The twelfth book in the The Skyscraper Book Project is...
Clockwork Princess
By Cassandra Clare.
Blurb: Tessa Gray should be happy - aren't all brides happy?
Yet as she prepares for her wedding, a net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute.
A new demon appears, one linked by blood and secrecy to Mortmain, the man who plans to use his army of pitiless automatons, the Infernal Devices, to destroy the Shadowhunters. Mortmain needs only one last item to complete his plan. He needs Tessa. And Jem and Will, the boys who lay equal claim to Tessa's heart, will do anything to save her.
Date started: 19th march
Date finished: 24th march
Rating out of five?: two
Why not five?: altogether, this book was just like a broken bicycle standing next to a ferrari... The ferrari being all of Cassandra Clare's other books.
Twice I picked out mistakes! Aside from ALL THAT, i enjoyed the plot of the book, and I cried toward the end.
Who would enjoy this?: All of Cassandra Clare's fans, as long as they're prepared for these few put-offs. I don't know if my copy was just like this?
Was it up to the author's general standard?: no, this paled in comparison to Clare's other works.
Was it a quick read?: no, the pace of the book was sluggish, and the transfer of one character's point of view to the next's was timed weirdly.

13 Little Blue Envelopes
By Maureen Johnson.
Blurb: Inside little blue envelope 1 are $1,000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket.
In envelope 2 are directions to a specific London flat.
The note in envelope 3 tells Ginny: Find a starving artist.
Because of envelope 4, Ginny and a playwright/thief/ bloke-about-town called Keith go to Scotland together, with somewhat disastrous-though utterly romantic-results. But will she ever see him again?
Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it's all because of the 13 little blue envelopes.
Date Started: 24th March
Date finished: 28th March
Rating out of 5: three
Why not five?: The book started out interesting and with quality enthusiasm, but as it progressed it slumped. Reading it became a chore and minor spelling mistakes (eg. At the end of a letter Ginny writes, she signs it: "hove Ginny"?) also characters were introduced steeply: I had to figure out who 'Miriam' was myself. At first I thought it was her dairy-as she describes writing in her 'journal' and starting with 'Dear Miriam', but later she e-mails this 'Miriam'. The ending, however was a nice twist.
Who would enjoy this?: readers who enjoy travel stories and European culture.
Was it up to the authors's general standards?: I'm not sure, having never read any of Johnson's other books. To be completely honest, this is a writer I'm not purposely going to look for in a shop or online. Her work left me bored of sorts and not awe-struck, as I like books to leave me. It left no burning desire to read more of her books, is basically what I'm saying.
Was it a quick read?: not really, despite the fast paced, constant moving of setting and introduction of characters, it just took a long time to absorb. I found myself repeatedly re-reading paragraphs, trying to process it, without success.

Rating out of five?: two, i was expecting great things from this book; slightly disappointed:(
Why not five?: altogether, this book was just like a broken bicycle standing next to a ferrari... The ferrari being all of Cassandra Clare's other books.
Twice I picked out mistakes: first, when Cecily and Gabriel are in the like goat-man's shop, there's a part where it says like, Gideon looked at the shelf. Was Gideon not at the Institute with Sophie. That was very confusing.
Second I found that Tessa mentioned Jessamine's death when she was in the carriage with the Dark Sister, how does Tessa know Jessamine has died (in Will's arms) if she wasn't there? (Will only comes outside after Tessa leaves)! Aside from ALL THAT, i enjoyed the plot of the book, and I cried toward the end. Maybe if the book had been revised over one more time, these would have been spotted. I think, to wait a few extra weeks, for the mistakes to be found, would have been well worth it.

Cork Holiday - Day 2
So, after an interesting and eventful day yesterday, me and my family spent a restless night tossing and turning, and throwing pillows at each other when we broke out in either fits of giggles or snores.
First thing on the agenda was breakfast which was as interesting as breakfast can be.
First fun thing on the agenda-toy factory. Yes, a toy factory.
Inside you get to make a small tin toy-I made a tin soldier. You could also make ballerinas Easter bunnies and so on. Picture at the end.
After taking a scenic detour and getting lost (Mam says she took a wrong turn on purpose, so that we could look at more scenery-my ass!), we returned to the hotel to have swim.
Typical swimming pool-a place to relax and carelessly float in a bright room, maybe even swim a few lengths and burn off that hearty breakfast.
The hotels swimming pool-a place to cautiously weave among buoyant infants and carefully avoid swallowing the gallons of water splashed into your face, maybe even sit in an area of piss that permeated one end of the pool.
Fun.
I have to give it to the hotel, the room the pool was in was impressive-biggish, warm...blue. But there was nothing to do.
Too old for the jacuzzi, too you for rubber floats, too crowded to swim, to alone to talk.
All that left me with a desire to only collapse and eat the potatoes I was served for my dinner.
I hope anyone reading this that is on holiday is having a more fun holiday than me:(:)
Actually, one interesting thing that did happen was that I went down from our room-to get a Coke-and there was a man being served beside me. He asked the bar-lady for the special. She said guinness. He repeated her, completely failing to say guinness properly. This man was american, after his drink came he apologised to the lady-i don't know why. But i thought it was cool so i said to him "i like your accent, where are you from?" Abd he said (and excuse my spelling) "Denver"! I don't know where that is, but it is one mighty fun word to say!
Hi people from denver!
Bye-bye! And the last day of my holiday is tomorrow, come back to see what happens! I mean, why not?

The Skyscraper Book Project. #11
All of my book reviews will be short and quick to read. Why? Because, imagine yourself browsing the internet, looking for a book to read.
Now, you find this really long review and you read the whole thing, taking up about ten precious minutes of your life.
And you don't even like the sound of the book, bummer!
But now, going into absolutely minor and only-if-neccessary-details, you'll waste no time finding a book, instantly being able to tell if you want to read it.
Honestly, the back-breaking labour I endure to make book searching easier.
So here is The Skyscraper Book Project:
#11 is Clockwork Prince
By Cassandra Clare
Blurb: In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, while her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will - the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers to who she is and what she was born to do? As the search for truth leads the three friends into peril, Tessa's heart is increasingly torn, especially when one of their own betrays them...
Date started: lol, I forget
Date finished: 18th march '13
Rating out of five: four
Why not five?: although it was really good, it wasn't as captivating and mind-blowing as any of the Mortal Instruments books were. Some parts of the story had a dream-like kind of quality, like I was like, yeah this is good, but I feel like going outside to exercise-I don't exercise. But that's what happened.
Who would enjoy this?: anyone who loved the Mortal Instruments; people who like that kind of dark magic, demon, in-the-time-of-Queen-Victoria-thing.
Was it up to the Author's general standard?: Yup!
Was it a quick read?: yes, as long as you have maybe four consecutive hours, you could finish it in a day.

Cork Holiday - Day 1
As all family holidays do, ours started with the loading of the car.
After sustaining minor injuries everybody was settled and comfortably sulking in their seats.
We shot off (crawled along) the road (the lane) toward our destination of relaxing luxurious hotel time (hellish, loud, panicky time). Yay.
"Next stop," said Mam, "the 'Blackrock Castle and Observatory''s restaurant.
Yeah...that didn't happen...
First stop - the middle of a busy crossroads because the car cut out. Fun? No, not really. Terrifying? Yup!
With that first disaster over,we made it to our first destination. The Blackrock Castle and Observatory. The food was really really nice, especially the dessert. It was almost as good as the Premier takeaway back home.
The only bad thing I will say about the restaurant is the waiter was THE most arrogant man I have EVER met.
Mam called him over from his cash register where he was twiddling a pen around his fingers, for a dessert menu.
This man, then came over, all slouched over and looked at her like she was a slug in his lettuce.
When she asked for what she wanted he goes: "Ughhhh, in a minuuuuuuute!"
He then stalked back to his counter and continued twiddling this pen for about five minutes before actually serving us. I mean, why would you do that? Is being paid to hand somebody a menu such a hard job? Is it that horrible?
After the food, we took a castle tour.
The tour guide was all right, she told us about everything from the materials used to make the walls, to what was stacked against each one.
We got to go down into the dungeon and the aura of death and pain made your skin crawl. You could hear like an echo-y sound bouncing around the circular room and you instantly thought of screaming people being mercilessly tortured.
On this tour there was a small american family. They seemed nice enough-made a few jokes, politely held the door open for me, blah, blah, blah.
I thought it would be really funny if I started talking in Irish to my sister, as they wouldn't know what we were saying.
I failed..epically.
Instead of saying something sophisticated and impressive i decided to start praying. Yeah.
Of course it had to get worse and mam said REALLY loudly: "You scared the castles gonna fall down on ya, or something?"
The americans looked at me really weirdly after that.
The rest of the day was spent in the car, driving through a snow fall on a motorway.
Just fighting with that annoying sister again about whether the precipitation was snow or sleet-it was snow!
Tune in tomorrow for day 2!
Thanks for following my misfortune and don't forget to friend me on goodreads.
By the way-got a friend request yesterday, Mexican guy, you don't know how happy I was when I got that!:) thank you-even though you're probably not reading this.
Im just praying you're not like a forty year old stalking me!:/ please don't be!

The Skyscraper Book Project-The beginning.
Being the weird human being I am, I felt as though my life was just something you might read on the back of a shampoo bottle: get up, go to school, come home, do homework, eat dinner, go to bed, repeat.
Having hobbies didn't help. It was only making the events above seem more emphised? If that makes sense.
You spend ten minutes on the piano, but that's just while you're waiting for it to be late enough to go to bed. You get out on your bike, but you're really waiting for dinner to be ready.
I thought about it, a lot. Seriously, a lot. I thought I might be depressed or something. I considered this a last resort kind of thing, if I couldn't find a way to make my life more interesting, I would go to someone about the depression. So I figured, if I start doing something I really like and then prioritise it and get other people involved, it might help.
In my head it has worked! Its really exciting, and you probably know what it is by the title, but yes I am starting 'The Skyscraper Book Project.'
The Skyscraper Book Project is a project which anyone under the age of twenty one can get involved with. Basically the idea is to read one thousand books before you are twenty one, before you are officially an adult.
It does seem a bit ageist now that I'm typing this. Over twenty one year olds can still be involved, read the books and all but not before they're twenty one. Duh! Set your own age goal, peeps.
The posts concerning this will be updated every time I finish a book. People are welcome to come and take the book recommendations, give book recommendations, whatever.
Where do I want this to go? When I think about how I would like this to span out, I see a small, maybe not so big group of people (I realise not so many people my age want to get so into reading), all together in a bookclub of sorts.
If this brings people like me who love books together, I'd be happy. It just sounds like a really nice thing, coming online to Blogger to see the latest things people have read, blah, blah, blah.
Even if nobody else does this, at least I'll have my 1000 books. It's a high goal, i know, but I'm determined to do it!
Also, I am aware that I wont be twenty one for a good few years, but that just makes the journey look like a better one. Work will have to be put into this.
The only rule: You cant read the same book twice and count it as two!
The amount of books is so big (thats why i called it the SKYSCRAPER book project), that it will certainly be impossible to stay within your comfort zone genre. You read quicker with a book you don't find particularly predictable, which reading in the one genre causes (being able to predict outcomes in books, I mean).
As I've already read ten books so far this year (and I'm NOT proud of that!) I'll post them up later today.
I think I've said everything now.
Plus, I googled this earlier and there is absolutely nothing like this out there, just lists of books you should read before you die/ before the end of the year/ immediatley.
Am i reading by myself, or is anyone going to conment and read too?
