Despertar = The Awakening | 
so-soIt took me a lot to get into this one. But I did actually complete it. I know a lot of people love this series but for the first half of the book I have to say Elena really grated on me with her entitled attitude. But I think I will read the second. Hopefully it will be better than the first.
Todays waiting place is the library near my sons TAFE. The early mornings are killing me but he is enjoying it. And this is the most reading I have got done in a while.
My son is trailing TAFE today so I‘m staying in the area. Having coffee at Primrose Lane at Christie‘s beach.
Last night, I watched 4 episodes of season 3 of The Vampire Diaries. Love that show so much! #TeamDamon

pickI‘ve been listening to the vampire diaries series on audio for the first time. I‘ve read these books so many times I‘ve lost count! This is one of the series where it‘s so different than the tv show that I can enjoy both separately.
The narrator does a pretty good job and I‘m thoroughly enjoying them! Such comfort reads!

1. Alana, Stephan, and Damian from The Vampire Diaries.
2. Casting them in the movie Gone with the Wind, so dramatic!
"The fullness in her throat was back, but still no tears would come. Everything inside her was contradictory. She didn't want company, and yet she was achingly lonely. She did want to think, but now that she was trying to, her thoughts eluded her like mice running from a white owl."

This was an okay book. I felt it could be more fleshed out and I didn't care much for the voice actor. I feel this is one case where the TV show is much better than the book.
so-soI have seen so many people talk about this book, but I was not a fan. Underdeveloped plot and a very quick storyline. It is not terrible, but I feel eh about it.
Until very recently, I was a total Vampire Diaries virgin. I didn‘t even know there was a book series that inspired the show on The CW — let alone that the first title was published all the way back in 1991. It was such a treat to have bestselling writing duo Christina Lauren on my podcast this week to talk about that first book! 🖤 Link to listen in my bio.
About to start listening to this tonight. It will be the first book I have bothered to pick up in many weeks (listening counts right). From the virus we had that wiped me out then issues with workers and finding new ones the last thing I have felt like is reading. Today I have the urge. Everyone cross their fingers.
panOk i just remembered this was the first English book i ever read. Good times, good times.

I can‘t recall if in book one Elena‘s doppelgänger appears, but in this series (yes, the TV show is based off these books) at some point her doppelgänger plays a role in the story.
I can still remember the autumn I read this book outside with crows cawing; it added to the atmosphere of the novel!

I decided to reread this series and unfortunately I‘m not the biggest fan. Normally I don‘t say this and this is probably the only time you‘ll hear me but the series is waaaay better than the books. There‘s something about the writing that just isn‘t that appealing.
Would I continue reading the series? Yes but only because I want to get ahead in the next few books.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Stefan and Damon are vampire brothers, who love human Elena!
I was a fan of the Vampire Diaries show for the first couple seasons especially. There were parts I hated in the show but it seemed like a easy light read so I picked up the first book.
I‘m honestly shook with how conceited, self-centered, and manipulative Elena is in the books, far more than in the show. I‘m not disliking the experience of reading the book but damn. If we‘re supposed to relate to Elena in anyway it‘s a miss.
1. The Vampire Diaries, its so bad its good! Defiantly hooked on the books and tv show
2. Deadpool or White Chicks!
3. Right now its peanut butter on toast!!

1. 🧛♀️ Really looking forward to starting the Vampire Diaries series!

Although I like most flowers 4. 🍫 chocolate eggs all the way! I wish you could get them all year! @JoScho #manicmonday
My All-Time Favorite #ShipIt relationship is Damon & Elena! From the beginning of the series, I always wanted them to get together (both Book and show).
A couple of others are Eric and Sookie & Veronica and Logan. They all end up getting together eventually! 💕

This has got to be my favorite candle I have ever gotten in a book box (so far). Not only do I own most of the books it is inspired by but it also smells amazing.
I've got my protection against vamps....do You?

The first book in the Vampire Diaries series was published the year I was born (1991). It's crazy to see how much covers evolve over a 25 year period. It's also crazy that after twenty years on the market, that's when it was picked up for a show.

I have 2 stacks of books for this prompt today. Books set in my favorite city, London (even though I've never been there, I imagine it to be the best). Also, books set in my favorite mythical city, Mystic Falls via the TV show, but Fells Church in the books! #AugustLibrary17
Don't all YA vampire novels start with the appearance of a #BeautifulStranger? #90sInJuly
Diese Bücher habe ich heute geschenkt bekommen! 🎁

pickThe Vampire Diaries, first four original stories, are super engrossing, and so are the continuation series, and TV companion books! LJ Smith is a great suspense writer. To me Elena is a #kickassheroine, she does have to contend with two vampire brothers lol. #seasonsreadings2016
I want him to love me as much as I love him.
