The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Anyone unhappy with the core cast (like me) won’t be thrilled with the rest. What’s glaringly apparent is that the jobless situation in the US isn’t limited to everyday work. Yes the casting directors of CoB don’t seem to like casting […]

Monday’s Musings -Red Light Good, Green Light Bad

June 4, 2012 by unwasted words

We all fear the dreaded book to movie adaptation. There has been a lot of chatter about the on again off again relationship between City of Bones and Hollywood. Honestly for me the possible shelving of this project by the current filmmakers was not a bad thing. This is partially due to the casting. I despise the casting so far for either of the lead characters and am very disappointed in the whole Twilight strategy in finding a male lead. […]

Book of the Week!!! 05/07-05/14

May 7, 2012 by unwasted words

Am I the only one who wishes she was a Shadowhunter? Cassandra Clare manages to combine all my favorite supernatural species with a pretty cool world. City of Bones is one of my favorite YA books and not just because of the characters and story lines, but because of the lingo. Clare did what few authors are able to create, a literary language that crosses over to pop culture. Mundanes and Downworlders alike can agree that a turn of phrase […]
