You could read Clockwork Angel, which is the other series Cassandra Clare has written. You could also read Divergent, Legend, or Delirium, which are all similar :)

Hey! I LOVE Clockwork Angel <3

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. It's about Assassin's and the main character, Celaena Sardothien, is basically the female counterpart of Jace Wayland XD

Has anyone heard of WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE?
I will make fans of you.

Here's the pilot, it speaks for itself... literally:

Okay, well it's a fake radio series about an imaginary town--it has a really famous Facebook page.

A distopia told by the oblivious voice of the radio announcer who explains everything with the heat of cheer and a silky voice. Listening, you forget what's being said but then you realize--wait, what the heck?

Full of ironic humour (such as "Wednesday has been cancelled due to scheduling error") and deliciously dark. Night Vale is better than most of today's TV even if its only audio--and it's completely free on Itunes.

Man, I can't believe how you guys do it all the time! It doesn't snow here a whole lot but scraping ice off of the car is no fun! :(

How's the weather temperature wise?

right now we're at 19degrees❄️

Fahrenheit or Celsius?

F
I live in Virginia which is technically "southern"
like even florida's getting snow!!

My gosh, that's -7 Celsius. You poor thing (I'm not being sarcastic, by the way, I'd want good weather if I was that south). It's terrible here too but we're 'supposed' to be used to it--being Canadian and all.
In Farenheit, it's 0 here but yesterday it was -40. Not at all helped by the snow we have to scrape from our driveway every second day. Normally, it's this cold in winter but there's barely any snow. This year was an exception.

Someone even spray painted 'Hell Has Frozen Over' on a snow bank with black paint for the whole highway to see. ^-^' Ah, winter.

Its 23F here. Its not even as cold as the other states but this is the South and we aren't used to this type of weather. Haha, so yeah just ranting.

Blood bone, where are you from?

I'm from Manitoba, you?


I hate it when it gets cold in the South. It makes you feel like there's nowhere in the world you can escape from it.

blood bone
im so sorry!! my cousin lives in Canada

Just call me BBAM, it's easier.

ok then bbm

bbam*

Merci~!
Whereabouts in Canada? :D

near london ontario
other than that I honestly don't know

I used to live near there. That's a beautiful, warmer, lusher part of Canada. But I'm guessing from my Ontario sources that your cousin experienced some awful weather this year as well. Something about -40 near Toronto--which barely ever gets snow.

I'm from Louisiana. I used to work in Hawaii and would meet Canadian tourists all the time during winter. Its like their getaway and I don't blame them for wanting a tropical paradise. Its super freezing there!

haha yup, that's what I've heard as well

ya we went to the carribean for the holidays and we almost frickin died from going from 100degreesF every day to 10degreesF everyday

No kidding! Did you hear about the New Year? That went down to minus fifty-eight. My boots can only take anything lower than -22 and even sitting in the car for fifteen minutes was enough to loose feeling in ones feet.

Strangely enough, not many people go for walks around here. ((That night they warned homes in the country to bring in their animals, cats, dogs and anything which could easily die of hypothermia in)).


Oh, I love Louisiana! I visited a while ago with my family. Unfortunately, we didn't see many tourist destinations or even breached the city of New Orleans--but I did hear some Cajun/Acadian French. Those were some of the coolest swamps I'd ever seen. What a place! ((Sorry, I'm a bit gitty. It is an awesome State: visually, historically.))

ok that's crazy
and my friend's mom is from louisiana- i really want to go!

Oh my BBM! With you saying that, it seems like I didn't even have the right to complain about my weather problems now! Hahaha. I would not even leave the house in such freezing weather!

I'm glad you liked Louisiana! :) Yes, there are a lot of historical sites and I haven't really visited all, but its really fun getting to know the back stories of the state.

Warning:Random share

So it's like really cold right now. I'm all bundled up and drinking hot chocolate. I can't help but think of places I'd rather be right now where there is sunshine and the beach. :D :D

So my totally random question is:

What was your favorite vacation and why? I'd like to know! :D

My fav vacay was probably when I went to Cali, and Ikr! It is freezing!!! And (random share) my grandparents were in Fiji fro the week and I was so geloes but now they r in New Zealand

Jinnie: Fiji? Uhmm, I'm so jealous right now! Hahaha. I love the pacific islands. Then New Zealand? Wow, they are on a roll!

I was wondering if someone could help me post a picture, a moving picture and where I get them. I would love to post one to express a book or my excited of an upcoming book.

Nikita: Are you talking about a gif? Like this?

Yes.

@Nikita those are called GIFs, and you could look them up on google and a million will come up. You can put in 'excited GIF' and look at Google images. To post the GIF you like into the comments of Goodreads, click the link above the comment box that says '(some html is ok)'
In there, you'll see 'image:' with a long HTML after it. Copy the HTML and put it here. Then in that HTML where it says 'http://www.goodreadsblahblahblah' copy and paste the URL of the GIF you want to use. To get the URL of the GIF, just left click it and click 'copy image URL'

Hope I helped!

Nikita: First you would need the url of the image you want to post. A url is something like http://img.blahblahblah.gif

Then you need to use an html code so that it would appear on here.

I will try it. Thank you

I did it. Thank you. :)

@Nikita haha awesome! Now if you want the GIFs to be the right shape, you can adjust the 'width' and 'height' so they look better. You can use the 'preview' button to see if you like the size

Nikita:

@Grace and Kate Thank you both so much.

Anytime! :)
