Currently with my book club we are reading The Mortal Instruments. Last month we read City of Bones and this month we are reading the next two books in the series. I read this series years ago but I have loved diving back into the Shadowhunters world. Cassandra Clare does such an incredible job at immersing her readers into a world of magic and demons and sarcasm. I think my favorite part is the sarcasm if we are being totally honest.
In the City of Bones we followed Clary in her quest to rescue her mother from the clutches of the evil shadowhunter Valentine. In order to do so she befriends Jace, a young shadowhunter who’s sass is only matched by the magnificent warlock Magnus, unfortunately he doesnt appear much in City of Bones, but having read the series already I am looking forward to him appearing more. The story is set in NYC, which is somewhere I recently got to visit. I normally love books that are set in magical fictional worlds, but there was something extraordinary about being able to picture where the characters were and knowing a little something about their world.
Reading with my book club, fantastically named A Coven of Readers, is the most fun I have ever had reading. The members of the club are spread out around the world, and brought together by the power of books. Every month we read and discuss and share our opinions. No judgement (unless you’re a Tampon fan, then we judge you harshly) just agreat group of friends talking about books.
Tell me, do you like to read with a book club?
