My Favorite Reads Giveaway Hop



Yay!  It's time to showcase some of our favorite reads and how better to spread the word than with a giveaway?!?  Up for grabs, I have one of my favorite YA series:

Add to Goodreads







In City of Bones, the handsome Jace introduces fifteen-year-old Clary Fray to the world of the Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of warriors dedicated to driving demons out of our world. She’s sure that Valentine, the evil and powerful Shadowhunter, is responsible for her mother’s disappearance, but she’s about to discover much more…. In the second book, City of Ashes, Clary’s mother remains in a mysterious coma, and danger abounds now that the Shadowhunter world knows Valentine is still alive—and that Clary and Jace are his children. Will Valentine succeed in making the Mortal Instruments his forever? In book three, City of Glass, Clary has to use all her ingenuity and newfound magical skills to get herself to the secretive Shadowhunters’ home country in an attempt to cure her mother’s enchanted sleeping sickness. When Valentine attacks the city and destroys the demon towers, the past tangles inextricably with the present as Clary and Jace face down their father.



** The boxed set up for grabs contains the first three books in The Mortal Instruments series by Cassie Clare.  It is the paperback boxed set and it is pre-loved, though gently.  I've since bought myself the boxed set in hardcover so that all of my copies for this series match.  In case you weren't aware, I'm a little neurotic like that.  :D **

I bought this series in 2010 when I was trying to discover something new to read after finishing The Hunger Games.  However, it sat on my shelves for a few months before I finally gave in and gave it a read.  And then I immediately pre-ordered City of Fallen Angels and read it in a day when it arrived.  Okay, I lie.  I pre-ordered it but I couldn't wait a few days to start it, so I downloaded a copy to my Nook for immediate reading pleasure.  (Again, I'm a little neurotic, especially when it comes to my books.)  Anyway, I have City of Lost Souls waiting for me at home, and I can't wait to get caught up on review books so I can get to it.

Before entering the Rafflecopter form below, just a reminder that this giveaway is for US residents only and the winner must respond within 48 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be selected.  Also, again, please be aware that this boxed set has previously been read but is in good condition with minimal wear and tear.  Thanks for entering and good luck!
