I'm All Booked Up YA

In this post we feature books we love that were unfortunately turned into crappy movies. The writers and producers of these movies fell short in understanding these amazing stories!

1. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Amazon.com: City of Bones (Mortal Instruments) (9781416914280): Clare, Cassandra: Books

We’ve read every Cassandra Clare book, so to say we were disappointed when we saw this movie is an understatement. The casting was not on point (though, we did enjoy a few choices, like Simon and Izzy).

I'm All Booked Up YA

We love all the Shadowhunter books! In fact, Cassandra Clare is one of our favorite authors. We decided to share which Myers-Briggs matches the character from The Infernal Devices, The Mortal Instruments and The Dark Artifices. Tell us your Myers-Briggs in the comments and if you relate to the character who matches you! We’re an ENTJ and an INFJ.

ENFJ: The Protagonist

Will Herondale fits the ENFJ personality description. ENFJs are known for being strong leaders, charismatic, passionate and intense. They also take their relationships very seriously and want long-term commitment. Just like Will with Tessa!

INFJ: The Advocate

Jem Carstairs embodies the characteristics of the INFJ. INFJs are sensitive, compassionate and always want to do what’s right. They’re also known for their creativity, just like Jem and his love of music.
