I totally and completely would have been willing to get up when my alarm went off; however, my phone who had a reliable 2 bars before bed died during the night which caused me to wake up about 3 hours later than planned. Your the first I've shared my failure with. Well...Charley can't tell time, and plus I know him, we won't tell anyone. He's completely reliable like that. Woof Charley, woof.
I just read an email saying the third book to a series I've been reading has come in-so as soon as I'm done writing this post I'm speeding off to the Library. Advantage to waking up late, everything is already open.The three books are called:
City of Bones (When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the
Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a
murder — much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with
strange tattoos and
brandishing bizarre weapons. Clary knows she should call the
police, but it's hard to explain a murder when the body disappears into
thin air and the murderers are
invisible to everyone but Clary.
Equally startled by her ability to see them, the murderers
explain themselves as Shadowhunters: a secret tribe of warriors
dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty-four hours,
Clary's mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a
grotesque demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like
Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The
Shadowhunters would like to know....)
City of Ashes (Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But
what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is
in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders
like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the
Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend,
Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world
isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating,
newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is
to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane,
certainly evil — and also her father.
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder
children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he
trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the
Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to
investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine
if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their
father?
In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare
lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York City's
Downworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest
temptation.)
City of Glass (To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the
ancestral home of the Shadowhunters — never mind that entering the
city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could
mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want
her there, and her best friend, Simon, has been thrown in prison by
the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can
withstand sunlight. As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in
mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full
force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only
chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But
can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work
together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for
Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City
— whatever the cost.
Love is a mortal sin and the secrets of the past prove deadly as Clary
and Jace face down Valentine in the final installment of the New York
Times bestselling The Mortal Instruments.)
They're pretty good books. I thought the second was better than the first, so maybe the third will be better than the second. Then I think a fourth one just recently came out...Well I be darned there is a fourth one!
City of Fallen Angles
(Who will fall in love, and who will find their relationship
torn apart?
Who will betray everything they ever
believed in?
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge.
In the heart-pounding fourth installment of the
Mortal Instruments series,
the stakes are higher
than ever.)
Gosh there's 6 books total and the 5th one will come out next May, and the final book won't be coming out till 2013. That's not fair.
Sorry for the promotion of the books-I was only thinking of your reading enjoyment. Now,
To the library, HO!
