August: Book of the month!

Hi again!
Lots of websites do a thing called 'Book of the month', in which a group/club read 1 book together, and discuss about it. I think this is a great opportunity for anyone who likes to read and would like to chat to a group about what they thought on [any novel] eg. I thought 'Legend' by Marie Lu was an outstanding novel, I loved the themes and aspects and the writing was beautiful. 

I have chosen 2 novels which you, the readers, can select which one you would prefer to read in August. You can read one of the two novels, or if you are really in the spirit you can read both! 

The first novel is.....

The Maze Runner by James Dashner  

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.
Just like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they've closed tight. And every thirty days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.
Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. 
Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.



The second novel is....


City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

To celebrate the release of the movie 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' coming out 21st August 2013, We are going to read City of Bones (the book the movie is based on).

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . . . 
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.
