City of Bones (Reprint) | 
pickClary Fray is just an average, normal girl, or so she always believed, until one night she witnesses a murder no one else can see. She soon discovers “all the stories are true”- werewolves, vampires, faeries, and demons exist. And what‘s more, she‘s descended from a line of Shadowhunters, half-angel warriors sworn to protect humanity from evil forces.
Diving back into the #Shadowhunter world! According to my Goodreads, I read this series 8 years ago! I‘m hoping to finish it this time around. If you‘ve read Cassie Clare before, which order did you read the series? I‘m debating on which way I want to go this time! 😁
I join in #ShadowhunterSunday Challenge on Instagram. Today's prompt is #shadowhunterstack.
Didn't set out to have 3 Copies of COB. When I ordered #LitjoyCrate gave away hodgepodge of Shadowhunter books. Kept 10th Anniversary because it's so pretty. Paperback is part of Boxed Set. Love the covers. It's my Travel Set.
My favorite Character Magnus Bane who throws Birthday Party for his cat: "Chairman Meow deserves my every effort.”?
🙌 😃 😍 😱 This was incredible!
We stood in a 4+ hr line to meet Cassandra Clare & have the book signed! She was super sweet! She signed: Cassie Clare, SO CUTE!! She wrote both our names because we only had one book at the time. LOL 😂 We almost didn't make it. They closed the line in front of us, we were about to cry, but we didn't leave. After a lot of people left, she said: Let them in, & she signed our book. She won my ❤ PERSISTENCE people!
pickA re-read for me, but I struggled with it. I was reading this books the beginning of the month 😳The first part was quite boring for me, with Jace so arrogant. But in the last 200 pages (my edition is large print) I saw more action, intrigue, magic. Imagine, I own almost the whole series, I‘m glad I liked it at the end☺️3.4/3.5⭐️
I read 249 pages during #JoyousJanuary #Readathon @Andrew65 but it will be completed this month.
Time for a re-read! It‘s been about 12 years since I read this one.
pickWOW this book was so good! Those twists at the end were so unexpected and it takes skill to have all of those and not make it sound like a soap opera. I especially enjoyed the vampire motorcycles. I thought it was a funny concept. I have to say though, the author got a Star Wars reference wrong. even so, 5🌟
pickA classic supernatural/fantasy type story with the consistent tag line that "all the stories are true" which made for an interesting reading experience. There were 2 major twists in the story that had my jaw on the floor. I finished this one and IMMEDIATELY started on the next in the series

So many good books with a supernatural theme. This is one of my favorite series. Still need to finish the series.
Reading a book on the beach in Hawaii seems like the answer to a lot of problems.
pick4.3⭐️ really enjoyed this story... looking forward to continuing the series and having multiple discussions with friends
Honestly I should‘ve been done with this book to already, but been too busy comparing and contrasting with a movie and the TV show. So far the movie seems to match better, and the TV show seem to have took in a lot of liberties. Of course, as of right now, the book is so much better.
pickI was interested in reading some Cassie Clare so researched where to start - soooo many books! This is book one and I enjoyed it. Super fast paced, I understood the world building. Unpredictable twists. Gonna be keeping going ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pick4✨ This is a re-read for me so I can read the rest of the series. I forgot everything and was surprised again at outcomes that arise. I love the world that was built and am looking forward to actually finish this series this time.
pickGreat book. Read it ages ago but forgot to do a review. Recommend the series
pickA very great start to a "new to me" series! I don't know why I waited so long to read it!!!
pickThere is also a bit of romance in this and what I loved most is that clary never hesitated to stand up to that person and call them out. Most of the time when there‘s romances, the female characters is shrunk a little bit. But clary never lost her fiestyness and herself. I liked that.
Overall I loved this book and the characters. I can‘t wait to continue on my reread and finish the rest of this series.
Full review on Goodreads
pickI have been putting off this book for the longest time and only picked it up because the #popsugar reading challenge prompt to read the book that‘s been on your TBR the longest. It was all the things I feared it would be - cheesy, predictable- but in such a charming way that I‘ve fallen in love and the series has become an instant favourite. It‘s my new go to comfort read and I have now hogged all the library copies of the rest of the books 📚😋
pickSo I read this book when it first came out when I was 19. I really liked it then. I picked it up when I was in my mid-twenties and couldn‘t finish it. I decided to give it another try this month (I have been in a reading rut not being able to finish anything I started) and let me tell you I devoured this bad boy. I have never read the rest of the series & can‘t wait. Thanks Cassandra for getting me back into the groove. Just what I needed. 🧛🏻♀️

I enjoyed this series, the original trilogy and then the second trilogy which made it a six book series! I would like to continue; love the Mortal Instruments world.
pick2nd read and I still love this series. The characters are good. The story was well plotted and hints at future books are well placed but still subtle. It‘s a joy to reread.
pickStarting to reread these books after so many years and honestly, I‘ve absolutely missed this series. Being reintroduced made me fall in love all over again with Cassandra Clare‘s work! Definitely hoping to pick up book 2 soon!

Day 12: YA Favorite
This was a tough choice. I really love the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer as well.
pickClary Fray believes she is a normal teenage girl, until her fifteenth birthday that is. She begins seeing unexplainable things like something out of a fantasy novel until it is finally revealed to her, that all the stories are true. She is thrust into the world of the Nephilim, otherwise known as the Shadowhunters, humans with angel blood tasked with secretly protecting the mundane world from demons and monsters.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/25 ◼️ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/256683 #listylovw #october2020 #octoberbookspin
pickI haven‘t been checking in as much this month due to the Halloween events. I‘m glad so many are enjoying them but scary things aren‘t for me. I have finished a few books!
City Of Bones was quite good as was The Autumn Bride. The Flatshare and The Little Book Of Hygge were meh. City Of Bones was an ebook/paperback while the others were audio.

1. Paranormal teens yelling a lot.
2. I have two: cookies and music. I don't think I've gone a day without either!
3. The Edwardian era.
#WondrousWednesday @Eggs Thank you @I.be.Stef for the tag! ☺️
I saw a tiktok recently that said TMI started out as a Ron/Ginny fanfic... and I just 🤨
Why?
Cuddling up with this novel. Hopefully you rave to me about this choice!
I need help!
I just got bookshelves put together for all of my books and um getting them all organized (which feels great) but I am not sure how I want to organize my Cassandra Clare books. Do I do it chronologically by story (ie infernal devices then mortal instruments) or chronologically by publishing date (ie MI then ID)....or alphabetically by series title?
Too many options!!

I liked this one, a teenaged girl stumbles accidentally into a world of magic and demons and learns her family history isn't quite as simple as she first thought.
I‘ve never read anything by Cassandra Clare but I‘ve been interested in her books. Then I saw today‘s post by @sprainedbrain about some of her favorite series. I guess that‘s all the prompting I need to jump right in! ☺️📚 #BlameItOnLitsy
Thrift store finds!! 15 for all 😍 I love value village. Which one should I read first.
£49 down to £15. Couldn't resist. Heard so many good things about this author. Starting to get to know her work with these. Anyone know them? I hear lots about her. @Jackal121 happy reading all 📚❤️📖
