... genre myself. I have also bought Wicked Lovely as a fit in this genre, and gifted The Immortals to my SIL. I also have City of Bones and Blue Bloods on my wishlist... And of course it all started with Anne Rice's series, which is more adult in writing and subject matter. I also liked ... The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare; City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass. Just trust me. Oh, and there is a 4th book coming out.
Just read (and enjoyed very much) City of Bones, and Wicked Lovely was also a good read if you liked Twilight. ... read non-fiction, I'll give some extra fictions :)
Night Angel Trilogy, Looking Glass Wars, The Hollow People, Mortal Instruments Trilogy, House of Leaves, Pilo Family Circus, Ink Exchange, and The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray.
As for next year, well whatever is on my 1010(1 ... Surprisingly, only 2 books today (+1 DVD):

The Mortal Instruments series; City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass. ... taking a minor break from YA lit and am reading Salem's Lot. I'll probably go right back to YA after this, though, with City of Bones. ... series by Rachel Caine, House of Night by PC Cast &Kristin Cast, Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz, Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, the Darkest Powers series by kelley armstrong. A lot of these aren't romances the way twilight is and I am not sure ... #23 David Eddings Belgariad series one of my favorite fantasy authors
#22 just finished the Mortal instruments series and enjoyed those ... but you have to be into the whole 19th/20th century Gossip Girly kind of thing. It's worth giving a try :) I also loved The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare. Finally, I love the Twilight series, I know that whether or not the series is really good is always debated, but I ... Too many to choose any one favorite, but at the present time I am really liking the Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare. ... by Terry Pratchett (75% complete)

... The Heir Trilogy by Cinda Williams Chima
The Time Traveler's Wife Audrey Niffenegger
I agree with The Mortal Instruments
And anything and everything by Sarah Dessen I love series. Looks like you read mostly YA. Maximum Ride by James Patterson is on the 5th, I think. Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare has 3 and is about demon hunters. Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr has 3 and is about fairies. And The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor is a twist on Ali ... City of Bones is on my tbr pile, I'm waiting for book 2 before I start, but there is quite a queue of requests for it at my library. I read somewhere that you'll want to dive straight into the next book...
I read Go Tell it on the Mountain when I was a teenager, but of course it's so long ago ... ... - nonfiction; a book about the man who won the Nobel Prize through his efforts in microlending; highly recommended
399. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare - young adult; this is the first book in a series and I had a good time with it - I already have book 2 home from the library; ... The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. ... try the maximum ride series. The books aren't too long, however I think the series is on the 5th book right now. Or the mortal instruments trilogy are longer books same with the looking glass wars trilogy.
I read really fast as well and I've found series help too in that situation. If ... Tuesday:
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare - young adult; the first book in the Mortal Instruments series and very enjoyable - I already have book 2 on hold at the local library Currently reading City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. #78 City of Bones
#79 City of Ashes
#80 City of Glass
all by Cassandra Clare ... list of books read.
My book club meets next Tuesday and despite the fact that we are reading the Young Adult bestseller City of Bones and that I started it right after our last book club meeting (and was actually really enjoying it), I've put it aside and will be scrambling to finish it in ... ... Hollow Kingdom trilogy. There's also a lot of good urban fantasy out there: Wicked Lovely, Tithe, Wondrous Strange, City of Bones. . . .
Any of that sound interesting?
(Edit: Ack! None of my touchstones showed up! Trying again. . . .) Yay, my library has agreed to purchase copies of Hate List and I'm first in line!
I've had a copy of City of Bones for ages but haven't got round to reading it yet, I really must as it sounds very good. I could not get into City of Bones by Cassandra Clare It just didnt hook me - so I moved on to Betrayed by P.C. Cast and read that in under a day - this is a really good series & this book is the 2nd one which I liked even better - had me crying.
TBQ-- if you haven't read Marked ...
#81 City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
First thoughts: boy Cassie Clare sure does know how to tell a story! This book weighs in at almost 500 pgs and I found myself wiping ... Graceling by Kristin Kashore has a good central romance. So does the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, starting with City of Bones. ... enjoyed the hero's brother is this book which I didn't really care for him in his book. Ahh so good.
Now I started City of Bones by Cassandra Clare I don't know if its the book or just me & the heat but Im not getting into it as much as I would have hoped and I keep re-reading. Gue ... I'm working on City Of Bones,The Sight, and The Graveyard Book. All of them are are really good. I was reading Wizards First Rule on my Kindle but it needs to be charged! #80: I brought home City of Bones from the library today. I hope I like it as much as you have been enjoying the series. ... the movie better than the book.
I also read The Amaranth Enchantment, which was okay but not great.
Now I'm reading City of Bones. I like it so far -- there's some great humor in it. ... of Lucky

I haven't read City of Bones yet, but it's definitely on the list... :) I'm almost finished City of Bones. It wasn't nearly as bad as it started off. It's still no wunderkind stuff, but it got itself going. Plenty of angst, and a bit of a Mary-Sue complex going, but still readable. 36f.) City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
Fifteen year old Clary begins to see things no-one else can see, and soon realizes that most of her life has been an elaborate lie. She gets caught up with some gifted young warriors called Shadowhunters, and soon finds that she can't recapture her ... I'm still on City of Bones and World War Z, and I've started Fire Watch.

Well a little while ago i finished City of Bones which was better that i'd expected although the ending did irk me somewhat (partly because i already knew what the twist was) because now i really want to read the other two books in the hopes that it will be proven to be false.
