Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

English books: THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS BOOK ONE, City of Bones

Hey, what's up folks?
I've been reading (as ever) this amazing book lately and I just wanted to tell you about it. Wow, I'm getting brief concerning presentations... I didn't mean to, sorry. -.-
Well, lets see... "THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS BOOK ONE" City of Bones is a novel by Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author.
Her books have received good praises and so my father bought the first one and I really did LOVE it, it was amazing.
This book talks about life in New York city, where Clary Fray lives. She's a fifteen year old girl, lives with her mum in an apartment and has a close relationship with his best friend Simon.
She is red haired, (pretty strange but remarkable for a character if you ask me) and not very sympathetic to people. And she loves to attend Pandemonium (a place where strange people meet and dance).
As the back cover reads: "Clary Fray is seeing things". One day in Pandemonium with her best friend she watches how four strange people go into a NON ADMITTANCE room.
They turned out to be a demon and shadow-hunters. But why is Clary able to see them? (And I mean to actually see them). Does she have something to do with them?
Find out, this book is magnificent.
I leave you its data:

Libba Bray, author of A Great and Terrible Beauty

That's all, hope you like it!
