The Mortal Instruments SeriesThe Mortal Instruments book series by Cassandra Clare has been wowing readers for more than five years, and filmmakers have caught on! The movie for "City of Bones" was recently released and is now showing in theaters.

The Mortal Instruments Series: Book 1: City of Bones Book 2: City of Ashes Book 3: City of Glass Book 4: City of Fallen Angels Book 5: City of Lost Souls The Fault in Our Stars movie; Wait, WHAT?That's right, John Green fans. I'm happy to break this news to you if you haven't already heard. "The Fault in Our Stars" is being made into a movie! John Green is documenting the process as well. Learn more here: TFIOS The Movie. If you aren't familiar with John Green, he writes realistic young adult fiction that is incredibly witty and filled with heart. Yes, his books often contain sad events, but they are handled in a way that will make you fall in love with his characters. Have you already read TFIOS? Try another one of Green's books, such as: Looking for Alaska Paper Towns An Abundance of Katherines Will Grayson, Will Grayson (co-written) Let it Snow (co-written) More copies of these titles will be coming to the library soon! On October 22, Veronica Roth's "Allegiant" (Book 3 in the Divergent series) will be released!Have you heard of this fantastic series? If you haven't, now is the time to start reading it. The Hunger Games books have nothing on these. Here is my review of the first book, "Divergent": After leaving her docile family and the safe world she grew up in-- but never truly felt a part of, Beatrice Prior attempts to forge her way into a cut-throat society of fearless thrill seekers. She joins one of five societal factions, known as the "Dauntless," and fights to win her place among the savage and the brave. On this journey, Beatrice, AKA Tris, finds her inner strength, new friends, romance, and some like-minded individuals who believe the Dauntless should use their courage and skills for more than intimidation. As things become tense among the other sectors of society, Tris must use her divergent way of thinking to escape tyranny and overthrow a plot to harm the innocent.
