually adults are more experienced thatn teens.

(view spoiler)[Well, 2 out of 3 good theories isn't bad! Haha but I would never guessed Jace was Valentine's son. It shocked me! Though I don't see their kisses as incest, they didn't know who they were back then, so... I want to know what will happen now, if there would be more romantic-attraction or Clary would maybe see Simon as he is?

After the last events I forgot Alec was about to die lol But I knew he was alive because I spoiled myself and read the synopsis of a later book :P
I hope to see more of Magnus and Isabelle. I like them a lot! Specially Isabelle, thou I'm not sure she will have a lot of protagonism... *sigh*
(hide spoiler)]

Well, when do you want to start reading the next book? Hahaha We can start next week (though I have to study a lot :c) if you like!

Sorry I've been MIA these past few days! I was reallllllllly busy with work. I'm down to start whenever!

[Ilse]

I can’t start until the third of July, so you guys can start without me and I’ll try and catch up! I really liked it and I’m glad I’m finally reading the rest of the series (I’ve only ever read book one I think).

[[deleted user]]

We can wait for you! I would hate for you to miss out on it!

[Bopeep]

Hello~
@Ilse, we will be officially doing it from 1st to 5th but you can jump in when you can/want!
Sometimes I commented on a BR two weeks after they finished hahaha
Or we can start on the 3rd and finish it on 7 ^^

[Rosina]

Hi I am good for starting on the third as well.....never without a book to read....just juggle them around according to dates....

[Ilse]

Could we maybe all start on the third? Idk that’d be the most fun, but it’s understandable if we can’t!

Works for me!!

[[deleted user]]

I’m good for the third!

[Ilse]

Great!!

[Bopeep]

Works for me too ^^
I don't want to bother Mina more about the date haha, so even if in our BR says the 1st we can start on the 3rd without problem.

[Ilse]

Haha that’s understandable, she does so much already!
