The Vampire Diaries (book 1&2) by L.J Smith

I have no excuse. I admit I was intrigued (at first). Giving justification (to myself) that perhaps I need something which require less grey matter cells to digest (but was actually looking for another Twilight saga?) What was I thinking?Alas, it didn't meet up to my expectation.

But I found out ... before I read the sequel (it's 2 books in one) - that there is a TV series based on the book and from my short preview of the series in you tube - my preference goes to the tv series. However the characters potrayed on the screen gave me a better (looking) 'vision' of the faceless characters in the book which turned my reading to somewhat bearable for the second sequel.
The saga continues in book three and four which I don't intend to read (but perhaps I shouldn't speak so soon).
Maybe I should find the video set instead.

I finally got to see Twilight last week for the first time if you can believe that. It wasn't as great as the hype but I enjoyed it. I've yet to see this TV show or read any of the books - I'll have to do something about that some day lol! Thanks for stopping in - you should open a twitter account too and we could follow each other. Have a great one!!

Stick to the movies Kerry. Better or should I say delicious 'vision' lol. I am just too bias for a just opinion. Happy you've enjoyed it too.
