April Book Suggestions!


Hey!  It’s that time again!  It’s our 2nd monthly book suggestions!  Below you will find book suggestions for Kim and I for this month.  As always, we’d love your input!  Have you read one of the books we’ve suggested in the past?  Do you have any book suggestions for us?  Let us know!  Just comment here or send an e-mail to n3rdcastblog@gmail.com!

Kim’s suggestion is:

City of Bones (Mortal Instruments, Book 1) By Cassandra Clare 

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. . .


And in honor of my co-host’s 29th birthday this month, (don’t forget it’s on the 10th!)  I’m selecting:


What if you closed your eyes, blew out the candles, and your wish came true? 

Ellie Jerome is a young-at-heart seventy-five-year-old who feels she has more in common with her twenty-nine-year-old granddaughter, Lucy, than her fifty-five-year-old daughter, Barbara. Ellie’s done everything she can to stay young, and the last thing she wants is to celebrate another birthday. So when she finds herself confronted with a cake full of candles, Ellie wishes more than anything that she could be twenty-nine again, just for one day. But who expects a wish like that to come true?
 

29 is the story of three generations of women and how one magical day shakes up everything they know about each other. While Ellie finds that the life of a twenty-something is not as carefree as she expected, the sheer joy of being young again prompts her to consider living her life all over. Does she dare stay young for more than this day, even if it means leaving everyone she loves behind?  Fresh, funny, and delightful, 29 is an enchanting adventure about families, love, and the real lessons of youth.

Happy Reading! :c)
