I shall definitely try to see the Vampire Diaries. I just had a word with my son, (he works in Blockbusters, and can get free rental on things. (Blockbusters completely stopped renting out boxed sets of series, but they've recently started it up again.)
I asked him if they've got Vampire Diaries, and he's pretty sure they have, so I've asked him to borrow the first series for me.
I read all the Twilight books. I know they get a lot of stick, and they ARE bad. But....I've got to say I thoroughly enjoyed them, I couldn't put them down and tended to read each one more or less in one sitting. They were just such good FUN.
I didn't like the movies much though. I've seen the first movie and was bored to tears...I think a lot of it is because I just don't "get" Patterson's appeal *LOL* If it was someone nicer...Colin Morgan perhaps? *LOL* I might have loved it.
I can see why you like the Sookie books, it sounds as though the world she created is very involving.
Yeah, I read all sort of books too, pulp fun stuff and quite "good" stuff. I've never really been into Dickens though...I've read about six of his books I think, and I did enjoy A Tale of Two Cities, but I don't really like the way he writes.
At the moment I'm reading a Bill Bryson book about changes in the way we've lived over history. When I finish that I'm onto a book called "Dissolution" which has had very good reviews. Apparnetly it's a novel about a hunchback lawyer in Henry VIII's time who ends up solving crimes...it looks like it wil be good.
And sorry, this was a horrendously long ramble!!!!!
