Please join us this month in reading City of Bones by Cassandra Clare!

City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare

Synopsis: 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. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a 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. . . .

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

You don't have to participate in the Group Read - it's entirely up to you, but if you read the book along with us or have already read it, we would love to hear your comments, questions, thoughts, ect. That's what makes the Group Read fun! Please keep from posting too many spoilers early in the month, though, as people might still be reading it. If you feel that you might "spoil" a part of the book by commenting, be sure to put something like "***Spoiler Alert***" or something to let others know to read at their own risk! And make sure to have fun!

Just got my copy from the library today. Can't wait to get started!


Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Just started it today and I'm already a fifth of the way through. The sarcasm most of the characters use amuse me. Lol.


Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Just finished City of Bones today! It was awesome and I'm definitely going to be reading the others. Some of the twists were a little predictable, but the ending was still great. Can't wait to see what you all think!


Carmen This is my favourite series!! I love jace :D


Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Lol, I love it too! It devoured my soul until I finished all the books. XD


Carmen Tell me when you finish them and we can discuss them :D


Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
I've finished TMI for the moment, but I haven't started TID yet. :(


Carmen Im wainting for clockwork princess it comes out here in four days


Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Ah, that's right. I'm sure you'll love it! Than on to the Bane Chronicles. ;D


Carmen Have the second book come out yet?


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments I can't say about you Brit but I didn't like TID much more than TMI. I just read those cuz of Will :D He's totally amazing, just like Jace and very sarcastic. Although its good to read it because it links with TMI. They all are the ancestors of characters of TMI. I liked it cuz of the ancestral history it showed. I felt there was a bit of less adventure. Just remember "Demon Pox" you'll stumble across that word many times which'll make you laugh.


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments @Carmen I've read Clockwork Princess. It'll answer all your questions. Best one in the series so far. Epic finale ;)


Carmen I already know the final because a girl in my class spoiled it for me >:|


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Crap!! That's so not cool. :( :/


Carmen Yeah i know... :(


Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
I hate it when that happens. >.<


SHINY | 339 comments I read City of bones last Summer and it was awesome! I think you guys will just love it.


Carmen Me too... But im still going to read it


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments @Shiny Have you read the other books in the series?


Carmen Did you know that they're writing the scrip fot clockwork angel?? Im so happy


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Yeah I heard. I'm soooooo excited. Can't wait to see Victorian Era rather than imagining :P


Carmen I want to know who will be will ahahahahaha


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Yeah. Totally. He needs to be awesome because "many who have gazed upon his face have compared it with the radiance of sun" ;) :D


Carmen xDD cassie said that she wouldnt mind if he's damon from vampire diaries


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Oh I would. He's good as Damon but as a Will. Nu uhhh. He should be Douglas Booth. Most of the fan made trailers on YouTube have him as Will and he totally suits the character. Check out if you haven't seen any trailer yet.


Carmen Uhhh he will be also a good will :P


Carmen What do you think about jamie as jace?


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Ugh not at all suitable. He's so fugly. I'm my imagination Jace was very handsome and he isn't :(


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Whaddya say bout him? Is he any good according to u?


Carmen I imagine jace as alex pettyfer... I dont like him eithee

I second this notion. :(


Carmen I hope taht cassie is right about him beeing like jace in personality but i would have chosen anoter actor


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments That's exactly what I thought they'll prefer for movies. Now if other instalments will also come out then we'll have to endure him for five more movies. Alex Pettyfer would have been so good as Jace.


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments But the worst thing is other 5 movies!!!!!! CoG was my fav. Can't think of him as Jace. ;( :'(


Carmen At first they hace chosen alex but he turn it down because he disnt want to do more YA films and then he did the casting for four (divergent) bit they didnt choose him


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments You know what I wanted him as Tobias/Four too. But they chose someone who is so old. He's 28. Can't remember the name of the actor but he looks very old as Tobias. ;(
They're doing in justice to the most amazing books :'(


Carmen When i saw he was casting for the role of four i thought that at least he will be in the film of a book i like. I loved him as four in i am number four


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Yep me too. Too bad he's not in any of those.


Carmen :(


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments But it's rumoured that Lauren Kate wants him as Daniel Grigori for Fallen movies. If that happens then I'll be very happy. He's exactly what I imagined Daniel even before I saw Alex. And Fallen series is my fav and first YA books. :D


Carmen Yes i have read that a long time ago but i thought that they didnt choose him. He'll be a great daniel :D


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Yep. The cast isn't confirmed yet but still he's the one in news as Daniel and Lucy Hale as Lucinda ;)


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) I'm still on the third book.
The first book didn't really impressed me that much. but it was good.


Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments CoG is the best one. Its my fav one in the series.
