City Of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

This is the 2nd book in the series. the 1st is City of Bones and i HIGHLY reccomend reading both. there is slight romance i guess.. and more than romance. this book is about a brother and sisters father trying to take control of the government on Idris called the Clave. he believes that its tainted and he builds an army of downworlders (lycans, vamps, demons ect.) to take it down. Clary and Jace (the siblings) kiss AGAIN (omg) but this time because the queen of faries (who are the aftermath of an angel and demon being together) makes them (the sick weirdo) there are alot of discoveries that the characters find and there is alot of anger and sadness spread throughout the book. i give this book a 8/10 because i found it hard to picture the Marks they draw and the creatures summoned. if you are going to read this book read the 1st 1 1st... itll make alot more sence that way. thank for reading! =D

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte...

This book is....wow. I dont know how else to describe it! A heartwarming tale, with a passionate romance that will make your heart leap out of it's cage! Its a period book, with ladies and gentlemen and bonnets and carraiges but it still speaks to people today. I dont doubt why.

Jane Eyre is an orphan with no beauty. Her uncle had adopted her and his dying wish was that his wife would bring her up as her own. Hard chance. Her aunt Reed hated her, her cousins bullied her and her childhood was a misery. She was a passionate girl but she was forced to bottle up her feelings lest she be severely punished.
Eventually, she gets sent off to boarding school. A cold, crude place...she was very talented and rose high in her studies. She became independent and advertises for a job.
Now this is where the real story starts...she had taken up a job as a governess for a girl called Adele, the ward of a certain Mr. Rochester. The romance springs up here...and I love Charlotte Bronte's idea of love...
Mr. Rochester is considered rather ugly. Jane very plain. Yet, the two of them see in the other something to love, soemthing to cherish and treasure. The sweeping romance about two minds, very alike, two people whose match seems to have been made in heaven...a girl's strive for love and independence...Jane Eyre is a true heroine.

Sabriel by Garth Nix

Hey people! hope you've all been chillaxing! this book is about a girl names Sabriel. she is the daughter of Abhorsen (the title passed down though generations to the family line of GOOD necromancers (not bad)) and when her father visits her through the Death realm she is worried he is dead so she goes out in search of him and to rid the world of Kerrigor (the most evil Dead creature there is). she gets a few companions along the way aswell so shes not a total loner =D i REALI liked this book and since it is the 1st book in the Old Kingdom trilogy by Garth Nix i cant WAIT to read the others!!! if you like magic and adventure and have a good imagination to see what the creatures look like you should SOOO read this!! but if you dont have the imagination to picture it then i think you should SOO read this (notice how there 1 O difference??) it even has a bit of romance in there although 1 bit is a bit freaky zekey.. have fun reading and keep it up!!!
