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!
