City of Bones

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

It's been so long since I have read MI.. Clary will definitely do anything to get Jace back... so would Alec, or Isabelle.. even Simon would.

[Karina]

Yes I agree. It's hard to forget that Sebastian Is her brother!

So right now I'm on page 36..it's pretty intriguing. I have a feeling I'm going to like Simon since he's really sarcastic and a nerd lol. He's also pretty funny too! Love when he said
“Jesus!" "Actually, it's just me. Although I've been told the resemblance is startling."

Nothing much has happened so far but i'm interested in seeing what occurs next in the book!

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

I'm re-reading city of bones!!

[Michele, The bookoholic!]

Cassandra Clare named Clary after herself right?

Kind of annoying if that's true :P

[Karina]

I love Simon!

I actually don't know whether that is true or not...I'm going to find out.

Same! i'm not a big fan of Jace though. He seems like a jerk like Patch from Hush hush!

[Karina]

Well I like both Patch and Jace for various reasons but I think the whole being a jerk is just an act to protect themselves.
But I just love Simon...I always have a thing for the nerdy type haha (:

I couldn't find whether it was true or not that she named Clary after herself and it seems like it might be true but Clary is short for Clarissa...so I'm not sure. But I think she put a lot of herself into the character

[Michele, The bookoholic!]

IDK clare is very similiar to clare! I guess it doesn't really matter. I like how each character is very developed and they all have very different personalities!

[Karina]

I read a review today and it said this: "Now, on to the shit list:
First off, it’s so painfully obvious that this, like Stephanie Meyer’s literary abortion, is a story written by a fat nerdy girl who is so bored with her mundane existence that she writes herself into a “kick-ass” romantic fantasy. And makes her self the pretty teenager she never was. I mean, seriously. Cassandra Clare writes a novel about a girl named CLARY? Cellophane isn’t that transparent. Especially when Clary constantly reminds us that she’s a fiery redhead (guess who else is!)."....the person gave it two stars -_-

Yeah I loved that about it!!

[Madeleine]

Oh. My. Freaking. Dragon.

Rude doesnt even begin to cover it. It was biased and cruel and......lord i am sooo mad right now.

[Karina]

I know right?!! The entire review is like that!!

[Madeleine]

I get that there are haters in the world,but that was more than hate. Thay was slamming for the sake of slammimg. Does he like amything? Or is he just against everything that is succesful?

[Karina]

I didn't realize he was a member here on GR....someone said that they agreed to everything he said but calling Clare "nerdy fat girl" was hitting below the belt and he replied with "I can be harsh"

If he didn't like the book he didn't have to say anything at all or at least not been cruel about it...hate reviews like that. Yeah I get that not everyone is going to love it but there is a mature and respectful way of giving an opinion and what he said was cruel rude and unnecessary

Wow...I dislike Simon and love Jace and Patch! So different o.o

[Michele, The bookoholic!]

Really I love Simon! Jace seems awesome now. I liked Patch near the end of Hush Hush. At first, I found him really arrogant and rude.

“Is Church the cat in TMI the same cat as in ID?”

I guess it’s time to come clean. Church the cat in The Mortal Instruments is actually Tessa.

I can’t speak about the tragic events at the end of Clockwork Princess, but let’s just say that Tessa is left alone to fend for herself. She’s learned to transform into animals as well as people so she transforms into Church and hitches a ride with Magnus when he emigrates to New York. Disguised as a cat, she is safe from Mortmain and his evil minions, so she stays that way and moves into the Institute when she hears the Lightwoods are taking over since she remembers Gideon fondly, despite the incident with the hurdy-gurdy that made Sophie realize she could never love him.

When the Mortal War breaks out and the Lightwoods all leave Church behind Tessa realizes she still owes the Shadowhunters loyalty and follows Magnus to Idris to take part in the battle. That’s why she has her human form in the scene where Clary glimpses her at the end of Glass. The reason she looks familiar to Clary is that she has not completely transformed back and still has cat ears.

Also, many have asked what she and Magnus are discussing. Tessa knows Magnus owns a cat and is hoping he can convince the Lightwoods to change their brand of dry cat food.

[Courtney]

Well that's certainly an interesting way of putting it...

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

It was an April Fools Joke by Cassandra Clare!

[Courtney]

Why couldn't I figure that out myself?? Geeze...

[Michele, The bookoholic!]

Good book! I just finished it! I rated it 4 out of 5 stars.

[Madeleine]

Only 4? Girl, these are all top notch 5 star books. What qualifies it to be a 4?????

[Karina]

I was about to ask as well haha

Lol sorry I just really didn't ike the ending. Thought it was very corny and there really wasn't a cliffhanger. Also, the whole Jace and Clary maybe being sibilings was just too weird.

[Madeleine]

I know. I almost started screamimg when i read that. Will you read CoA?

[Courtney]

Prepare yourself, all TMI books have cliffhangers...

[Madeleine]

Makes me wonder how CoLS will end...

[Michele, The bookoholic!]

Im deff reading coa!

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

I love CoA!!

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Sony has announced City of Bones will be released in theaters: August 23rd, 2013!
