3) Pick a quote from his book, long or short, that proves he is the kind of boyfriend you said he is.

4) Make sure the quote, and the explanation DO NOT give away anything from the book (we want all of the twists and plot surprises to remain surprises).

My Book Boyfriend for this week is:

Jace

Before seeing the movie (yeah, I haven't seen it yet because my childminder won't be available for another couple of weeks) I decided to re-read City of Bones and was reminded of how I like Jace's bad-ass attitude and the way he has a soft spot for Clary even though he has a tough time showing it.

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. . . . 

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

Here's one of Clary's thoughts of Jace:

Even in half demon hunter clothes, Clary thought, he (Simon) looked like the kind of boy who'd come over to your house to pick you up for a date and be polite to your parents and nice to your pets.

Jace on the other hand, looked like the kind of boy who come's over to your house and burn's it down just for kicks.

And one of my favorite quotes:

Clary - "Is this the part where you start tearing strips off your shirt to bind my wounds?"

Jace -  "If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked."

Okay!
