Sucked in

So anyone who’s been reading my blog for a while knows I have a penchant for vampire books. Who doesn’t these days? I’m hooked on The Vampire Diaries show, and as the weeks are progressing I’m beginning to get really curious about the storyline and what actually happens. So I have to get the books and I do. Well, let’s just say they did not age well. Lots of telling versus showing, characters aren’t well developed (or likeable), lots of plausibility issues (one of my big annoyances is a new teacher inviting the students to his house for a get to know you party-yeah that’s going to fly, and Stefan the main character lives in a boarding house).
On top of all this the show has basically taken the bare bones of the book story structure and completely re-worked it. In the books Stefan and Damon are from Italian Renaissance whereas the show they’re from the Civil War. So if you’re thinking of reading the books to get an idea of where the show is going-don’t. Just enjoy the show and get in lots of perving on eye candy. Is it bad that I’m barracking for Damon? So this is why I love Monday nights. Another show I’m in luuurve with is Glee. So entertaining and the songs are gorgeous and addictive. I’m still chuckling every time I remember the episode a few weeks back where Beyonce’s Single Ladies was used as a motivational tool by the football team. Hysterical.
