I'M ACTUALLY SO TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THE TWILIGHT SERIES AND FINDING OUT ON A DAILY THAT THERE ARE OTHER VAMPIRE SERIES OUT THERE THAT ARE ALSO GOOD BOOKS TO READ. AFTER EVERY BOOK I WISH THERE WAS A TELEVISION SHOW TO GO WITH IT.
I'm reading the Vampire Diaries now, and so far they seem good. These books were made in the 90's, people. They came before True Blood and Twilight, so they're the originals. And besides, the CW is geniuses at TV special effects (i should know, since i'm addicted to Reaper and Supernatural). Shouldn't be corny at all.
