Re: The Vampire Diaries
Aww, I really liked these books and am worried about trying the series. I really wish they did something with this author's Night World series... that was pretty interesting.

Re: The Vampire Diaries
I kinda liked the show, but I like Twilight also. Downloaded the books too.

They are selling for $11.00 each or so in Canada, (so it should be less in the US).. If you were interested in buying them, this would be cheaper than buying all 6 seperately (unless of course you were going to get them from a used bookstore or something)... Thirst 1 has been realeased and Thrist 2 will be out this January...
I think i'm going to swing by Chapters today and pick up Thirst 1 and maybe one or two of the vampire diaries books..
I downloaded his books too.
I love vampire books.

Re: The Vampire Diaries
It's like The OC or Gossip Girl meets Twilight. Super cheesy, lame storyline, totally predictable, annoying omnipresent background pop music, and the main character vamp isn't even hot.
I'll prob still watch it out of sheer desperation now that True Blood is on break! hahahaha
BTW I really wish these vampire stories would somehow be a little bit unique! It's always the same story. Hot male vampire falls in love with cute human girl - problems ensue as their worlds collide. I mean seriously, can we get a bit more imaginative for the genre? I'd like to see a hot female vamp once fall in love with a human male - but that would never be done because women must be weak and submissive and males have to be strong and aggressive. Gah! Vampire Diaries is like the same regurgitated plot, just set in high school. At least True Blood has other elements to it that make it a lot more interesting, like the other characters and sub plots, really cool music, dark humor, and for once it's not a show full of twenty somethings or teens.
Weren't all those shows created by the same guy (The OC, Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries.) I think so. When you think about, all those shows are exactly the same!

Re: The Vampire Diaries
I am not sure what inspired this series but I just LOVED L.J. Smith's Nightworld series, in fact, all her books. Not just about vampires, but everything!!! I have good memories. My favorite characters must have been Ash from the Nightworld Series and I loved Soulmate and I loved Julian from her Forbidden Game Series of books. Goodness, if I could re-read them and get my hands on them I would!!!!!!!!

i don't know why girls think robert pattinson is hot. the main vampire character from The Vampire Diaries is way more hotter than Rob.

For a more unique vampire movie, watch "Let the Right One in". It's in Swedish but I watched it with subtitle (if you watch it in English it kinda kills it if you know what I mean). Very unique and possibly the best vampire movie I've ever seen.

Well, they arent movies or tv shows, but that is exactly what the Last Vampire/Thirst by Christopher Pike books are about.. The main character is a female vampire.. Although, I wouldnt call them a love story. They are more of a vampire story.

Good point, I'll rephrase it.

Re: The Vampire Diaries
I love this show, and that's weird for me since I don't really love vampire type things, especially not Twilight. I DO love Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz, but I adore Vampire Diaries. Probably because it reminds me a lot of Blue Bloods when it comes to the vampires' history and whatnot.

She's only been in last night's episode so I don't why you said "kill her off". If it was the other characters that has been on the show since the beginning, then I think it is appropriate to say why did they kill them off.

I don't understand why the phrasing matters, i'm sure you still understood her question. She was on the show last night, then she was "killed off" of the show.. makes sense to me.
