#ShareMortalLove Day #3 Reveal: ALEC!


We have our ALEC!!! @MortalMovie's first 4 clues gave us a pretty good idea as to who was going to be revealed today. They treated fans to a 5th clue before the big reveal. 

Check out clue #5


"My love may be hidden.... for now. Who am I?"

The BIG Reveal!


"The hunt for his love is in the shadows.... for now."

ALEC!!! So now we've gotten a look at Simon, Izzy and now Alec. Does that mean Magnus is next? I am seriously hoping it is. I need MAGNUS! lol 

Check out the HD picture from Hollywood Crush, who had this to say:


What's Kevin Zegers — the handsome, Canadian-born actor who plays Alec Lightwood in the upcoming adaptation of Cassandra Clare's YA saga The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones — thinking in this exclusive photo? Only the Shadowhunters know.
But from the looks of things (and, they definitely have the look right, as Zegers is sporting the Shadowhunters tattooed markings), Alec Lightwood is having an intense moment at The Institute. Perhaps he had a pow-wow with his rough-around-the-edges sister Isabelle (Jemima West) about what to do with their unexpected guest Clary (the tale's heroine, played by Lily Collins) or maybe he's just caught the eye of fellow Shadowhunter Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower) or the warlock Magnus (Godfrey Gao).
What do you guys think? I'm loving our cast!  Who do you guys want to see next?

Blog Tour: This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith (Author Guest Post / Giveaway)


Happy Monday! It's the week of Valentine's Day and what better way to kick off this week than by having Jennifer E Smith on the blog. I'm thrilled to be apart of Little Brown's tour for Jennifer's upcoming release This Is What Happy Looks Like (out April 2nd, 2013).  Jennifer's debut The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight (now out in paperback) was featured on my favorites list last year. I'm excited to have Jennifer on MM's to talk about her upcoming release. 



As an author, I think you sometimes can’t help feeling a little protective toward the characters you create.  Just like real people, some of them are easier to love than others.  For example, in The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, Oliver is kind of a no-brainer.  He’s incredibly likeable, and it was no surprise at all when I started hearing from readers who had fallen in love with him right away.  Hadley, on the other hand, can be a bit more challenging.  At the beginning of the book, she’s not in the best frame of mind.  And who can blame her?  She’s on her way to see her father get married to a woman she’s never met before, and she’s pretty bitter about it.  Over the course of the book, she softens a bit – with Oliver’s help – but it’s surprised me how many readers have felt a little impatient with her at first.  

For me, it’s easy to see the hurt beneath all that resentment, to understand that it comes from somewhere deeper.  But then, I’m the one who invented her, so I suppose it’s a bit like how a parent with a really funny-looking kid can’t help thinking they’re beautiful.  Oliver senses it too, though; he sees right to the heart of her, and it’s because of that – because of him – that she’s able to start moving forward again.  Of course, I wish that all readers could see that too, but their frustration with her is also a sign that she’s three-dimensional enough to provoke that kind of feeling, and as long as they understand her more by the end of the book, then I feel like I’ve done my job.  She might not be as immediately easy to love as some characters, but in my opinion, she’s definitely worth the wait.  (And, of course, in the meantime, there’s always Oliver!)

THANK YOU Jennifer for being on the blog today!

Mundane Monday #174- Izzy & Simon

Happy Mundane Monday!  In honor of this weekend's Share Mortal Love reveals of Simon & Izzy, today's MM is of Simon & Izzy.


"You came." She stretched her arm across hi schest, moving so that her head fit against his shoulder. "I didn't think you' would."

His fingers traced patterns on her arm. "Of course I came."

Her next words were muffled against his neck. "Sorry I"m asleep." 

He smiled to himself, a little, in the dark. "It's okay. Even if all you wanted was for me to come here and hold you while you sleep, I would have done it."

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, the Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive—this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood. -quoted from Goodreads
