Lately, I’ve been frequenting the Nest Book Club message board, and it has again sparked my love of reading.
I’ve found many, many great books over the last few weeks from the ladies over there and I’ve decided to start writing reviews of the many books I read.
This is the first of those reviews.
But first, I have an admission to make: I *love* young adult fiction. Particularly, supernatural fiction.
Remember this post, when I waxed poetic about my love of vampires?
I picked up City of Bones by Cassandra Clare on Sunday. I *could not* put it down.
It was a great, quick read. I liked that the “supernatural”-ism of the book was nontraditional — I’ve read books about vampires and fairies and werewolves *plenty.*
And there are those beings in this book, too.
But the main focus is on Shadowhunters (aka Demon Killers).
I liked that I got to see a new world and learn about new things.
The story takes place in New York and focuses on your average teenage girl with a guy best friend who dotes on her.
Clary’s first clue that she is not as normal as she seems occurs when sees a trio of Shadowhunters (who are invisible to all the other humans around).
Her mother is kidnapped and Clary is whisked away into a part of this world that she never knew existed.
The characters are easy to relate to and I was intrigued by the mysterious, hunky Jace.
I won’t give too much away, but the story focuses on Clary’s efforts to save her mother and uncover her true identity.
It’s action-packed, with a bit of romance tied in. Just how I like it.
This is the first book of four in the Mortal Instruments series.
I highly recommend it!
Nice post!
I know what it is you are attempting to imply and your point does make sense but I can’t say I completely concur with you.
You see, there might be some complications when it comes to the issues
you’ve mentioned. Nevertheless, I love the time you spent in explaining
your opinion. I’m interested in this subject and will definitely dig
deeper into the problem, though it is going to require me to devote some time
looking for current data and reading scholar posts.
You did a excellent job! This post sound quite nice.
I’ve read the post with fantastic satisfaction and also could know something brand new I will use for my further requirements.

I liked the report and assume you’ve got more such stuff?
If so, so please note it as it’s somewhat uncommon for me at the current
instant, and not for me, that is my opinion.
