4th Update

WHOA! Haven't updated since I got done with Final Exams and It's February now, sorry I didn't update last week I got caught up in the real world, and if you would've told me to write this either sunday morning or saturday night then i probably would've went off on you because well, I'm single now, I haven't been as depressed as I thought I was going to be but oh well. Life goes on, right? ANYWAY, enough of my life, let's talk about books, I finished City of Ashes as well. That book was equally good if not better than City of Bones, I REALLY want to read City of Glass but no, mom is making me read "The Umbrella man" Oh please, that book is BORING, i'm reading it to finish it, I'm going insane because I can't read it (that among other reasons)
Okay, now, on to questions about Ashes, how is it that Simon, who is a vampire, can stand out in the sun without A: Burning up, or B: Sparkling like an idiot? Is it because Jace gave him his blood to keep him alive? I'm guessing that's it but I'm not entirely sure, and I would like to know more about Maia, all I know is that she's a werewolf that probably has a crush on Simon. Simon is still my favorite character and the sexual tension between  Jace and Clary still makes me throw up in my mouth.
