TVD - books. LOL

[pinkhairyfairy]

I feel like my TVD-obsession is reaching new levels, I dlded the audiobook to my iPhone. Started listening to it today when I was at the gym sweating like a pig on the damn crosstrainer

LOL it's nothing like the series. I can see the creators got some inspiration from the series but that's pretty much all. They probably didn't even bother to read

lol omg the books are some of the most hysterical things ever and by "hysterical" I actually mean OH THE HORRORS I'VE SUFFERED. I'm actually amazed that Julie and Kevin managed to make something so great out of them.

HAHAHAHAHA YES they had to make a lot of changes to make it work, but they did it.

I haven't read the books. In fact, I'm a high school teacher, and I went to the school library and told my librarian friend that I fell in love with the show over winter break and she said, "Don't read the books, I hear they suck." I believe her over anyone because she's chosen really good books for me. She told me that if I didn't want something like Twilight, but I wanted something better written than The Vampire Diaries books, I should read Vampire Academy.

Trust me, you're not missing out on anything. Unless you're really into stereotypes and bad writing.

but it's awesome that you're a high school teatcher! Do you talk about the series/other fandoms with your students??

I've brought it up with a couple students. I started reading Vampire Academy and they said that was a good series.
