30 Days of The Mortal Instruments
Okay, so normally, I wouldn't do one of these challenges, but I seriously love this book series and kind of believe everyone should read it. So, if anyone ends up reading it after my babbling on it for 30 days, all the better. There probably will be spoilers though. So you are officially warned in advance and I will cut them ahead of time with labels. I've made alterations on the meme since it came out a year ago, it wasn't super evenly spread among the characters and City of Fallen Angels was not out then. It's been a while since I've absolutely fangirled over something.
Day 1 - Favorite Book.
I love City of Bones. It is the start of the series and I will always go back to it as one of my all time favorites. I was very very tempted to put in City of Fallen Angels as my favorite, because guess what? Cassandra Clare put that 4th book out and it is just as thrilling, if not moreso, as the others. Each book, I swear, gets better. For purpose of getting my friends addicted to this series, as I am, I still think I should start with number one.
In City of Bones, we meet Clary Fray: awesome fifteen year old, red-headed, spunky artist and totally unaware of the huge changes that are about to happen in her life. After heading out to the Pandemonium Club in New York, she stumbles upon a murder. A murder that she cannot even prove happened since the body disappears and she is the only one that sees the three strange teenagers who are decorated in tattoos and carrying weapons. They call themselves Shadowhunters and explain how they're meant to rid the world of demons. Soon after, Clary's mother disappears and she is quickly pulled into the Shadow world with many questions that deserve answers.

"I guessed," he said, latching the door behind them. "It seemed like the most likely explanation."
"You guessed? You must have been pretty sure, considering you could have killed me."
He pressed a button in the wall and the elevator lurched into action with a vibrating groan that she felt all through the bones in her feet. "I was ninety percent sure."
"I see," Clary said.
There must have been something in her voice, because he turned to look at her. Her hand cracked across his face, a slap that rocked him back on his heels. He put his hand to his cheek, more in surprise than pain. "What the hell was that for?"
"The other ten percent," she said, and they rode the rest of the way down to the street in silence.
