The Liebster Award

Hi everyone!

So today, I'm going to be talking about 'The Liebster Award! I had no idea what this was until like a month ago, but anyways, 'The Liebster Award' is all about getting to know bloggers and their blogs who have less than 200 followers. There's no actual award and it's kind of a Pass it On, kind of thing, but I think it's a great way to get to know new bloggers and their blogs! I was actually nominated for this award twice, one time from Faith from Book Nook 96 and Stephanie from Her Reviews of Books Movies and Everything, so I have no idea who's questions to answer! I guess I'll be answering 5 questions from each blogger then! What are the questions I'm talking about? Well read the rules below!  I'm so excited to be a nominee and participate in this fangirl-tastic award! *squeal*

Tessa Gray should be happy -- aren't all brides happy? Yet as she prepares for her wedding, a net of shadows begin to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. A new demon appears, one linked by blood and secrecy to Mortmain, the man who plans to use his army of pitiless automatons, the Infernal Devices, to destroy the Shadowhunters. Mortmain needs only one last item to complete his plan.
He needs Tessa.
Charlotte Branwell, head of the Institute, is desperate to find Mortmain before he strikes. And Jem and Will, the boys who lay equal claim to Tessa's heart, will do anything to save her. For though Tessa and Jem are engaged, Will is still in love with her.
The last words of a dying Shadowhunter provide the clue that might lead Tessa and her friends to Mortmain. But their small group cannot stand alone, and the powerful Consul doubts that Mortmain is coming. Deserted by allies, the Shadowhunters find themselves trapped when Mortmain seizes the medicine that keeps Jem alive. With his best friend at death's door, Will must risk everything to save the girl they both love.
To buy Will time, the warlock Magnus Bane joins with Henry Branwell to create a device that could help defeat Mortmain. As they all work to save Tessa and the future of the Shadowhunters that resides with her, Tessa realizes that the only person who can save her is herself -- for in the discovery of her own nature, Tessa could become more powerful than she ever dreamed possible. But can a lone girl, even one who can command the power of angels, face down an entire army?
Danger and betrayal, secrets and enchantment, and the tangled thread of love and loss intertwine as the Shadowhunters are pushed to the very brink of destruction in the breathtaking conclusion of The Infernal Devices trilogy.
