Re-Readable Books
I am not a re-reader. I very rarely read books more than once. However, there are some books that deserve to be re-read. This is a list of books that I have either read more than once or that I want to read again.
Harry Potter: Obviously Harry Potter si on the list. I have re-read Harry Potter, some of the books more than once.
The Book Thief: I haven't actually re-read the Book Thief, but as it's one of my favourite books of all time, I am planning on reading it again at some point.
The Raven Cycle: I have read this series twice. It's my favourite series ever and I love it to pieces.
The Hunger Games: I have not read the Hunger Games more than once. I read the books a really long time ago, and I want to read them again.
Seraphina: I have not re-read Seraphina, but I want to read it again.
Throne of Glass:I love the Throne of Glass series. I haven't re-read it, because I actually read it very recently, but I will probably read it again in a few years.
Eon: I love the Eon duology. I haven't re-read it, but I plan to at some point.
Clockwork Angel: I have not read the Infernal Devices series more than once, and I feel like it would enjoy it even more than I did the first time I read it.
Paper Towns: Paper Towns is my favourite John Green novel. I haven't read it more than once, but I plan to read it again at some point.
Harry Potter: Obviously Harry Potter si on the list. I have re-read Harry Potter, some of the books more than once.
The Book Thief: I haven't actually re-read the Book Thief, but as it's one of my favourite books of all time, I am planning on reading it again at some point.

Three Favourite Love Triangles
It seems to be common law that love triangles must always be hated. Here's the thing: I don't get why people hate them so much. Sure, there are some that are really annoying, but it bothers me that so many people think that it's somehow improbable or annoying for someone to love two people at the same time. So, here are my five favourite love triangles from TV shows and books. Warning: This post contains spoilers.
1. Korra, Mako and Asami from Legend of Korra (SPOILERS FOR LEGEND OF KORRA)
This love triangle is an actual triangle, instead of a V-shape, like most love triangles. In the first two seasons, Mako liked both Korra and Asami and both Korra and Asami liked him. At this point, it seemed like any normal love triangle. Asami and Mako were dating. Korra was jealous. Korra kissed Mako. Asami and Mako broke up and Mako and Korra started dating. Asami was jealous. Eventually, though, Mako and Korra broke up too. Then, in the fourth season of the show, Korra and Asami got together!!!! (Sorry, it's just my favourite thing ever.)
Why I like this love triangle: It's an actual triangle instead of a V, and two girls who were originally jealous of each other end up getting together.
Who I Ship: Korra and Asami
2. Tessa, Will and Jem from the Infernal Devices (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE INFERNAL DEVICES)
This is another love triangle that is (arguably) an actual triangle instead of a V-shape. Tessa loves both Will and Jem, and both of them love her. You could also argue that Will and Jem love each other too, but their relationship is canonically platonic. Anyway, Will and Tessa end up getting married. Jem is out of the picture for a while because of complicated stuff. Tessa is immortal, so Will eventually dies leaving her behind. Then, a while later, Tessa gets married to Jem (he was immortal too, for a while).
Why I like this love triangle: Tessa loves both Will and Jem equally, and she, Will and Jem all accept that.
Who I Ship: Both Tessa/Will and Tessa/Jem
3. Raven, Clarke and Finn from the 100 (SPOILERS FOR THE 100)
You might be thinking "Why does she like this love triangle?" Raven and Finn were dating, Finn cheats on Raven with Clarke. Clarke doesn't know that Raven exists, when she finds out, she's upset. When Raven finds out, she is also upset and she breaks up with Finn.
Why I like this love triangle: Despite Finn being a jerk, Raven and Clarke become really good friends.
Who I Ship: Clarke/Raven (Is this cheating?)
1. Korra, Mako and Asami from Legend of Korra (SPOILERS FOR LEGEND OF KORRA)
This love triangle is an actual triangle, instead of a V-shape, like most love triangles. In the first two seasons, Mako liked both Korra and Asami and both Korra and Asami liked him. At this point, it seemed like any normal love triangle. Asami and Mako were dating. Korra was jealous. Korra kissed Mako. Asami and Mako broke up and Mako and Korra started dating. Asami was jealous. Eventually, though, Mako and Korra broke up too. Then, in the fourth season of the show, Korra and Asami got together!!!! (Sorry, it's just my favourite thing ever.)
Why I like this love triangle: It's an actual triangle instead of a V, and two girls who were originally jealous of each other end up getting together.

Ten Favourite Fictional Friendships
Everyone talks about romantic relationships in fiction, but in my opinion, platonic relationships are just as important. Here are ten of my favourite fictional friendships in no particular order. Some of these friendships consist of more than two people. In the group friendships on this list there may be people within the group who like each other romantically.
1. Clarke and Raven from The 100
"I'd pick you first." "Of course you would. I'm awesome."
Clarke Griffin and Raven Reyes are from the TV show The 100. In the beginning, Clarke and Raven's relationship was a bit of a rivalry since Finn, Raven's boy friend, was interested in Clarke, but the two girls soon got over their differences. Now, Raven is one of the only people Clarke can trust, and Clarke is one of the only people Raven can count on.
2. Clara and The Doctor from Doctor Who
"Run. Run you clever boy, and remember me."
In Doctor Who, Clara Oswald is the Doctor's newest companion, but she doesn't think of herself as the Doctor's assistant, she thinks of herself as his equal. Clara and the Doctor go on adventures together, and while their relationship has been rough at times, the two always stick together.
3. Blue, Gansey, Ronan and Adam from The Raven Cycle
"But what she didn't realize about Blue and her boys was that they were all in love with one another. She was no less obsessed with them than they were with her, or one another, analyzing every conversation and gesture, drawing out every joke into a longer and longer running gag, spending each moment either with one another or thinking about when next they would be with one another. Blue was perfectly aware that it was possible to have a friendship that wasn't all-encompassing, that wasn't blinding, deafening, maddening, quickening. It was just that now that she'd had this kind, she didn't want the other.”
Blue Sargent, Richard Gansey, Ronan Lynch and Adam Parrish from The Raven Cycle book series have one of the strangest and most interesting friendships I have ever read about. The four each have a very unique relationship with each other person in the group. They often argue, but at the end of the day, they are the only people in the world who really understand each other.
4. Korra, Mako, Bolin and Asami from Legend of Korra
"The new team avatar."
In the TV show Legend of Korra, Korra and her friends Mako, Bolin and Asami work together to save the world on countless occasions. These four would do anything for each other. The group is sometimes pulled apart by political conflicts or love triangles, but they always find their way back to each other.
5. Joan and Sherlock from Elementary
"I consider you to be exceptional, so I make an exceptional effort to accommodate you."
The thing that I love about the TV show Elementary is the relationship between the two main characters, Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson. Joan starts out as Sherlock's sober companion, but she later joins him in detective work. At first the two don't get along, but they soon find that they have more in common than they thought, and that the differences that they do have are what make their friendship strong.
6. Clarke and Anya from The 100
"There is no 'we'."
Clarke Griffin and Anya from the TV show The 100 start their relationship as enemies. Over the course of their interactions, they eventually become allies and they form a bond of mutual respect.
7. Harry, Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter
"Why is it, when something happens, it is always you three?"
Obviously the golden trio has to be somewhere on this list. Harry, Ron and Hermione are really the ultimate friends. I don't think I need to go on about them. You all now how epic they are.
8. Tessa, Will and Jem from The Infernal Devices
“They say you cannot love two people equally at once,” she said. “And perhaps for others that is so. But you and Will—you are not like two ordinary people, two people who might have been jealous of each other, or who would have imagined my love for one of them diminished by my love of the other. You merged your souls when you were both children. I could not have loved Will so much if I had not loved you as well. And I could not love you as I do if I had not loved Will as I did.”
Yes. I know this is a love triangle. But if that's all you saw in their relationship, I think you are very wrong. The point of their relationship is that they are all equally in love with each other. They all care so much for one another and they would do anything to protect each other.
9. Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko and Suki from The Last Airbender
"Team Avatar is back. Air. Water. Earth. Fire. Fan and sword!"
Team Avatar from Avatar:The Last Airbender is probably my favourite group of friends ever. It's true that they argue a lot, and one of their members was originally their enemy, but they really are the best of friends. They worked together to save the world and make it better, and then they worked together to keep it that way.
10. Donna and the Doctor from Doctor Who
"I was going to be with you forever."
Donna Noble is the only main companion in new Doctor Who who is never remotely interested in The Doctor romantically. Instead, the two are the very best of friends, and the travel through space and time together.
1. Clarke and Raven from The 100
"I'd pick you first." "Of course you would. I'm awesome."
Clarke Griffin and Raven Reyes are from the TV show The 100. In the beginning, Clarke and Raven's relationship was a bit of a rivalry since Finn, Raven's boy friend, was interested in Clarke, but the two girls soon got over their differences. Now, Raven is one of the only people Clarke can trust, and Clarke is one of the only people Raven can count on.

My Ten Favourite "Diverse" Characters
It is my opinion that diversity in fiction is important. Here is a list (in no particular order) of ten of my favourite "diverse characters" from books, movies and TV shows. (I consider a character diverse if they are one or more of the following: a person of colour, LGBTQ or disabled.) Most of the characters on the list are girls. Sorry, I just tend to like female characters better than male characters. I am also sorry that there aren't any transgender characters on the list. There are, unfortunately, very few transgender characters in today's media.
2. Lexa is another character from The 100. She is a military leader and she happens to like girls.
3. Raven Reyes is yet another character from The 100. She's a genius and a mechanic, and she is also a disabled women of colour.
4. Monty Green is another character from The 100. He is literally and angel and he is a person of colour.
5. Joan Watson is one of the two main character in Elementary. She was a doctor who became a sober companion, and then eventually became a detective. She is also a women of colour.
6. Guinevere is one of the main characters in the TV show Merlin, and she is a person of colour. Gwen becomes the queen of Camelot.
7. Korra is the main character of the TV show Legend of Korra. Korra is a bisexual women of colour.
8. Toph Beifong is from Avatar: The Last Airbender. She is blind, but she uses her power over the element of Earth to "see".
9. Martha Jones is a character from the TV show Doctor Who. She is a Doctor and she saves the world multiple times. She is a woman of colour.
10. Magnus Bane is from The Mortal Instruments book series. He is a bisexual person of colour.

Books that Should be Made into Movies or TV Shows
I personally think that these stories would translate really well into movies or TV shows. There are tons of books that I love that I did not include on this list because I don't think their styles would translate well onto the screen.
The Lunar Chronicles: I think this series would make a good TV show instead of a series of movies due to the large number of characters and the length of the books. I think that the stories in these books would translate well to a TV show format.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the Heroes of Olympus: Yes, I do know that there are two Percy Jackson movies, but everyone in the entire world agrees that they were terrible. You know what? I think that this series should be a TV Show. I think that the series is literally perfect for a TV show format. Each book has tons of mini adventures in it, each of which could be one episode. And each book could be a season. Please, universe. Make this happen.
The Kane Chronicles: I think that the Kane Chronicles would make a great TV Show for the same reasons that I think Percy Jackson would.
The Scorpio Races: I think this book would make a great movie.
Legend: There are so many dystopian trilogies out there that are being turned into movies (The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Maze Runner and The 5th Wave). Why not Legend? It's one of my favourite dystopian series.
The Infernal Devices: There is going to be a Mortal Instruments TV Show (dream come true), and I think there should also be an Infernal Devices TV Show.
The Darkest Minds: See Legend. This series is packed with action, and that often translates well to the screen.
Throne of Glass: I think this series would make great movies.
The Lunar Chronicles: I think this series would make a good TV show instead of a series of movies due to the large number of characters and the length of the books. I think that the stories in these books would translate well to a TV show format.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the Heroes of Olympus: Yes, I do know that there are two Percy Jackson movies, but everyone in the entire world agrees that they were terrible. You know what? I think that this series should be a TV Show. I think that the series is literally perfect for a TV show format. Each book has tons of mini adventures in it, each of which could be one episode.

The Infernal Devices: There is going to be a Mortal Instruments TV Show (dream come true), and I think there should also be an Infernal Devices TV Show.
The Darkest Minds: See Legend. This series is packed with action, and that often translates well to the screen.
Throne of Glass: I think this series would make great movies.

If You Like This Book, You Might Like That Book
I've seen a lot of people doing this around the internet, so I decided to try it out. (Most of these books will be in the fantasy genre because 90% of the books I read are fantasy).
If you like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, you will probably like Legend by Marie Lu. Both are science fiction trilogies about teenagers who fight against a corrupt government.
If you like the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan, then you might like Keys to the Kingdom by Garth Nix. They're both children's fantasy series and they're both really awesome and fast-paced.
If you like the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, then you might like the Eon Duology by Alison Goodman. They're both epic fantasy series about dragons and magic stuff.
If you like Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, then you might like Sabriel by Garth Nix. They are both epic fantasy series that have awesome female leads (I refuse to use the term "badass female characters") and awesome magical stuff.
If you liked Graceling by Kristin Cashore then you might like the Falling Kingdoms series by Morgan Rhodes. Both are epic fantasy series with weird magic and interesting plots.
If you liked the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, then you might like the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. They are both fantasy (Lunar Chronicles is technically science fiction, but it reads like fantasy) and they are both strongly centered around romance.
If you liked Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, then you might like the Lorien Legacies by Pittacus Lore. Both books are science fiction bordering on fantasy. They both include a bunch of kids with different random super powers.

The Fantasy Book Post Part 1
Fantasy is by far my favourite genre for books. More than half of the books I read are fantasy. This post is kind of like a guide to fantasy books either for someone who hasn't read much fantasy or for someone who wants to find some fantasy recommendations. Before I start, I should tell you a bit about fantasy and the different kinds of fantasy. First of all, here is my personal definition of a fantasy book:
A fantasy book is a book in which the events could not happen in our actual universe. Basically, if things in the book defy the laws of physics, biology or any other kind of science, it's fantasy. (Of course, there are some books that do not clearly fall into either the category of fantasy or the category of "not fantasy". Many science fiction books might go against scientific laws. As with all definitions, my definition is not always entirely accurate.)
Reading fantasy is an entirely different experience from reading any other genre. When reading fantasy, you have to ignore logic. Fantasy is not supposed to make sense. This is, in my opinion, the principle difference between fantasy and science fiction. A science fiction book is a prediction of the future. A science fiction book must make sense. Fantasy has no rules. It isn't supposed to make sense.
A lot of people find it odd that fantasy is my favourite genre. I am a very logical person. I do not like it when things in life do not make sense. But here's a secret. Fiction is not real. Many people who enjoy reading (or watching movies, or consuming any type of fiction) think of fiction as real. But this is not the point. of fiction. (There are actually many points to fiction. My personal favourites are: to entertain and to make a person reconsider their opinions on life, humanity and many other topics. Thinking of fiction as a reality is not one of the points of fiction, or at least, it isn't in my opinion.)
The reason that fantasy is my favourite genre is because, to me, it symbolizes freedom of thought. They thoughts in my head do not make sense, and they aren't supposed to. I can think whatever I want to. Fiction is a type of thought, in my opinion. Many times, thoughts make sense (or at least partial sense). Many books are like this too, such as contemporary, historical or science fiction books. But, sometimes, I don't want my thoughts to make sense. I want to have the freedom to do whatever the hell I want in my own mind. Fantasy books are like those thoughts that don't make sense. And they aren't supposed to make sense.
Some people do not like fantasy. If you are one of those people.... WHY? I mean, that's great. It's all personal preference. You can like whatever you want. But, seriously, how can you not like fantasy???
Fantasy can (in my opinion) be split into three categories.
What is that you say? You are tired of hearing me ramble about fantasy and my personal thoughts on it and you want to get on to the book recommendations? Fine. Here you go. I have created a list of some of the fantasy books/series that I enjoyed. For each book recommendation, I have included a (very short) description of the book, a rating in five different categories (characters, plot, setting, writing and overall) and my opinion on which fantasy category it fits into (high, medium or low fantasy).
Harry Potter series (7 books) by J. K. Rowling
Characters: 10/10
Plot: 10/10
Setting: 10/10
Writing: 10/10

Type of Fantasy: Low Fantasy
Books in Series: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry potter and the Half Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Short Description: You have obviously read this series, but I have to include it on this list anyway. In case you have not read it (seriously, what are you doing with your life?), it's about a boy named Harry Potter who find out he's a wizard and goes to a school where he learns magic.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (5 books) by Rick Riordan
Characters: 8/10
Plot: 9/10
Setting: 9/10
Writing: 7/10
My Overall Rating: 7/10
Type of Fantasy: Low/Medium Fantasy
Books in Series:The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth, The Last Olympian
Short Description: Percy Jackson is a children's series, but even if you are no longer a child you can still enjoy it. Basically, it's all about Greek mythology, only it's set in the modern world. It's about a boy named Percy Jackson who finds out he's a Demigod and the adventures he has with his friends. Read if you like funny books with lots of action or are interested in Greek mythology.
The Heroes of Olympus series (5 books) by Rick Riordan)
Characters: 8/10
Plot: 9/10
Setting: 9/10
Writing: 8/10
My Overall Rating: 8/10
Type of Fantasy: Low/Medium Fantasy
Books in Series: The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, The House of Hades, The Blood of Olympus
Short Description: This series is a sequel series to Percy Jackson. I suggest that you read Percy Jackson before starting this series. Heroes of Olympus includes more Greek mythology as well as more demigod main characters and crazy adventures.
The Kane Chronicles (3 books) by Rick Riordan
Characters: 8/10
Plot: 9/10
Setting: 9/10
Writing: 8/10
My Overall Rating: 8/10
Type of Fantasy: Low/Medium Fantasy
Books in Series: The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, The Serpent's Shadow
Short Description: This series is fairly similar to the Percy Jackson series, except it's all about Egyptian mythology in the modern world instead of Greek mythology. It's about a brother and sister named Sadie and Carter Kane who have lots of adventures and stuff. A lot of people don't like it as much as the Percy Jackson series, but I personally liked it more.
The Raven Cycle (4 books) by Maggie Stiefvater
Characters: 10/10
Plot: 8/10
Setting: 9/10
Writing:10/10
My Overall Rating: 10/10
Type of Fantasy: Low Fantasy
Books in Series: The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves, Blue Lily Lily Blue (and one untitled, unpublished book coming out this year)
Short Description: In this book series, a group of five teens search for a Welsh king who is apparently asleep underneath the ground. This is one of my favourite series of all time, but it's kind of series that is not for everyone. You may love it or you may hate it. This series is really weird and a bit confusing at times. I love that sort of thing, but if you don't, this series probably isn't for you.
Throne of Glass series (6 books, 3 books published and a prequel) by Sarah J. Maas
Characters: 8/10
Plot: 9/10
Setting: 10/10
Writing: 8/10
My Overall Rating: 9/10
Type of Fantasy: High Fantasy
Books in Series: The Assassin's Blade (prequel), Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire (and three untitled, unpublished books)
Short Description: Celaena Sardothien is an assassin who is fighting in a competition to win her freedom and become the king's champion. They first book in the series isn't that great, but the second two are much better (especially the third). If you like badass female characters and engaging plots, this series is for you.
The Old Kingdom series (4 books published, probably more soon) by Garth Nix
Characters: 7/10
Plot: 8/10
Setting: 10/10
Writing: 9/10
My Overall Rating: 8/10
Type of Fantasy: High Fantasy (Though you could technically argue that it's Middle Fantasy)
Books in Series: Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen, Clariel (prequel)
Short Description: This series is all about necromancers and magic and stuff. The books can be pretty long and a little slow, but I really enjoyed it. By the way, I strongly suggest that you read Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen before Clariel.
Keys to the Kingdom series (7 books) by Garth Nix
Characters: 7/10
Plot: 9/10
Setting: 9/10
Writing: 9/10
My Overall Rating: 8/10
Type of Fantasy: Medium Fantasy
Books in Series: Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday, Drowned Wednesday, Sir Thursday, Lady Friday, Superior Saturday, Lord Sunday
Short Description: This series is weird. Really weird. It's pretty much impossible to describe. It is technically a children's series, but I love it anyway. Do not read if you can't handle weirdness.
The Young Elites series (3 books, 1 book published) by Marie Lu
Characters: 9/10
Plot: 8/10
Setting: 8/10
Writing: 8/10
My Overall Rating: 8/10
Type of Fantasy: High Fantasy
Books in Series: The Young Elites, The Rose Society (not out yet), a third untitled unpublished book
Short Description: The Young Elites is about a girl who survived a plague. The plague has given her scars and also magical power. There are lots of other kids who survived the plague who have magical powers too. Read if you like evil main characters.
The Mortal Instruments series (6 books) by Cassandra Clare
Characters: 9/10
Plot: 9/10
Setting: 8/10
Writing: 8/10
My Overall Rating: 8/10
Type of Fantasy: Low/Medium Fantasy
Books in Series: City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, City of Fallen Angels, City of Lost Souls, City of Heavenly Fire
Short Description: The Mortal Instruments is about a race of people called Shadowhunters who fight demons and an evil shadowhunter who wants to take over the world. Read if you like romance. I'm personally not a big fan of romance, but I still enjoyed this series.
The Infernal Devices series (3 books) by Cassandra Clare
Characters: 10/10
Plot: 10/10
Setting: 8/10
Writing: 9/10
My Overall Rating: 9/10
Type of Fantasy: Low/Medium Fantasy
Books in Series: Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, Clockwork Princess
Short Description: This series is a prequel series to The Mortal Instruments. It's set in London a long time ago, so it's historical fantasy. You can read this series either before or after the Mortal Instruments. If you started reading the Mortal Instruments and didn't like it, give this series a try. Pretty much everyone agrees that it's way better.
The Magisterium series (5 books, 1 book published) by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black
Characters: 7/10
Plot: 8/10
Setting: 7/10
Writing: 7/10
My Overall Rating: 7/10
Type of Fantasy: Low Fantasy
Books in Series: The Iron Trial (and four more books that haven't been published yet)
Short Description: This is a children's series, but older people (like me) can like it too. There's only one book out so far, but I really enjoyed that one book. The series is similar to Harry Potter, kind of, so if you liked that I suggest you read this.
A fantasy book is a book in which the events could not happen in our actual universe. Basically, if things in the book defy the laws of physics, biology or any other kind of science, it's fantasy.

Fantasy can (in my opinion) be split into three categories.
- High Fantasy (Also called epic fantasy because it's epic): Set in a completely different universe from our own. No connection to our universe at all.
- Low Fantasy (Also called urban fantasy): Set entirely in our universe, except it is our universe with fantastical elements added. Disregarding scientific laws (which you have to do in order to read fantasy), the stories in low fantasy books could technically have happened in our world. What I mean to say is, there is nothing in the fantasy book that goes against something in our universe. If, in a fantasy book, France does not exist, then it is not a low fantasy book.
- Medium Fantasy: In between low and high fantasy. This is not a very well defined category. Sometimes a middle fantasy book is set in a universe that resembles our own, but has a few elements that are obviously different (I'll use the example of France not existing again). A middle fantasy book could also be set partially in our universe and partially in another.
What is that you say? You are tired of hearing me ramble about fantasy and my personal thoughts on it and you want to get on to the book recommendations? Fine. Here you go. I have created a list of some of the fantasy books/series that I enjoyed.

The Infernal Devices series (3 books) by Cassandra Clare
Characters: 10/10
Plot: 10/10
Setting: 8/10
Writing: 9/10
My Overall Rating: 9/10
Type of Fantasy: Low/Medium Fantasy
Books in Series: Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, Clockwork Princess
Short Description: This series is a prequel series to The Mortal Instruments. It's set in London a long time ago, so it's historical fantasy. You can read this series either before or after the Mortal Instruments. If you started reading the Mortal Instruments and didn't like it, give this series a try. Pretty much everyone agrees that it's way better.
The Magisterium series (5 books, 1 book published) by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black
Characters: 7/10
Plot: 8/10
Setting: 7/10
Writing: 7/10
My Overall Rating: 7/10
Type of Fantasy: Low Fantasy
Books in Series: The Iron Trial (and four more books that haven't been published yet)
Short Description: This is a children's series, but older people (like me) can like it too. There's only one book out so far, but I really enjoyed that one book. The series is similar to Harry Potter, kind of, so if you liked that I suggest you read this.

January 2015 Updates
Here is what I've been reading and watching in January:
- I watched series 2 part 1 of the 100 TV show and I am currently watching series 2 part 2. The 100 is heartbreaking and I wish I'd never started watching this show. Unfortunately, it's too late. I'm hooked. I loved series 1 of the 100, but series 2 is even better.
- I am currently watching Elementary series 3. Series 3 is not as good as the first two series, but I like Kitty.
- I watched Broadchurch series 1 which was AMAZING. I am currently watching season 2. This show is really well done and it's British, so why aren't you watching it?
- I randomly started watching Avatar: the Last Airbender. I thought I was just going to watch the first episode and see what it was, but I accidentally watched the whole first season and I couldn't just stop there. I am now watching the Legend of Korra, the sequel show to The Last Airbender. Avatar is great. I love the world and the characters. This is not the type of show I normally watch, but I don't regret watching nine episodes in one day in the slightest.
- In the very end of December I watched The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. I really enjoyed it. It's probably my favourite of the Hobbit movies. I'm also just really glad Tauriel didn't die. When The Battle of the Five Armies comes out on DVD I'm going to marathon all the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit movies.
- I read The Infinite Sea, sequel to the 5th Wave. The Infinite Sea was even better than the first book, if that's possible. I love the writing style in this series and the characters and everything and I need the final book right now. WHY CAN'T I HAVE IT RIGHT NOW?
- I finished reading The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare. The Bane Chronicles is a book of short stories about the best character in the Mortal Instruments: Magnus Bane. This book made me really happy, and it also made me laugh a lot. I would definitely recommend it for fans of the Mortal Instruments.
- I read the entire Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy and it was really good. I can not understand why I did not read this series earlier. I really like the writing style and the characters. I usually hate angel/demon books, but this one was good.
- I randomly read the first book in s series that came out last year, Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch. I honestly didn't like it very much. I almost didn't finish it, but I ended up reading the whole thing. I just couldn't really get into it. The world didn't seem real, the plot didn't make a lot of sense and the characters seemed like really awkward cardboard cut-outs. I'm a little disappointed, the description of the book sounded good. I don't plan on continuing the series.
- I read the third book in the Falling Kingdoms series: Gathering Darkness. It was pretty good. Literally everyone dies in this series. I will continue to read the series as it comes out. It's not my absolute favourite, but it's good enough to keep reading.
- I read We Were Liars, which is a realistic fiction book. I actually read a realistic book! I mostly read it because it won a Goodreads choice award last year. I actually really enjoyed it. It's really short, so it didn't take me long to read and the ending is mindblowing. I'd definitely recommend it.
- I read the first book in the Eon duology. It's called Eon: Dragoneye Reborn. I really enjoyed it and i want to read the sequel. The main character is awesome and this is the first book I've read the has a transgender character in it.
- I read To all the Boys I've Loved Before which is another realistic fiction book. I wanted to try to read some more diverse books this year. I liked it, but it's realistic, so I didn't love it. I will read the sequel when it comes out.
