Late Post on: 'CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE' Thanksgiving Snippet

Sorry, for the late post, but I just realized I forgot to place the US Thanksgiving snippet from Cassandra Clare:

"Did Brother Zachariah just steal our cat?"

As you can tell, Lily Collins has not been on her official twitter account for over 2 years now. But finally, she has joined instagram! How do you know this is her official account? Well, her photos have a watermark of 2013 Lily Collins.

Check out this Excerpt from 'What to Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything'

In case you missed it, the next installment of The Bane Chronicles was released last week. And because Cassandra Clare accidentally missed the release, she's making up for it by giving us an excerpt:

Magnus had been interested by Clary, the little redheaded scrap who had grown into a—slightly bigger little redheaded scrap, but had not thought he would be terribly interested in the companions she had found for herself. Not the nondescript mundane boy; not golden-eyed Jace Wayland, who reminded Magnus of too much of a past that he would rather forget; and certainly not either of the Lightwood siblings, the dark boy and girl whose parents Magnus had good reason to dislike.
It made no sense that his eyes had been drawn to Alec, over and over again. Alec had hung to the back of their little group, had made no effort to attract the eye. He had striking coloring, the rare combination of black hair and blue eyes that had always been Magnus’s favorite, and Magnus supposed that was why he had looked in Alec’s direction at first. Strange to see the coloringthat had so distinguished Will and his sister, so many miles and years gone by, and on someone with an entirely different last name …
Then Alec had smiled at one of Magnus’s jokes, and the smile had lit a lamp in his solemn face, making his blue eyes brilliant, and briefly taking Magnus’s breath away. And when Magnus’s attention had been held, he’d seen a flicker of returned interest in Alec’s eyes, a mixture of guilt, intrigue, and pleasure at Magnus’s attention. Shadowhunters were old-fashioned about such matters, which was to say bigoted and hidebound, as they were about everything. Magnus had been approached by male Shadowhunters before, of course, but always in a hole-and-corner way, always as if they’d been doing Magnus some huge favor and as if Magnus’s touch, though desired, might sully them. (Magnus had always turned them down.) It had been a shock to see such feelings open and innocent on a beautiful boy’s face.
When Magnus had winked at Alec and told him to call him, it had been a reckless impulse, little more than a whim. He had certainly not expected the Shadowhunter on his doorstep a few days later, asking for a date. Nor had he expected the date to go so spectacularly bizarrely, or expected to like Alec quite so much afterward…

CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE could be the 'Saddest and Happiest' book of 2014

According to Cassandra Clare's assistant, the final book to The Mortal Instruments has the saddest and happiest endings she read.

My assistant just finished CoHF. She said "That was the saddest happy ending."

Could City of Heavenly Fire be the heartbreak of 2014?
On the bright side, if you're lucky, Cassandra Clare might visit your area and you can gather happiness from that.

“@mallorylynn99: " Are you having a City of Heavenly Fire tour next year?” Yes!

Visual 'CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE' Snippet by Cassandra Clare and Cassandra Jean

Cassandra Clare sent Cassandra Jean -one of the illustrator from The Shadowhunter's Codex- a snippet from The Mortal Instruments: City of Heavenly Fire. With Cassandra Clare's permission, Cassandra Jean has illustrated part of the snippet and shared it with all of us! Check it out:

E! Online Asks "Which Fanchise has the Fiercest Heroine?"

Check it out, E! Online is asking which heroine out of Hunger Games, Twilight, Harry Potter, Divergent and The Mortal Instruments has the strongest heroine.
Here is what E! Online has to say about our Clary Fray:
Clary Fray, The Mortal Instruments (Lily Collins)

Strengths: The Shadowhunter can see monsters mortals can't—which comes in handy when they're trying to kill her and the people she loves. Clary also possesses the ability to create new runes because of the extra angel blood running through her veins.

Weaknesses: Clary can be quite stubborn at times. Not long after her mother goes missing, she learns that her father, Jonathan Rhys Meyers' Valentine Morgenstern, has been experimenting on the Downworlders and demons, making him one of the most dangerous men she's ever encountered. For a time, she even believed that that her boyfriend, Jamie Campbell Bower's Jace Lightwood, might be her biological brother. Talk about a head-trip!
