Clockwork Princess Info
I've been bored. So, when I found out that Cassandra Clare posts something almost everyday on her tumblr...Yeah, I have no life.
BUT THAT'S OKAY.
The first word of the Clockwork Princess is marry. The last is silence.
Oohh...
Owen is Will's middle name.
Definitely did not know that.
Ke Jian Ming is Jem's Chinese name.
Didn't know that either.
Clockwork Princess:
Tessa leaned forward and caught at his hand, pressing it between her own. The touch was like white fire through his veins: he could not feel her skin, only the cloth of the gloves, and yet it did not matter. How you have kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into fire. He had wondered once why love was always phrased in terms of burning: the conflagration in his own veins, now, gave the answer. “You are good, Will,” she said. “There is no one better placed than I am to be able to say with perfect confidence how good you really are.”
Tessa! Why. Can't. You. See. Will? Sorry, Jem-Lovers. Sorry, Frost.
There is an Epilogue at the end titled, London 2007.
Really? OMG the Epilogue! (Awed Face) (Chanting "Will and Tessa" over and over)
More quotes:
Tessa craned her head back to look at Will. “You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.” His blue eyes were dark with understanding - of course Will would understand - and she hurried on. “I feel now as if the same thing is happening, only not to characters on a page but to my own beloved friends and companions. I do not want to sit by while tragedy comes for us. I would turn it aside, only I struggled to discover how that might be done.”
“You fear for Jem,” Will said.
“Yes,” she said. “And I fear for you, too.”
“No,” Will said, hoarsely. “Don’t waste that on me, Tess.”
Hmm...Maybe I should just post quotes. Yeah.
Gideon touched her cheek, lightly, with the tips of his fingers. “Did you know your name means ‘wisdom’? It was very well-given.”
In Clockwork Princess, Tessa and her companions travel all over the world as they race to stop the clockwork army before it’s too late. As Jem’s health worsens alarmingly and his friends search desperately for a cure, can Tessa choose between the two boys she loves—even if it means never seeing the other one again?
More Quotes:

For Jem Fangirls. AKA you, Frost.
And the gold of her ruined wedding dress.
"Jem knotted his fingers in the material of Will's sleeve. "You are my parabatai," he said, "You said once I could ask anything of you."
"He began it,” Cecily said, jerking her chin at Will, though she knew it was pointless. Jem, Will’s parabatai, treated her with the distant sweet kindness reserved for the little sisters of one’s friends, but he would always side with Will. Kindly, but firmly, he put Will above everything else in the world.
Well, nearly everything."
"A very magnanimous statement, Gideon,” said Magnus.
“I’m Gabriel.”
Magnus waved a hand. “All Lightwoods look the same to me."
"Would you?” said Gabriel to Will, hotly. “If it was your family?” His lip curled. “Never mind. It’s not as if you know the meaning of loyalty —”
“Gabriel.” Gideon’s voice was a reprimand to his brother. “Do not speak to Will in that manner."
"Tessa put a hand against the wall as she made her way numbly down the stairs. What had she almost done? What had she nearly told Will?"
"Will rose slowly to his feet. He could not believe he was doing what he was doing, but it was clear that he was, clear as the silver rim around the black of Jem’s eyes. “If there is a life after this one,” he said, “let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.”
“There will be other lives.” Jem held his hand out, and for a moment, they clasped hands, as they had done during their parabatai ritual, reaching across twin rings of fire to interlace their fingers with each other. “The world is a wheel,” he said. “When we rise or fall, we do it together.”
Will tightened his grip on Jem’s hand, which felt thin as twigs in his. “Well, then,” he said, through a tight throat, “since you say there will be another life for me, let us both pray I do not make as colossal a mess of it as I have this one."
"What are you doing following me around the back streets of London, you little idiot?” Will demanded, giving her arm a light shake.
Cecily’s eyes narrowed. “This morning it was cariad (note: Welsh endearment, like ‘darling’ or ‘love’), now it’s idiot.”
“Oh, you’re using a Glamour rune. There’s one thing to declare, you are not afraid of anything when you live in the country. But this is London.”
“I’m not afraid of London,” Cecily said defiantly.
Will leaned closer, almost hissing in her ear *and said something very complicated in Welsh*
She laughed. “No, it wouldn’t do you any good to tell me to go home. You are my brother, and I want to go with you.”
Will blinked at her words.
You are my brother, and I want to go with you.
It was the sort of thing he was used to hearing Jem say.
Although Cecily was unlike Jem in every other conceivable possible way, she did share one quality with him. Stubbornness. When Cecily said she wanted something, it did not express an idle desire, but an iron determination.
“Do you even care where I’m going?” he said. “What if I were going to hell?”
“I’ve always wanted to see hell,” Cecily said. “Doesn’t everyone?”
“Most of us spend our time trying to stay out of it, Cecily. I’m going to an ifrit den, if you must know, to purchase drugs from vile, dissolute criminals. They may clap eyes on you, and decide to sell you.”
“Wouldn’t you stop them?”
“I suppose it would depend on whether they cut me a part of the profit.”
She shook her head. “Jem is your parabatai,” she said. “He is your brother, given to you by the Clave, but I am your sister by blood. Why would you do anything for him, but you only want me to go home?”
“How do you know the drugs are for Jem?” Will said.
“I’m not an idiot, Will.”
“No, more’s the pity. Jem- Jem is like the better part of me. I would not expect you to understand. I owe him. I owe him this.”
“So what am I?” Cecily said.
Will exhaled, too desperate to check himself. “You are my weakness.”
“And Tessa is your heart,” she said, not angrily, but thoughtfully. “I am not fooled. As I told you, I’m not an idiot. And more’s the pity for you, although I suppose we all want things we can’t have.”
“Oh,” said Will, “and what do you want?”
“I want you to come home.” A strand of black hair was stuck to her cheek by the dampness, and Will fought the urge to pull her cloak closer about her, to make her safe as he had when she was a child.
“The Institute is my home,” Will sighed, and leaned his head against the stone wall. “I can’t stand out her arguing with you all evening, Cecily. If you’re determined to follow me into hell, I can’t stop you.”
“Finally,” she said provingly. “You’ve seen sense. I knew you would, you’re related to me.”
Will fought the urge to shake her.
“Are you ready?”
She nodded, and he raised his hand to knock on the door."
Whew! Longest Post Ever!

Perfect Scoundrels Summary
Katarina Bishop and W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it’s that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting—or stealing—whatever they want.
No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale’s family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother’s billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there’s no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won’t let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother’s will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company’s fortune. So instead of being the heir—this time, Hale might be the mark.
Forced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she’s willing to save her boyfriend’s company if it means losing the boy.

The Demigod Diaries
Publication Date: August 14th, 2012
The book includes four brand new stories from Percy Jackson's world, including:
The Diary of Luke Castellan. This is a prequel to The Lightning Thief, told from Luke's point of view, in the days when he adventured with Annabeth and Thalia. Several questions that fans have asked over the years will be answered in this story.
Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes. An adventure with Percy and Annabeth, set in the days before Percy disappeared. Hermes is missing his staff, and only Percy and Annabeth can help. And what about the snakes George and Martha? Oh no!
Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford. A story set at Camp Half-Blood, from Leo's point of view, with Piper and Jason guest-starring. The trio has only a few hours to stop an explosion that could level Camp Half-Blood. Just another normal day at camp!
Son of Magic. Haley's (Rick Riordan's son) writing debut, and his take on the world of Percy Jackson, which he inspired. You'll meet a demigod son of Hecate who fought with Kronos in the Battle of Manhattan, and learn what he's up to after the war. What would it be like to be an outcast demigod? What sort of powers would a son of Hecate control? You'll find out!
Excerpt from Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes:
Annabeth and I were relaxing on the Great Lawn in Central Park when she ambushed me with a question.
“You forgot, didn’t you?”
I went into red alert mode. It’s easy to panic when you’re a new boyfriend. Sure, I’d fought monsters with Annabeth for years. Together we’d faced the wrath of the gods. We’d battled Titans and calmly faced death a dozen times. But now that we were dating, one frown from her and I freaked. What had I done wrong?
Mwah! Hope you guys are as excited as I am!

Shine
Shine is the latest in the Shade trilogy, and the last. :( But the cover is beautiful, and my favorite color. The silver title goes perfectly with the bright yellow cover. So I got bored, and took a few pictures. I ope you like them. The yellow lilies are just there because they match the cover. and I apologize in advance for the grass looking dead, and the cover's beautiful yellow getting faded out. Oops!

Mark of Athena
Annabeth is terrified. Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy—after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera—it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon masthead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.
And that’s only one of her worries. In her pocket Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving demand: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find—and close— the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her?
Annabeth’s biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. What if he’s now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader, but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side.
Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await. Climb aboard the Argo II, if you dare. . . .

The Lying Game
The Lying Game by Sara Shepard...wow, what a bad influence.
I had a life anyone would kill for. Then someone did.
I may not remember much, but I know I led a charmed life. Even in death I’m getting something no one else does: an encore performance, thanks to Emma, the long-lost twin sister I never got to meet. Now, in order to figure out what happened to me, Emma needs to become me. But can she laugh at inside jokes with my best friends? Convince my boyfriend she’s the girl he fell in love with? Hug my parents good night like she’s their daughter? And can she keep up the charade even after she realizes my murderer is watching her every move?
Let the lying game begin.
Now I can't stop the pranks from coming. Nights of prank calls and intense planning are taking over. And my biggest one yet? We'll work on that one.....Frost and Sparks, help appreciated. C and S are on already. What about you?

KONY 2012
Well, I'm writing on April 20th. I've been on a few websites, and as far as I can tell, this thing is really happening. I guess I'll be able to see when I head into the city tomorrow. Just so you guys know, Kony is this evil guy in Africa, recruiting child soldiers and forcing them to kill their parents. Wow. Harsh. You should watch the video that we've posted awhile ago.
This might be a momentous moment in history, so write in your otherwise pathetic and lame journals or diaries!
As I write, Kony is being labeled as a misspelled word, but after tonight, it'll be in the dictionary for sure.
That is IF enough people go through with the April 20th awareness plan.
Are you?

J.K. Rowling's Next Book
Sadly, no more wizards. But hey, Muggles are back!
The Casual Vacancy is an adult book written in an English setting.
It opens with the sudden death of a popular man whose unexpected demise shocks the town. The battle for his seat on the local council sets off "the biggest war the town has yet seen," with rich people fighting poor, parents battling their teenagers, and wives in conflict with their husbands.
Will you read it?

Really, there is nothing for me I have to post. But I looked at my dashboard, and it said 99 posts, so I had to make it 100. It makes me feel better.

Spin-off Craze
Is it just me, or are most authors following the spin-off path?
Let me name some:
Rick Riordan
Rachel Hawkins
Julie Kagawa
Alyson Noel
I'm not really sure if I like it, or hate it.
Well, anyway, this post is about Julie Kagawa's spin-off of the Iron Fey, featuring Meghan's younger brother Ethan. The Iron Prince has a great teaser, so please read, and enjoy!
The Lost Prince special teaser
Sooooo, I've been given permission to post this one time only teaser of the newest Iron Fey book, The Lost Prince. This is Ethan's story, and I hope you enjoy it! Without further ado, here it is:
***
My name is Ethan Chase.
And last night, I found out that my sister, whom I hadn't seen in nearly thirteen years, was dead.
Worse, they say she was found with Puck's dagger plunged through her heart, and a note pinned to the blade.
The note only said three words...
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!
:P
***
Ahahahaha, oh the look on your face! I love this holiday!

Nightshade, Wolfsbane
Okay, so here's what Nightshade is about: Calla Tor is a future pack alpha, all she has to do, is seal her destiny by marrying Ren Laroche, of the Bane pack. But then she rescues Shay, an ordinary boy, who has an inner sparkle to Calla's eye. (Ha! I may write this, but I find it NOT true!) Then she realizes that the Keepers, a bunch of wizards bent on protecting the world, aren't as they seem......
Yay! Read the books, the third book is called Bloodrose. Root for Ren!

The Day Dreamer Almost Died...
You guys tell me what this video is about...
I
JUST
READ
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF TIME
And...I'm speechless, and close to crying
and I almost died :)
That was unbelievable, which means...the sixth book! Where is it?
I'll tell you 3 or 4 or 60 things about this book, non-spoilery, kind of:
-Zach...Zach...is definitely in it. Obv. But who else is with him?
- It's serious this time. With guns. I like guns.
- Quote: "No." (Blank) shook (blank) head. "She came to me)
Hmm...so when Cammie left, who did she go and see?
M.A.M and C.A.M...Oh Gods.
My favorite Zach Scene:
Highlight to see:
"Zach," I said as I lay there. "Where did you go? When you were looking for me?" I shifted in his arms, looked into his eyes. "Crazy." His voice was a whisper against my skin. "I went crazy."
Nah, let's leave it there. I'm afraid I'll blurt something out, and Frost and Sparks will kill me,
making me OFFICIALLY dead.

Julie Kagawa Iron Legends
The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa has two e-books, that neither Frost or I have been able to get. Winter's Passage and Summer's Crossing is now being combined as one book, known as Iron Legends.
Yes, I recommend this series. AKA Sparks, you go and read it!
The first book is The Iron King.
Also, her latest series, The Blood of Eden, the first book has come out!
No, this is not gonna be a cheesy, sappy Twilight series. This is hardcore vamps. novel.

A Poem by Frost
I feel like a nerd. But I like the poem that I made.
I wish, I wish, upon a star,
To take me away, so very far.
To a place filled with myths and magic,
Of daring heroes with tales so tragic.
I'd defeat a villian, complete a quest.
Join the Heroes, be the very best.
Then I'd live out my life,
for my quest had ended all strife.
And as I lived my life so very far,
I'd wait for the next one
To wish upon a star.
Ta-Da! COPYRIGHTED.
Thank you.

Why do we go to school?
Here's my theory:
We go to elementary to prepare us for Junior high.
Junior High prepares us for High school.
But after the Highest School, they go and prepare us for college.
and College allegedly prepares us for life.
I thought we were supposed to live life. Not prepare for it.
And if most of our life is preparing for life, when exactly do we start living life?
Because before you know it, you've been married and have children.
And you have to start spending your time preparing your children for life.
When I asked a teacher, here's her lame response, "You start living life when your done with schools."
I beg to differ. Because then the teacher has never lived her life. Because she's not done with schools.

Out of Sight, Out of Time Excerpts
GG5 will be available tomorrow! OMG, I don't know about you, but I can't wait!
Recap: 1st Chapter
http://allycarter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/YA-out-of-sight-out-of-time-Ally-Carter.pdf
A quick collection of excerpts:
There are fourteen routes a person can take from the library to the suite where I’ve lived since my first day of seventh grade. I knew which one was fastest, which was busiest, which one had the most awesome views and the route that was most likely to make a girl freeze to death in winter.
But that night I didn’t settle for any of those. No, that night I went straight for the part of the mansion that no one but the teachers ever used. The halls were long and narrow and empty, nothing but faculty living quarters and the occasional bookcase to mark the way.
It was easy to feel like I was the only person in the mansion (which was totally what I was going for) right up until the point when I heard a voice say, “Cammie?”
Zach was there. Zach was there wearing nothing but a towel, but the being there part was far more concerning than the towel part to tell you the truth (the towel part brought up a whole different set of issues.) Because something in the way he was looking at me told me that I had completely and totally failed in my attempt to hide.
I didn’t know which was more frustrating, his penchant for showing up at utterly embarrassing portions of my life or the looks he gave me when he did— like he knew more, saw more, understood better than anyone else on earth and right then I kind of hated him for it.'
"Cammie is no double agent"
"I killed someone"
"Might have been worth dying for"
"Everyone comes here when they're lost"
"The least we can do is take her to her father"
"Now is not the time for lies, Cammie"
"Time. I would haev gone somewhere to buy time."
"The only question that remained was why I'd have to leave"
"I think he was afraid of what I'd do if I found out how close he was getting."
"I couldn't find you. And I will never forgive myself for that. Ever."
I think that wraps it up!

Kony 2012
Hey, guys, its Dreamer.
And this is seriously, the most serious post you will probably ever see on this blog.
Joseph Kony, a gang leader in Uganda, is the head of the LRA (Lord Resistance Army). Kony fits in the category of All Evil, where I placed Hitler and Osama Bin Ladin. But Kony, what Kony does, is utterly despicable. He abducts children, and forces them to work in his army. Not only that, he eliminates all hope by killing the families of these children. These children are forced to kill their own parents.
And even though Obama has sent 100 troops to fight Kony, it isn't enough. But not many people know about Kony. So InvisibleChildren has created a documentary about Kony. Asking for help. Raising awareness.
And that's what I'm doing. Please, guys, if you can, please watch the documentary. And spread the word.
