Prerelease Tagline of 'Everything Changes' had me worried. Did something I never do. Skipped ahead & read the last Chapter.

***Spoilers - Had to know if all my favorite characters we're safe. Whole Last Chapter was full of goodness for the Shadowhunter gang. And much much #Malec love. Alec Lightwood knows how to plan a surprise.***

Sooo enjoyed reread knowing this ending was coming. ❤💛💚💙💜

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 77

5/5 for the last in this trilogy! Wow what an ending to this trilogy! I enjoyed it! I love all the details of each storyline. I feel like there could be another story though. Emma is such an amazing character. She is strong and bold! I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Hello everyone!
Regarding my currently reading book/series, I must say I just found out I haven't read #theinfernaldevices series (3 books) which are before #thedarkartifices -the one I'm reading now- 🤭 I'm so excited because I love them. I love Magnus and Alec stories and it seems like this other series it's all about them so Yay!
🌼📖🌼
Happy Sunday reading everyone. Take care of your self, it's the most valuable we have.

How is this Thursday painting so far?

-Remember it's with your brushes and imagination the art of your life is done!💙

As I read this Cassandra Clare's book I realized how time has passed by, and how youth make you feel like you have the power and nothing bad can happen to you or the ones you care.

Happy Reading🌼📖🌼

(Obviously I had a lot of time in bed yesterday LOL)

Wednesday is here, my body apparently doesn't care, it still wants to keep resting, hasn't been good days for me, of course I'm trying my best, sometimes even doing more than the body feels like. I believe I have the power! So, trying to stay positive I will try to read as much as I can YAY! Let's read!!!! 🌼📖🌼
BTW, this beautiful painting by Laura Lacambra, captures exactly how my mind and body feels.

It was so great to be back in the Shadowhunter world. When I first picked up this behemoth I thought it would take me forever to get through but I should have known better. Once I was back in I couldn‘t put the book down, I had to know what was going to happened next. There were times I had to remind myself that these characters were teenagers and kids who live a very adult life but doesn‘t mean they are adults.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It snowed so the city is closed and I decided to get some more reading in.

I haven‘t realized there was art inbetween the pages of this book! I love getting a glimpse at the scenes being described.

I bought this book used from Powell‘s I think last year but hadn‘t realized the spine was damaged until I took the cover off to read it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Thanks for any tips!

Always love dipping into the shadow hunter world. The pictures drawn in the books were beautiful!!! On to the next series.

Yet again another fantastic read. The only two things i will say is that after the big battle i felt the ending was a little too drawn out. Also am i to assume Jace and Clary will be getting another series following thay cliffhanger? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am so glad to finish this series. Another great trilogy from Cassandra Claire. Now I can move on to the Infernal Devices. #bookseries

BOOKS I READ IN MARCH

I enjoyed all the books I read in March, there were not that would really dissapoint me or where I would regret purchasing them.
My favourite has to be Theft of Swords, it was such a fun and despite its 650 pages quick read. I loved the characters and the warm narrator's tone with which he descibed the world.

I had a feeling the book could have been shorter, the first half dragged a bit too much for me. The second half of the book made up for that with a lot of scenic fights that always have a very cinematic feel to them. On the other hand I feel like all the Shadowhunter series have a very similar storyline in terms of the plot and love interests. I still enjoyed it but I expected a but more from the Dark Artifices.

I loved this shadowhunters novel. Fantastic twists and really action packed. It was great to see Cassandra Clare choosing LGBTQ characters and incorporating so well into the story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for this series as a whole since I didn‘t have time to write individual reviews. This series was my favorite of hers so far!

I love the characters. I love all the love interests. I love the fighting. My favorite character in this world (Magnus Bane 🤩😍) was not in the action much due to the warlocks becoming sick from the blight. I need another book that is only focused on Magnus, Alex, and their family. Please and thank you Ms. Clare.

Pleased with my time - 11:41

1. Physical. I use my Kindle sparingly.
2. Most of my books come from the library.
3 and 4. I started Audible for my Christmas. I've listened to two so far.
@laurenslibrary

Looking forward to it. I'm thinking of my stack and snacks. 🤔😊 @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid @jb72

New books 🥰. Belated Christmas gifts to myself! I have been wanting the Dorothy Roberts book for sometime. Also, why is the Cassie Clare book sooooo long (btw I don‘t like this trilogy 🤷🏾‍♀️). #cassieclare #books #reader #needacquistions

Happy new year, litsy land! Here's my year in reading as reviewed by Goodreads. But I read a lot of comic books too so it's prob a bit more than that. It was a fine year for catching up on #backlistbooks and discovering new writers. Here's to a grand reading year for 2020 🤭

It's been a great year.

I really enjoyed this whole series. I'm glad I waited until the third book was out before reading any of them because I just devoured them all. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not too bad this year. My goal was 155 and I wasn't sure if I was going to make that because I started University full time this year but I managed to exceed my goal by over 100 books. That would be thanks to audiobooks (which I haven't used since Robert Munsch books when I was a kid) and the 80ish graphic novels/comic issues I read this year.

Another new book started during my overnight “excursion” 📚🎶 So, although the rest of the night was effectively a waste of time...I finally started this lol 😭😴. Now to mess up the rest of my day, I‘m off to bed & I hope this doesn‘t completely flip my schedule upside down.

This is probably my least favorite of Clare's shadowhunter novels thus far. It was an 900 page book, and was 300 pages too long. Despite that, I love this world and it is fun to see favorite characters. This book also set things up for another shadowhunter series which is always exciting!

Magnus Bane winking at me is on my fictional bucket list. *swoon* 😍

What's on yours?

Happy Monday!

The artwork in this book is 😍😍😍😍

After working a full shift and then going to a golf tournament, I really wanted a #bookandbath to unwind. But my book is too big for bath time reading, so I am settling for #bookandcorndogandfacemask.

Finally starting the most recent addition to TDA after being out of the country for so long. I only just started Lady Midnight last week and haven‘t been able to put this series down. Excited to see what happens!

I‘ll keep reading Clare‘s books because they‘re generally enjoyable with decent characters, but I do think this trilogy was her weakest. And this final book was SO LONG. A couple hundred pages easily could have been edited out. I get that there were whole plot threads in service to a storyline for a future book, but I‘m going to entirely forget these before the next one comes out. 😒

So, this is exciting & fun for the most part, some of the scenes really did grip me, either the thrill of battle or shock at someone‘s actions or death. And the writing here is def stronger than other CC series. But. TOO DAMN LONG. I don‘t mind a long book but this did not need to be nearly 900 pages. A lot could‘ve been cut w/o hurting the plot. And a lot felt repetitious. But she‘s gonna do what she wants b/c she knows she‘s got us, LOL. 3/5 ⭐️

Agreed on both points!

#MayScavengerHunt
✅With more than 300 pages (this one has 800+ pages, so definitely over 😆)
✅With a non human characters (yup faeries & demon)
✅With a shiny cover (sorry about the bad photo but it's really very shiny😁)
✅Is part of a series (this is book 3 but also book 14 of the whole #Shadowhunters series)
✅Has a blue cover
✅Where a character dies {spoilers}

P.S. I've posted what I thought about this book few posts back if you're interested 😊

LOLOL

“The world can change so quickly,“ Jia said. “One day the future seems hopeful, and the next day clouds of hate and bigotry have gathered as if blown in from some as yet unimagined see.“

[#November2016thoughts]

“What hurts more,” Magnus asked, “the love or the hate?”

Taking advantage of the 3-day weekend by finally diving into this massive fucking tome. Look at the size of it from the side!! Feel like I‘m gonna be exhausted just from holding it 😬

I finally finished this trilogy! I don‘t know if it‘s because I‘m a little older now or because The Mortal Instruments is really better, but I preferred TMI to this series. However, I still loved the characters, the witty banter, and the way that everything always comes together beautifully in the end.

#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

Yay! Finished this 800+ pages whithout breaking my wrist! The last book of this series. Love Cassandra Clare's #Shadowhunters World building and the characters she created. #TDA has most diverse characters than others, but sad to say, I'm a little disappointed with the overall plot & this one is probably the weakest final book compare to her other series. Nonetheless, can't wait to dive into her next one 🙌🏼 4/5 read.
