Thank you so much!!! <3 I've been reading her books since 2007 (or whenever City of Bones was first released) and now I'm FINALLY going to meet her!!! Also, I will most likely lose the ability to speak and/or function when I actually come face-to-face with her! xD


♠ TABI⁷ ♠ ahahaha I was the same way meeting Veronica Roth a few months ago BUT I assure you that while I was super awkward, as soon as she started talking and such she just felt so normal and approachable so yeah I really hope and think you'll do fine xD

You've met Veronica Roth?! Ok, now *I'M* jealous! :D Although, I'd probably be like, "You take back Allegiant, right now! Tris deserved better!" xD Veronica seems really nice and sweet though, so you're really lucky. <3 And thank you! Cassie seems like a really sweet person as well, so hopefully, I'll do all right. ;)

Yes I have!! and while I'm probably not as much of a fan of Divergent as I was when I was younger, it was still one of my first YA reads so it will always hold a special place in my heart but yeah she was super nice, super funny, and extremely relatable ahaha I would have loved to just chat over coffee or something with your yknow? xD

That would be the dream! I'd love to be able to just sit and chat with my favourite authors, and maybe they'll inspire me to actually finish a bloody story before moving onto the next one! :P

The fact that I have the attention span of a gnat is why I'm a READER not a WRITER! xD

AGREED!

893 Pages. Plus The Short Story


✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny What do I think of Hunted? I loved it! 💖


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

I Really Need to Re-Read The First 2 Books :D

I Actually Just Ended up Re-Reading Renegades and Reading The 2nd Book

Helena wrote: "@Ginny What do I think of Hunted? I loved it! 💖"

YAY!

I Could Not Put The Book Down. Literally


✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny I’m planning to re-read Lady Midnight and Lord of Shadows this month in preparation for this! :)


✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny Me either!!! I still love Cruel Beauty more though, he he 😝

✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny Ignifex is on a whole ‘nother level when it comes to sexy Beasts 😉

;)

Agreed!

That Reminds Me. I Lent My Copy of Cruel Beauty to One of My Friends in RL and She Told Me That LOVED it. She Actually Never Gave it Back. BUT I Got a New Copy of The Book


✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny Ooh, I hate people like that! That’s why I’m always nervous to lend people books, especially when it comes to my special editions or out-of-print books.

Exactly!

I Can Count on One Hand How Many Books I Never Got Back and Had to Re-Buy. Though None of Them Were Special Editions or Out of Print Books


✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny We have to have had been friends for YEARS before I trust you with any of my precious books! :P

LOL

I Always Give People Their Books Back


✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny Because you’re a decent person! 💖 And sameeee. It’s the right thing to do.

Aww! I Tend to Type Out Extra Material from Books, Just Because My Goodreads Friends Don't Have The Same Editions as I Do.

Also I Usually Post Book Blurbs. Cover Reveals etc on People's Reviews. It is Actually SO Much Fun.

So True!


message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

BTW. Cassandra Clare Revealed The Chapter Titles for Queen of Air and Darkness

I Won't Post The Chapter Titles Because They Just Might Be Too Spoilerish

I Have a Spoiler Policy. Where I Don`t Post Spoilerish Gifs from TV Shows or Movies UNTIL I Know That Everyone Has Seen The TV Show or Movie. This Spoiler Policy Actually Helps


Kayla I'm so happy for you!!! Years ago I would've KILLED to meet CC. I hope that QoAaD is everything you hoped for! Ahhhhhh I'm not even gonna read this book but I'm excited!!!


✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny I saw that! And I don’t think I’ve ever posted spoilers???


✨ Helena ✨ @Kayla Thank you! I’m sorry you fell out of love with the series!

I Know How to Hide Spoilers :D

That`s Good!

Thank you so much! <3 I hope that I shall, and hopefully, you'll meet her one day, too! :)

BEWARE

Spoilers for Queen of Air and Darkness are Coming Out. Books Google Accidentally Released a Preview of The Last 100 or So Pages of The Book. Some People Saw The Ending Before The Pages Were Taken Down.


✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny OMG 😱 That’s awful. Thanks for the heads up!!!


message 46: by [deleted user] (new)

I Know Right??? I Found Out Two Days Later, After The Leak Happened

Your Welcome:)


✨ Helena ✨ @Ginny Yikes. 100 pages is excessive! I mean the last couple of pages is to be expected...but 100?!!! And I’d assume it’d be super spoilery as it’ll directly lead to the forthcoming Wicked Powers trilogy! 😧


message 48: by len ❀ (new)

len ❀ helena omg congrats!! i hope you have such an amazing time! i’ve never met an author, especially a favorite of mine, but i love knowing some of my friends have met their biggest inspirations and favorite people. can’t wait to see a picture of you two, if there will be one and you decide to post it!! 💖💖💖


✨ Helena ✨ @Maggie Thank you so much!!! Cassie will be the first author that I’ve ever met and I’m so looking forward to it! I hope that I’ll be able to capture some photos: either of the two of us or just her. :) I also hope that you’ll be able to meet some of your favourite authors in the future!!! <3

I Know o.0

I Have Not Seen Any of The Spoilers People Are Not Saying Much about The Ending etc. Just That It Got Leaked and That They Read The Ending BUT They are Not Spoiling it for The Fans Publicly.

The People Who Want to Know, are Privately Messaging The People Who Read The Ending
