Hello pixies!
Weather is getting much better here, thank God. However according to the news I've heard earlier, there is another storm forming somewhere near the country so this means no "happy" times yet. Well, I actually have a crochet project to do but I need to condition my mind and mood first before I do that, otherwise I'll keep on untangling the wrong parts which will be a complete waste of time. So since I haven't blog in awhile, this is the perfect time for me to do so.
You might be wondering why my title sounds familiar. Yes it's a title of a book which was made into a movie. But... it's not about that. It's actually about the Mortal Instruments. You see, I just finished reading the 6 books few days ago and I love it. I guess for someone who loves the fantasy genre with a mix of supernatural elements, these books are pretty good. Mortal Instruments for those who haven't read the book nor have seen the movie is all about angels, half-angels, demons, or what they called in the book "downworlders" composed of werewolves, vampires, fairies and warlocks. What attracted me most into reading this is because it involves a battle between angels and demons. It's your typical good vs.evil themed story but with a lot of twists.
I wouldn't compare it to other books like LOTR or Harry Potter or Hunger Games because each of them have their own unique plot which is very different from each other. I wouldn't go far to say that Mortal Instruments is my favorite book because it's not. What I'm saying is it's a very good book and I would read it again.
By the way, this is actually not a book review for those 6 books. I just want to share my overall thoughts on this series. I love how the author Cassandra Clare injected some humor into the story. I'm now currently reading Clockwork Angel which is the first book out of three of the prequel for The Mortal Instruments. I also found out that she will also release a sequel so that's another thing to look forward to.
Alright then, time for me to get back to business.
Swish and flick!

Reading City of Bones
Hey there pixies!
It's currently 1:51 am here and I'm still wide awake. I made myself a cup of coffee an hour ago because I was craving for caffeine and now I can feel the effect. Usually, I drink coffee to make myself sleepy. Yep, it has that effect on me. Am I weird or does anybody know someone who has the same thing going on with them when they drink coffee?
Why am I talking about coffee anyway? That's not the point of my blog today. What I want to talk about is the book City of Bones. As some who might have read my previous blogs, I mentioned that I've been reading books with dystopian themes like the popular Hunger Games series. I just finished reading the Maze Runner trilogy (I love it but the last book is not on the same level as the first two books in my opinion). I felt there's something missing with the last book Death Cure but anyway, I'm not gonna dwell on that subject. I'll save that for a later post.
Anyway, City of Bones is not about dystopian theme, it's a fantasy book with an urban setting. It is the first book out of six in The Mortal Instruments series. I've seen the film before I started reading this one (I'm not yet done reading it) and so far the film changed and erased a lot of things from the book. Still, even though the film didn't follow a lot of things from the book I will still watch the second film (if ever they continue making it) not because I'm a fan of Lily Collins - the girl who portrayed Clary, the heroine of the series but because I still love the concept/idea of the story.
Anyway, I think I might need to read the book again once I'm done as there are parts that I wasn't able to digest well. So if you are interested with urban-fantasy story, this book is for you.
Sorry for this quick post. I'm supposed to make an "Art Dump" post as I've got lots of drawings I want to show you but I'm using my brother's desktop. I'll upload my artworks for the past weeks here when I'm using Yuffie (my laptop) alrighty?
