Feature & Follow #33: Books I'd Save in a Fire :(

Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read where each host will have their own Feature blog to show off more new blogs! 


It's impossible for me to choose 3 single books so I'm going to count boxsets as one item :P I would grab my Harry Potter set, it was a birthday present from my sister, my The Mortal Instruments box set, a favourite series of mine and my Collector's Edition of Fangirl because it's a Limited edition!

 

Which books would you save and thank you for stopping by!

Feature & Follow #20: Favourite Character Death

Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read where each host will have their own Feature blog to show off more new blogs!


I picked the one death that immediately popped into my head after I read the topic. Honestly, this was the only one I could come up with.

 

Mega spoilers if you haven't read City of Heavenly Fire, the last book in The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Highlight at your own risk! I pick Sebastian aka Jonathan. I'm pretty sure this was THE death everyone looked forward to. I know I was looking forward to seeing how it would all play out. It was more than satisfying if not a little sad :(

 

What was your favourite character death and thanks for visiting! Please just comment with the book name so other people don't get spoiled.

1.2. Simon & Isabelle from The Mortal Instruments series

3.4. Jill & Eddie from the Bloodlines series
5.6. Laila & Connor from the Pivot Point duology
7.8.9. Abby & Logan or Ethan from the Pushing the Limits series

10. Brody from the Mixology series

Which characters do you wish could get their own book?

Feature & Follow #15: Which Dead Character Would You Bring Back?

Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read where each host will have their own Feature blog to show off more new blogs!


I'm semi back from my break because it was just too hard to stay away from blogging! I find myself still checking book blogs everyday. It's a part of my life now! Now onto today's Feature & Follow topic.

This was a hard one to pick. Since it would be a total spoiler for anyone who hasn't read the book or book series I decided to hide my answer. We all know numerous people died in this last installment but highlight at your own risk ;)

 

I pick Jordan because I wanted this person to have a HEA. Said person deserved one.

Which dead character would you choose to bring back? Maybe just leave the book name so people don't get spoiled and thank you for coming by!



Feature & Follow #7: Book Character You’d Trade Places With

 

 

Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read where each host will have their own Feature blog to show off more new blogs!

This was a tough one. I think I'd have more answers for who I wouldn't want to trade places with haha. After racking my brains, I finally decided on Clary Fray from The Mortal Instruments series. It's one of my all time favourite series and the Shadowhunter world is just so fascinating to me. Clary's not the smartest or most kickass character but she is surrounded by people who love her very much. I think everything she went through sucked but it also helped her grow as a person.

Which book character would you want to trade places with and thanks for stopping by!

Feature & Follow #6: What book/series would make a better TV show than a movie

 



Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read where each host will have their own Feature blog to show off more new blogs!


For this question, I'm going have to go with The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. I think there's so much to the Shadowhunter world that can be explored if it was turned into a tv series. There would be more time to explain the world, get to know the characters and understand the overall story. A spinoff series on The Infernal Devices would be even more awesome ;)

What book/series would you pick and thanks for visiting!

TTT #2: Characters I Would Want with Me on a Deserted Island!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish where people share their top ten things according to the topic of that week.


This is such a fun topic! At first, I just wanted to pick all the hot swoony boys I've read about (even thought there are definitely wayyyy more than 10) but then I decided to be a little bit more rational. Just a tiny bit more :P After some thoughts here they are in no particular order!

LADIES:

1. Celaena Sardothien from the Throne of Glass series - Celaena is too kick ass to not have on the island with me! She can protect me and maybe even give me some lessons on self defense.

2. Harper Price from the Rebel Belle trilogy - Harper would be so much fun to have around because of her total girliness (don't think that's a word but I'm using it)! We can be girly together with Celaena. 

3. June Iparis from the Legend trilogy - June's so intelligent I definitely need to have her around. I also feel like she'll be the little sister that everyone can take care of and shower with affection (you know?).

HOT GUYS:

4. Levi from Fangirl - Just having Levi around would make me so happy. I'd be smiling all the time XD

5. Connor from the Pivot Point duology - This is a spoiler so it's under highlight - he heals! It would be very handy to have that ability around. Bonus that he's smoking hot and caring ;)

6. Will Herondale from The Infernal Devices trilogy - Who wouldn't want to bring Will Herondale?!? Ok, maybe some of you but he's WILL HERONDALE! If there are any demons on the island, he can send them back to their realms.

7. Jace Lightwood from The Mortal Instruments series - I love Jace's witty sense of humour. He'd keep me entertained all the time~ And just imagining him side by side with Will!

8. Magnus Bane from the Shadowhunter Chronicles - Two words to describe Magnus: Awesomeness and glitters!

9. Gavriel from The Coldest Girl in Coldtown - Gavriel's just so mysterious and passionate that I'd definitely want him around.

10. Adrian Ivashkov from the Bloodlines series - Adrian can paint and I can watch. Not creepy at all :)

Who are the characters you would want with you on a deserted island?

City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments #6)

by Cassandra Clare

May 27, 2014

725 pages

Goodreads  Chapters/Indigo

Goodreads Summary:

In this dazzling and long-awaited conclusion to the acclaimed Mortal Instruments series, Clary and her friends fight the greatest evil they have ever faced: Clary's own brother.

Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Bearing the Infernal Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures out of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his Endarkened army swell.

The embattled Shadowhunters withdraw to Idris - but not even the famed demon towers of Alicante can keep Sebastian at bay. And with the Nephilim trapped in Idris, who will guard the world against demons?

When one of the greatest betrayals the Nephilim have ever known is revealed, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec must flee - even if their journey takes them deep into the demon realms, where no Shadowhunter has set foot before, and from which no human being has ever returned...

Love will be sacrificed and lives lost in the terrible battle for the fate of the word in the thrilling final installment of the classic urban fantasy series The Mortal Instruments!
