I Didn't Die!

I promise I'm still here. I was on Spring Vacation and thought I'd take a break from posting. I haven't stopped Reading though! I've finished six more books and will be posting very soon.

8 down, 92 to go! Oh Boy...

So I'm really feeling the crunch. I should have read about twenty books by now but I've only finished a measly seven! I blame those forever long Cassandra Clare books. No...I blame myself. I'm seriously kicking it into high gear tonight and I will finish my new book Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (the second book of the Shopaholic series) by tonight! I've read about five chapters in about an hour so I hope to finish soon.

On to Clockwork Angel. It was a good book and had waaay less drama than Cassandra's previous books. The book is about this girl Tessa who moves from New York to London to live with her brother. She gets off the boat and is captured by these two warlock sisters with evil intent. They force her to use her shape-shifting talent, which she didn't know about, so that she can "marry" the Magistrar. Shadowhunters rescue her and they help her find her lost brother in which the Magistrar has kidnapped. She has two love interests in the story one being the lovely, secretive Will and the other the sick, understanding Jem. In short she learns of her dark past and what she really is all while saving her brother and herself from the Magistrar. The book has a surprise ending that I DID NOT see coming. I rarely make exclamations of surprise when reading but this is the second time EVER that I screamed, "No wayyyy!!!" I most definitely look forward to the second book which will be released this September.

As I mentioned earlier I am reprising the Shopahilic series. I have already read the first so I decided to start with the second and moving on from there. 92 books to go!

Finished City of Glass

So I finished City of Glass like two days ago but I just got my wifi to work recently so I am now able to peruse the internet! Yes, my internet was down for a while and I was majorly p.o'd but it's working now.

Ok, City of Angels was again very, very long. In Cassandra Clare's books there is a lot of action and a lot goes down per book. I guess that's why it took me so long to finish it since after every hurdle I felt like I needed a break from reading. Well the book was great as usual. A lot of questions were answered but even more were raised (ughhh). I really wish I could write every detail of the book but it's a really long storyline and I hate being a spoiler. I will however give the gist of the book.

Basically Clary and the gang have to travel to Idris, land of the Shadowhunters, and find a way to defeat the evil Valentine. Keep in mind that Valentine was married to her mother and is father to her and her brother/love Jace. Through out the three books its apparent that they may not be siblings but the truth is always evaded and they can not act on their feelings. Well they all travel to Idris and they meet some people, pasts are revisited and anticipation is in the air . (I'm really trying to not say anything) A big fight between demons, downworlders and shadowhunters arise and I will neither confirm nor deny if Valentine is defeated or not. Again many questions are answered, Clary has a great power, Jace has a great power, Who is Sebastian?!?, and much much more....

Please read the series for yourself. I felt as if these three books were suffice because the end of the third book  seemed like a good place to stop but I learned that there will be three more books in the series. The fourth installment  is going to be released in April.

I am now reading another Cassandre Clare which is a prequel to this series. It is called Clockwork Angels and will also be another series of books. 94 books to go!
