Book Beginnings on Friday: City Of Glass by Cassandra Clare

-


Every Friday Book Beginnings hosted by Rose City Readers asks you to grab the ebook you are reading and share the first sentence or paragraph and then give your feelings on it or anything else that it inspires. Be sure to include the title and the author




We are doing a re-read of The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare on the blog. It has been since they were first released since I have read them so it is really fun to re-read so many years later. 

This month we have been reading City Of Glass which is book 3. Reading one each month, we should be finished by the end of the year. 

So the first paragraph in the book ...

The cold snap of the previous week was over, the sun was shining brightly as Clary hurried across Luke's dusty front yard, the hood of her jacket up to keep her hair from blowing across her face. The weather might have warmed up, but the wind off the East River could still be brutal. It carried with it a faint chemical smell, mixed with the Brooklyn smell of asphalt, gasoline, and burned sugar from the abandoned factory down the street.

Do you re-read your books?

    I rarely reread books. I find there is so much good stuff out there I don't want to go back and reread. Although, if it has been years and I can't remember anything about it, I might reread it. Happy Friday!

      I am not much of a re-reader either, but it had been awhile on these so thought why not. It may be years til I do it again LOL

    I do sometimes re-read books - and I often intend to but don't get to it! Happy Friday!

It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  This week's subject is:   Books on My Spring 2025 to-Read List Listen, I will be honest, I am a mood reader. I do make TBR Lists for every season, etc, but I rarely manage to read everything, or sometimes anything off of them...But here is my list which isn't really a Spring list, but what I'd like to get read before I start on my Beach Read craze! Meet Toadling. On the day of her birth, she was stolen from her family by the fairies, but she grew up safe and loved in the warm waters of faerieland. Once an adult though, the fae ask a favor of Toadling: return to the human world and offer a blessing of protection to a newborn child. Simple, right? But nothing with fairies is ever simple. Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering...
