Yeah shes trying to sound all Gangstah!

OK, time to revive this thread

Not really comparing YA to a show but to this book series that I read The Mortal Instruments which had quite a few things in it that reminded me of YA, and no I wont say what things cause they're like spoilers so you're just gonna have to read the books to find out

You can start with book one: City of Bones

You're such a tease!

You know how slow I am with reading books...!

street serenade · 06-28-2009, 08:52 AM

Okay. Adds The Mortal Instruments to my booklist. The title already intrigued me, so I might just buy a hard copy on whim

s e r e n i t y · 06-28-2009, 01:37 PM

Ooh yay you'll love it Nicole, Ive been dying to compare YA to it so I cant wait until you guys read it

Anja - its a reallly fast read

The Mortal Instruments? the one written by Cassandra Clare, right? hmmmm...I've read the plot, seems nothing like YA...now you got me curious, definitely will read the books now...

s e r e n i t y · 07-08-2009, 07:13 AM

Oh my, it's written by Cassandra Claire? Nicky always used to tell me how amazing Cassandra's Harry Potter fanfics were.

s e r e n i t y · 07-08-2009, 01:15 PM

She's got Harry Potter fanfics?

Must check those out

See Anja, another reason why you should start reading right away

wolkenfuehlen · 07-08-2009, 02:31 PM

Yeah, I started reading the HP stuff a while back and it was pretty good.

No pressure, you know how slow I am when it comes to reading! I still haven't started VD book 2.

s e r e n i t y · 07-11-2009, 12:51 PM

Well these are real fast reads, you got through the first VD book in a day didnt you? come ooooon you just have to start them

you know... when you have the time

wolkenfuehlen · 07-12-2009, 07:20 AM

I will start them asap. I have three exams next week and a presentation due on Thursday, and after that I'll read the rest of VD.

s e r e n i t y · 07-12-2009, 07:39 AM

Hope the exam and presentation go well, and Ill hand in my assignment on thursday, read more books and then bug you guys into reading those too

wolkenfuehlen · 07-12-2009, 11:11 AM

So we're both "free" after Thursday?

On another note, I sort of rewatched parts of Veronica Mars season 1, and Veronica/Duncan reminded me of Bella/Scout again.

s e r e n i t y · 07-12-2009, 12:43 PM

Yup, both free after thursday

Oh Veronica Mars, still havent aired the second season here

but Duncan and Veronica are definately like Bella and Scout though you know they dont really have them pining over each other when they think/find out they're related cause you know Veronica is so obviously meant to be with Logan
