To me, it's a great feeling when I start a fantastic book and can't put it down, and that's what happened to me this past week. Normally, I start reading a series when the movie comes out. I did that with Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games. So when I heard the first movie in The Mortal Instruments series was coming out, I made a mental note to read the first book. My mom has the whole series in her classroom at school, so I asked her to bring the first one home for me when she went to work the other day.
I started it Wednesday afternoon and finished it tonight. Honestly, it is one of the best books I've ever read! I'll see if I still feel the same way after I finish reading all five books, but for right now, it's my second favorite series behind the Harry Potter series (which will undoubtedly always be my all time favorite.)
I mean, I loved the Twilight books when I read them. And The Hunger Games. But there's just something different about The Mortal Instruments. It's completely different from any series I've read recently. I just love reading about the magic and other dimensions and the Shadowhunters. It was so full of action and suspense that every time I put it down, I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen next.
My mom and I are going to set up a few things in her new office tomorrow, so I will grab the next few books in the series while I'm there. I guess I know what I'll be spending the next few days (or maybe weeks) doing. There is just something so enthralling about reading about fantastic events and letting the book take you to another world. As a wise person once said, "I am a reader not because I don't have a life but because I choose to have many."
