Happy Mundane Monday! Last week fans were treated to some exciting casting news. We got our Simon & Izzy! As many of you know, the response to this casting news was been so supportive. I've included various tweets here from the cast, those who are affiliated with the series, other authors, and Cassie about the news.
I love this picture, which McG Tweeted
here, featuring our cast so far. McG also teased fans with more pictures of Simon,

Here's a special video from ! She's excited to play Isabelle on ! (check out the video

Then there's been a few who were less than stellar in their comments about the diverse cast. Which personally, if you're against a diverse cast, then you read the wrong book series, because The Mortal Instruments book series is made of up diverse characters. Cassandra Clare has the perfect response to some of the shameful tweets about the cast.
Cassandra Clare answers more racist tweets, and deals with hate she's been getting, better than most people would. Here is her most recent response to those tweets, which she tweeted last night.
Just a reminder to fans, if you have an issue with the cast, TAKE IT UP WITH THOSE INVOLVED WITH THE SERIES. NOT THE AUTHOR! The fact that fans have problems diverse casting for this tv show, is troubling to me. But that's for another post. This cast is going to rock this tv show. The casting is spot on!
