VAMPIRE DIARIES!!!

Vampire Diaries is by far my favorite TV show! Every Thursday my friends and I cozy up on the couch together and have a blast! We get so into the show that we yell at the screen, laugh, clap, cry, and once I even did a jump heel clap!

Vampire Diaries was originally a book series written by L.J. Smith. She currently has eight books in the series and still has more to come.  The books were adapted into a TV show and they are currently half way through season 3. If you are going to check this series out I highly suggest you read the books first. The books and TV show are completely different, only the main characters names are the same and some general information. However, the book and show are amazing, different, but equally good. By clicking the link below you can get excess to the first six books in the series!

                                                             

The basic idea of the series is that a human girl, Elena Gilbert, is the most popular girl in school before her parents died in a car accident. After the death of her parents, her Aunt Judith (or Jenna) becomes her guardian. On the first day back to school she is still upset about her parent’s death and worried about how everyone will treat her. While at school she meets a gorgeous new guy, Stefan, who she is instantly attracted too.  However, ever since Stefan’s arrival horrible things have begun to happen, deaths and people getting attacked by “animals”.  As the story progresses, Elena and her friends come face to face with death many times, and to the readers’ dismay, many will meet it!
