I found this on facebook, and it’s very very me. It was done by Vicky Scott Illustrations.
Some people are going to walk into City of Bones expecting it to be either just a teenage romance or action movie and they will be blown away by all the sass they will witness in those two to two and a half hours.

In honor of Children’s Book Week, here’s a photo of an awesome kid.
Every kid should have this picture taken of them.

Probably the best thing about Watch City was that there’s a bookstore called Back Pages Books and the owner is amazing. I went in a week or two before Watch City and told him I had been looking for this strange edition of Dante’s Inferno that found once, didn’t buy, and regretted not buying forever. He told me he knew the exact edition, and he had a copy coming into the store for Watch City. So I went into the store, bought it (with my Watch City button getting discount!) and then hugged it.
I just love this cover because it has these adorable little demons pitchfoking these cute little tortured souls. It’s so perfect and dark and quirky.
Oh my goodness, it was so good. I don’t often read realistic fiction for fun, but I love John Green and David Levithan, so I knew I had to pick this one up. And it did not disappoint.
There are two different stories in this book about two different Will Graysons who live in the suburbs of Chicago. They end up meeting, and that night spirals their lives in ways they definitely weren’t going before.
I like this book because it’s about gay characters, but it isn’t “queer fiction.” It’s a teen novel that just happens to have some gay characters. It’s also about a musical, and I love musicals. Plus there’s quite a few funny moments, and sad perfect moments. SO GOOD. Seriously.
This book is so quotable too. The entire time I was listening to it, I just kept thinking “I’d highlight this if it wasn’t an audiobook.”
It was also fun trying to play the “Which Will Grayson was written by which author?” game. Which I would have lost.

Any of you that read Robin Mckinley’s Beauty A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast know that the Beast’s library is more than just pretty decor filled with fabulous, fabulous literature, it also holds copies of every book ever written, and every book that is ever GOING TO BE written. I think I want this library even more now than I did as a child.
DO THIS. I’ve read the Cat Adams series, Carrie Vaughn’s series, and I already own Max Gladstone’s book. I’m passing on this one in the hopes that one of you guys win it and then read the Kitty series and love it because it is amazing and then you talk to me about it.
