  9. Uhm, because who doesn't want Ed Westwick & Molly Quinn reading to them? Just listened to the first chapter & Westwick is a fantastic audio reader. I'm really impressed.

    Also, I'd like to win because I've never owned an audio book before, but people swear by them for house cleaning afternoons & long drives. Well, I've got a fourteen hour drive coming up in May, so this would be great to listen to. I think Ed & Molly would be perfect car company.

  10. I'd love to win because I can't wait for the book to come out in my own country. I just love both actors' voices and I think this is going to be the best present for a academic year finished. Also, this is one of my most favourite series ever. ^^

    ReplyDelete
  11. I would love to win because I LOVE this series! It is my absolute favorite. I've never listened to an audiobook before, but I would definitely listen to this one over and over again. I would love to just lay there, close my eyes, and listen to Ed Westwick serenade me with the story of Jace and Clary!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I would love to win this because, with exams coming up, I barely have time to sleep, so reading is certainly out of the question. I would love to be able to drift away while listening to Ed Westwick when I'm supposed to be working ;)

    ReplyDelete
  13. I am so glad release day is finally here! I've been waiting for what feels like forever. Yay!! I would love to win because then my son and I can enjoy the book together--he's been waiting, too. :-)

  17. I would love to win the audio book. I've always wanted to try an audiobook and TMI series is my favorite series, so this would be perfect. That, and I've never won a contest in my life LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Why I would like to win? Because this is the best series ever, of course! I love everything Cassandra Clare writes. The audiobook would be perfect for my trip to a family reunion at the end of May! And Ed Westwick's voice is drool-worthy.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I would love to win because I have not ever listened to an audiobook. And because it is from an author whose books I love, I think it would be a great introduction to audiobooks. An added bonus is Ed Westwick!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I would love to win because I have a story/happening with The Mortal Instrument series. When I first picked up City of Bones at the library I wasn't for sure I would like it. I couldn't get into the book. I told my husband that I wasn't interested in finishing the book.

    However, I told myself that I like to finish what I started. I tell you what by the next chapter I read I was hooked and went back to the library to get City of Ashes and City of Glass. I read all three books in four to five days!

    This series told me never to give up on something I started. Now looking back I am so glad I stuck to it. I would have missed one of the most exciting series I have read for a long time! Jace and Clary's story is amazing! I heart it! Loved the ending to City of Glass! Ready for City of Fallen Angels!!!

    An audiobook set would be great to have to remind me of this wonderful series! Plus, it would be my first audiobook!

    P.S. Ed Westwick! Gossip Girlfan... enough said!

    Sorry My computer messed up and I had to re-send it. The other was deleted.

  21. I love this series!! And Ed's voice makes me melt!! Id want to win an audiobook!!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'd love to win this audiobook first because I have never actually listened to an audiobook. Second, because both Ed Westwick & Molly Quinn voices' sound fantastic so it would be quite a great first audiobook for me. Third because I am so so so very excited for this book and it seems like I've waited forever for it to come out! And fourth because this series is very super tastically(lol) awesome! =)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Why do I want to win? I have never tried out an audiobook. Never! And I would love for my first time to be with THIS book!! :0)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I would absolutely love to win because The Mortal Instruments is one of my all-time favorite series. Plus I'm really curious to hear the audio version and to make TMI my first foray into audio books.

    Thanks for the super giveaway. ^_^

  30. I like to share books with my daughter and audiobooks are a great way to do that especially for books that may be seem to daunting for her to read. Audiobooks are also a good activity we can do together and later talk about the book(s).
    I am a blog follower.
    Thank you for the giveaway

  32. I would LOOOVVVE to win because since I have read TMI Series I have been talking about it all the time! I introduced them to my friends! I read the entire series in less than a week! The characters are so amazing and captivating! And as an added bonus I get to listen to ED WESTWICK! I mean that's just like *sighhs* AMAZING! I'm a huge fan and I also ADORE MOLLY! She is SOOOO GREAT TOO!.. Audiobooks are just sincerely AMAZING!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm not a huge audiobook person either, but I absolutely love Molly and Ed, I've watched both Castle and Gossip Girl, and they're both amazing! I think they're going to do an amazing job on the audiobook, and I'd love to get to listen to it, especially after hearing the sneak peek that Ed narrated! :D
    Thanks for the chance to win! :D

    ReplyDelete
  34. I would like to win because I've never heard an audio book before and I love this series

    ReplyDelete
  35. I would absolutely LOVE to win this giveaway because it's one thing to read a book and another to hear it. I've actually never owned an audio book before (always preferring the former option), but after listening to this excerpt chapter, I'm hooked! Ed Westwick is so good at reading from what I've heard already, and I love Molly Quinn on Castle so I'm excited to hear her too!

    Also, the Mortal Instruments series has always been my favourite since the moment I started, and I can't wait to HEAR about my fave characters (like Jace and Clary!)!

    Thank you so much for this giveaway!

    And yes, I'm a blog follower :)

  37. Hi,
    My name is Lauren and I have been a devoted Cassandra Clare fan for years. I follow everything that she does. I read the blogs here, I follow both Mundie Moms and Cassandra Clare on twitter, and I check all of Cassie's websites daily (inluding her live journal). And, now that I sound like an internet stalker, I would love to win this prize and if I win one, I know that I will treasure it for life. And...Ed has a super sexy voice.

    Thank you for this opprutunity

  38. I was recently introduced to the MOrtal Instruments series and listened to the first 3 audiobooks all in a row (as quickly as possible)! So of course I have to listen to the audio of the 4th book -- it will be so interesting to hear it with two narrators instead of one.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hi its Erika, also known as ShezAMetaphor on twitter (you ladies always write back to me and it's probably the one of the main reasons to why I love your site so much!) Although I have already purchased the book (and should be receiving it sometime this week) it would be awesome to win this audio book my schedule has become extra busy, not to mention that I am a very big fan of the Mortal Instruments books and am extra happy that Ed Westwick is one of the narrators! These are definitely hands down my favorite book series, and Cassandra Clare is awesome at communicating back to us fans through her twitter,and as I said before the mundie moms are awesome as well in replying and keeping us up to date on everything!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Wow!! That was really 'cool'. I was not a fan of audio books...I totally loved that chapter. Maybe it was Ed narrating it?? He did a great job. I could be a convert I think. I got into a trance listening, I wasn't sure if it would keep me entertained, I kinda wanted to hear the whole book...but I can't so I must enter competition.

  43. I would love to win these because I'm a huge MI fan and it's hard to find time to read with two small children. Audio books would be great because I can listen while driving. :-)

  44. I would like to win because I am actually listening to my first audiobook now, City of Bones, and I would like to continue for the whole series.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I would love to enter because I'm a fan of this series and I haven't read the book yet. Plus, I keep hearing that Ed Westwick's voice is so awesome & I just have to hear it for myself. And I'm a fan of Molly Quinn in Castle. :)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  46. I love this series and have read all the books a number of times. I've never really like audiobooks because the voice reading the ook always seemed wrong, but Ed's voice is perfect for the series.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I would love to win because I just listened to the first chapter and now I want to cry that I can not hear the rest of the story! I have only listened to one other audiobook and I did not like it. I think it was just the reader. Ed's voice and accent are so great to listen to. Such a great giveaway.

  54. Who wouldn't want it? It would look especially nice next to the other three audios I have for COB COS and COG. I must read the book first, then I reread over and over by audio at work, in my car and whenever else I am able.

  55. I Love this series...and I would love to win because I have never tried the audio books before.

  56. This would be my first audio book so what better book for it to be than one from one of the best authors. I LOVE the TMI series and british accents so winning would be the frosting on the cupcake. I could tune out everyone at work and be in heaven! Ahhh!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I would love to win because, a: I love The Mortal Instruments, they are what brought me to YA b: I LOVE AUDIOBOOKS! c: Molly Quinn's addorable and HELLO Ed Westwick has the sexiest voice ever!!!! This recording may win over Jim Dale's Harry Potter readings which are seriously great. (Jim Dale's voice isn't sexy, he just does a great job, just sayin').
    Thanks for the contest:)

  58. Though I am not usually a huge fan of audiobooks either, I knew I had to have this set for my Mortal Instruments collection as soon as I heard Ed Westwick and Molly Quinn were reading City of Fallen Angels! I would like to win, no NEED to win one of these sets because who wouldn't like to spend several hours listening to Ed Westwick read all of Jace's sarcastic and sexy lines to them? Winning a City of Fallen Angels audiobook would be amazing! Its like having a sexy story time in your pocket that you can secretly listen to on your ipod to get your daily fix of Jace, Clary, Simon, and all your other favorite characters!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Like a lot of others who posted, I'm not a fan of audiobooks normally. Nothing against them, I just prefer the actual book. However, after listening to the first chapter, read by Ed Westwick, well.....*swoons*..... I love his voice, and the fact that he'll be reading all of Jace's sarcastic retorts!?!? *swoon#2*. I truly enjoyed listening to it. I can't wait to hear Molly Quinn's parts as well.

    Winning would be awesome b/c I've re-read the TMI books plenty of times...now I could listen to CoFA a ton as well! (Not to mention the signed cover would look pretty sweet in a frame lol)

    Thanks for the chance to win!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Never in my life have I owned audiobooks, but Ed Westwick has made me a fan! i'm waiting patiently for my copy of CoFA to arrive so winning the audio would be icing on the cake! I would love to make my first ever audio book be CoFA!
    Thank you for the chance to win truly amazing prizes!!

  62. I'd love to win because after listening to the first chapter I'd love to hear the rest of the book.

  75. I've always found it difficult to get into audiobooks, but the Mortal Instruments series happens to be the exception. The only audiobooks I've actually listened to, from beginning to end, were the TMI books. And after listening to Ed Westwick and Molly Quinn narrating CoFA, I'm nearly desperate for it. I bought the book, but I'd love to listen to it as well. Thanks :)

  84. LOVE THE SERIES!! A big fan of audiobooks, and listening to Ed Westwick while driving--I'm surprised I get anywhere! :) I love how he switches accents for the characters!

    ReplyDelete
  85. I would like to win...why? Hmmm...I have been ever so fascinated in Cassandra Clare's books since I stumbled onto it when I was searching for books to read. Since the first book, City of Bones, I have not been able to put it down, not until I have finished the book. With each turn of the page, I wanted to know more. And, it continued on until I got to City of Glass. Then, I finished City of Fallen Angels. And, now, I must be patient for the release of the other books to know what happens next in the TMI and ID sagas. For me, it is the same concept when I listen to audiobooks. I had the great honor of meeting Cassie at the RT Teen Day in Los Angeles. It was so exciting! She autographed all my books, as well as many other favorite authors of mine. I guess one can say that it is a collection of autographed books. I would love to add this audiobook and autographs to my collections. I follow Cassie & her books on Twitter, Facebook and every other blog, livejournal and/or groups there is. I try to make it to any and/or all of her appearances/signings that is near my area. It's such a fun and exciting experience to hear favorite authors talk about how these books come to life. An audiobook is just another way of bringing life to the books. And, I enjoy passing things like this to my daughter, so that she can grow and appreciate the wonders of writing and books.

    So, yeah, I guess that's why I would like to win. :)
