I finished three books in Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series. Now I'm heading into her newest series. I've heard great things about Clockwork Angel. Let's hope the book lives up to the hype.

Here's your teaser:
It was a long time before Tessa could sleep again. She lay awake, the Codes open at her side, the clockwork angel ticking at her chest, and she watched the lamplight  trace patterns across the ceiling. (page 110)

City of Bones is the first book in Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series. It's another YA paranormal that I'm giving a try. So many people have recommended it. I'm liking it so far. I have all the books sitting on my kitchen table. So if I get on a roll, I can keep going!

Here's the teaser:
"Real elves are about eight inches tall," Jace pointed out. "Also, they bite." (page 118)
