Hey guys!
I have a good deal to talk about in this post, but, come on, when don't I? First off let's talk about Cassandra Clare.
Cassandra Clare has written a boat load of books. All in the same category or "world". That is the Shadowhunter world. Shadowunters are humans that have angelic blood, and protect the world from demons, and rouge downworlders. Downworlders are anything from faeries to werewolves to vampires to warlocks (and rumoured zombies). They tend to help keep peace, but, not always. The main character is a sixteen year old ginger living in Brooklyn, Clary Fray. She and her nerdy (and totally hot) best friend to a club called the Pandemonium, and that my friends, is when the pandemonium starts. We also meet more wonderful and well developed characters like Magnus Bane, our magnificently glittified warlock, Alec and Isabelle Lightwood, two badass siblings that kick demon buts with gold whips and beautiful dark locks, and finally, last but certainly not least, our protective, duck fearing, demon slaying, sassy, natural blonde Jace Herondale.
Yesterday, the movie adaptation to the first book was released in theaters (in America). I will not be seeing it until Friday do to school (pfft). On Friday I will hopefully write out a full review if I have time, like I had for Percy Jackson. It will contain spoilers but I will mark it as so.

LOOKING FOR MY HEART (I MEAN ALASKA) BY JOHN GREEN
This is one exceptional book. We start out with the character Miles "Pudge" Halter, a kind of shy guy who has an obsession with remembering last words. He goes off to a boarding school for the first time to search for his "Great Perhaps". He meets many friends along his way including his roommate and capital-population-country memorizing Chip Martin, and the wild and free Alaska Young. Read the spectacular and memorable pranks, the self-realizations, and the budding friendships and romances.John Green, as I send in my previous blog post, knows how to break a heart. Each one of his novels, makes you pause and look at the world in a whole new way. It makes you fall in love with the characters and the situations and the placing.
If you didn't already know about the world renowned fandom that he and his brother started way back in 2007 with his brother, than I suggest you listen up. Nerdfighteria is a base of millions of kids and teenagers and adults all around the world aiming to decrease world suck. Two times a week John and his Hank post videos about world problems, John's books, puppy-sized elephants, or anything they bring up. They have educational channels and the support other youtubers like Tyler Oakley and Emily from the Brain Scoop and Vsause. I adore the heck out of these two guys and I hope you do too!
