The Secrets of Mary Bowser Pt. 2
HELLO, MY POTATOES!!!! It's Potato Girl here with another blog for you. I've done at least 60 minutes this week, so this is going to be a long blog. Anyways I hope you guys enjoy this blog and make to check out the book The Secrets of Mary Bowser. It's a real page-turner!
We left at where Mary El found out about the true nature of Philadelphia. She thought the colored people there were neither nor slaves. But still, Mary El decided to leave it behind and continue with her high school. Later on, after she left high school, a man named Theodore asked for her hand in marriage. Mary El refused though because she thought of Theodore's thoughts on her parents as wrong. I thought about it too, and I agreed with Mary El at the time. I still do agree. Later on, Hattie and Mary El fought out their differences, and it concluded with Hattie telling her a secret. Her father was an undertaker, and he hid slaves in coffins to ship them up to Philadelphia. "This was part of the Underground Railroad," Hattie said. "And you have to promise not to tell a soul." Mary El promised and decided to live with Hattie and father later on. After this, the most tragic thing happened. Mary EL's mom died, leaving Mary El shattered. She stayed in a depression for a year. And that's when I stopped reading.
Sorry, you guys that I left you on a cliffhanger. But I assure I will finish this book soon.

Mortal Instruments Pt.3
HELLO, MY POTATOES!!!!! It's POTATO GIRL here with another blog. This is the third book of the Mortal Instrument series: The City of Glass. This is my personal favorite out of the series, and I hope you enjoy it! Anyways, make sure to comment down below what you think of these blogs!
Enjoy!
Clary was about to go to Idris, the Shadowhunter city until a demon attack happened, leaving Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec to head through the portal. Unfortunately, Madeline was killed in the attack, which caused me to be upset. I thought she would have a least stayed in the book for a little longer. Anyways, Clary creates a rune and opens a portal to Idris with Luke, but the portal backfires and they both are bounced off of the boundaries and into Lake Lyn. This causes her to see some weird things, and I mean WEIRD things. She wakes up us Amatis Graymark's house. Amatis is Luke's sister.
Let's skip to when Clary and Jace find Jace's old house, the one where he lived in as a child. Before we start, I to introduce a very important character to this story, Sebastian Penhallow. He has become a friend of Clary and lives in the Penhallow manor. He and Clary find a special book to cure their mother. But they also find out that Jace is part demon. This put Jace out of it until the demons somehow get through Idris's boundaries and into the city. Meanwhile, Alec finds Magnus cornered by demons in the city and saves his life. They have a cute Malec talk and they decide to fight off the demons. I literally fangirled at this because Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bane are meant to be together, they are just being introverts. Earlier in the story, Simon was put in the Gard prison for being a dangerous vampire. So he now going to die in the Gard due to the fire the demons set.
I bet you guys need some explanation. Vampires are considered Downworlders and Shadowhunters aren't very fond of them. So they aggressive towards each other to their opinions. I swear these people always fight because of opinion and category. Why can't we all just get along? Anyways Clary and the others save Simon and a mysterious man from the prison, only to find out that the mysterious man is Hodge, and that he has answers. But before he can give the answers, the most amazing cliffhanger happens when Sebastian kills him. I was about to cry from the lack of information. It just stops you in your place to see a cliffhanger and not the good kind of stop. It's like your about to throw the book across the room and throw a tantrum.
Let's skip to when Valentine comes to Idris and declares war with the Shadowhunters. With the Mortal sword in his possession, he can control demons and use them to destroy the Shadowhunters. Clary convinces the Council to have the Downworlders aid them in battle with a special rune she made. Jace in all of this fled to find Sebastian and kill him. The reason because of this is he is a spy for Valentine and he killed max Lightwood in the middle of the fight. He goes to a field and is knocked out. When he wakes up, Jace is tied up and in a house with Sebastian. It is revealed that Jace isn't Valentine's son and that it really was Sebastian who was half demon. Jace and Sebastian had a showdown in a field right outside the house to show who was the better warrior, but Isabelle intervened and killed Sebastian.
Jace started going to Lake Lyn, where he found out was the Mortal Mirror. He found Valentine about to kill Clary. Jace took the blade for Clary and died right in front of her eyes. This left me a little distraught because Jace was one of the main characters, meaning that killing him would be the downfall of the series. Valentine did the ritual to summon the angel Raziel, but, to my surprise, was killed by Raziel spitting on him. Talk about an anticlimactic death. NAyways Raziel gave Clary a wish, and she decided to use it to bring Jace back to life. In the end, Jace and Clary get back together. And Valentine is dead, the demons fled Idris, and everything is right with the world.
Enjoy!

The Mortal Instruments Pt. 2
HELLO, MY POTATOES!!! I'm POTATO GIRL and I'm back with part 2 of the mortal instrument blogs. Now, you may be wondering,"Potato Girl, how many parts are there to these blogs. Well, I'm doing a blog reaction to each blog, so after this, there are going to be 4 more blogs. Anyways, today I'm posting my reaction to the second book in the series: The City Of Ashes. Hope you dudes enjoy!
We stopped off when Clary and Jace found out they were siblings, and they were finding the cure for their mother, Jocelyn Fairchild. Valentine's whereabouts are revealed in the prolog of the story. where he gets a warlock child to summon a very strong demon, but the warlock gets killed in the process. The mysterious demon and Valentine make a deal, and the prolog ends.
The real story starts at the Institute when Alec and Isabelle's mother (Maryse), father (Robert) and little brother (Max) return from their trip in Idris. Maryse suddenly curses out Jace by saying he's just like his father Valentine, and that she doesn't want to see him anymore. This causes Jace to leave and cause havoc in a werewolf bar. At Simon's house, where Simon and Clary are starting to fall in love. I was a bit upset with this because I thought Jace and Clary would end up together. Even though they're siblings, it's obvious the two love each other. As I usually say, love is love and it doesn't matter who you love as long as the love is true and not one-sided.
Luke calls Clary over because of what Jace did. It turns out that Maryse said those things because the Inquisitor, also known as Imogen Herondale, was coming to take away Jace to the Silent City, where he will later be put to trial under the Mortal Sword. The Shadowhunters believed that the Mortal Sword is one of the 3 Mortal Instruments. When these instruments are combined in a certain ritual, Angel Raziel will come down to the person responsible of the ritual and grant them a wish. The Instruments are the Mortal Cup, the Mortal Sword, and the Mortal Mirror. The Mortal Cup, as you know, can turn regular people n Shadowhunters. The Mortal Sword can make Shadowhunters tell the truth. Finally, the Mortal Mirror can drive Shadowhunters into madness. The night before the trial, Valentine came to visit Jace. He says to Jace that he has big plans for the sword and the cup he stole as well. This causes Jace to get accused of stealing the sword and giving it to Valentine. He is also accused of killing one of the Silent Brothers, keepers of the Silent City.
Jace gets freed from the prison by Clary, Isabelle, and Alec. Clary uses a particular rune to wreck the door, which leaves the three Shadowhunters in confusion in how Clary made that strong of a rune. Clary and the others went to hide in Luke's house, causing them to meet a female werewolf named Maia Roberts. I imagined Maia as a scruffy looking girl, like a cross between a hobo and a skateboarder. I pretty much imagined myself, but older. Let's skip to when Simon was digging himself out of his grave. It turns out that while he was staying with the vampires, some vampire blood was given to him. Because of that, Simon turned into a vampire. Maia, since she is a werewolf, hates Simon. I hate people hating other races just because of how they are. It doesn't matter. This is just like the African American problem from back then.
Anyways, we later find out that Valentine has been killing Downworlders to perform a certain ritual. He needs children Downworlders, so he went after Simon and Maia. Clary, Jace, and the others go to rescue them with the help of the warlock Magnus Bane. Jace, Alec, and Isabelle discovered earlier that Clary had the power to make runes. This surprised me because NO Shadowhunter has even been able to do that. Anyways, Clary gave her friends the Fearless rune, so they were fighting better than ever. Simon was barely alive when Jace found him, so he gave Simon his blood to drink. Maia was ok, and Valentine was defeated by Clary writing "destroy" with her stele on the ship floor. Sadly, Imogen was killed by a flying demon on the ship, so she sunk to the bottom of the ocean floor. Clary and the others were about to go back to the Institute when they see Simon in the sunlight. Apparently, he was filled with Shadowhunter blood because of Jace, and could now walk in the sun. Clary was at the hospital taking care of her mom when a mysterious woman came to sit next to her. Her name was Madeline, and she knew how to cure her mother.
Now THAT was a PLOT TWIST!!! Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed my blog and stay tuned for part 3, The City Of Glass. Hope you guys liked this blog and comment on my other blogs. Also, comment on whether I should add a co-host to aid me with these blogs. You know, a person that can read these books with me. BYE MY POTATOES!!!!
