Who likes the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire books by Charlaine Harris or the tv show True Blood? I'm still reading the books and I just got the DVD for the first season. The second season starts next month.
Another great series with vampires is The Circle Trilogy by Nora Roberts. Awesome books!
I am actually reading the circle trilagy right now and I must admit it is quite good. smiles I have read the other ones you mentioned yet though. I have heard they are good and am going to get a hold of them one of these days. smile
I read either the first 5 or 6 of the Sookie Stackhouse books. Did you notice that the first season of the show was about where the first book ended?
I liked the books better than the show. There a few changes, such as with Tara.
Pebbles, I have them as txt files if you're interested. I don't have broadband to get the audio version. How did you read them Bella?
Thom
I got the books from someone in audio.
Yeh, I really like the twilight series. I think my favorite person in the is probably edward.
What titles are included in the Circle trilogy by Nora Roberts? I've read some of her other books, and like them. Would these happen to be on Web Braille or Book Share?
The Circle Trilogy
by Nora Roberts
Book 1 - Morrigan's Cross
Book 2 - Dance Of The Gods
Book 3 - Valley Of Silence
Thanks, Bella.
I've read the twilight series, the vampire chronicles, saw all three blade and underworld movies, Interview with the vampire and queen of the damned.
Vampires are awesome!
If I could be with one of the Cullens, I'd wana be with Rosalie Reneseme or Alice!
Oh, and I've seen all the episodes of Angel and Buffy! Love Vampires and werewolves!
Almost forgot gingersnaps 1 and 2 were great!
yeah i warship vampires. they are the perfect personage you need for books. i am writing book in which they influence majorly in them. anyways oh and of course most of my friends nickname vampire. so all the compliments are welcome. hahahah bye guys!
Does anyone like Vampire Kisses? I think they are better or at least just as good as Twilight. I've read the first five books and am trying to find the sixth one. What about Vampire Academy? I haven't read those yet, but they sound good.
Haven't read ether of them but am about to. If you haven't already, read the vampire chronicles by anne Rice.
I've read those two series now and they were awesome. I am now going to read Vampire Diaries.
I have heard there is some lesbian content in the True Blood series. Yes, no, maybe?
No?
I wonder when the second season will be on DVD?
ok so i had to look it up on afterellen.com it looks like season 2 is supposed to have some. here's a link to the story entitled, ""True Blood" Promises a Lesbian Character — For Real This Time" the character name is Sophie-Ann and she's played by Evan Rachel Wood - th lesbian teen from Onc and Again.

I like the books better. Pam is bi so yeah. I love her. LOL
I need to watch the second season eps.
Oh, ok, Sophie-Anne.
True Blood is such a great series. I'm real behind on season 2 thought. Have to catch up. I just wish we'd see more Eric in the tv show he's much cooler than Bill in my oppinion.
Yeah Bill is ok, but love Eric.
I can't find any info yet on when season 2 will be available on dvd *sigh*
The House Of Night is my favorite vampire series so far! Besides vamps being totally awesome, I love it b/c they have a goddess, have rituals, cast circles, work with the elements to help them... Also deals with family issues: Christians not accepting her Pagan religion, friendships secrets and learning how to trust and be there for one another, and love including gay relationships and the struggle of being attracted to more than one person at the same time.
I def recommend these books!
wouldn't it be nice to have a sweet protective romantic vampire like edward in your life? lol jk i liked twilight series. thought the moovie was ok, but lacked a lot. we'll see about new moon.
i also love the vampire kisses series
Ooowh thanks for the tip on the House of Night books. Bookshare has them. :)
The previous comment about having an Edward got me thinking. If you could be any vampire from any series who would it be? For me it would be Eric. The man fits the definition of manly man. Not to say I'm not manly but... He's just so cool. Lol.
I would be Pam or Zoey.
To IQ and anyone else interested, season 2 of True Blood will be on DVD May 25.

Season 3 of True Blood will be on DVD on May 31.
Thanks for the tip about the Nora Roberts trilogy! I'll definitely have to give that one a look.
No offense to Eric lovers, but I honestly don't think Eric's all that cool. I dunno...he seems like kind of an asshole. And yeah I know, vampyre, but still...at least Bill really seems to care for Sookie. Eric just annoys me. Though, as I said, I've only read like the first book through, so perhaps I'll get to like him a little better.
I have read the Vampire books by Anne Rice and enjoyed them. I have also read the first 2 books in the Strain Trilogy written by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan
Book #1 The Strain
Book #2 The Fall
book #3 Eternal Night
And I have read The Passage written by Justin Cronin
which is also a trilogy but the Passage is the only book out.

Empty night, when will it end! Okay, I really mean no offense to any of you. I don't. But I'm seeing very little actual vampire literature references and characters here. To start with,vampires are not fodder for romance novels. Well, I take that back. They have recently become that way, but they shouldn't be. Thus, disliking Eric for being a manly man and liking Bill for caring for Sookie, (who by the way is a roaring bitch, no mortal man could put up with her, so a vampire shouldn't have to either), is misguided. The Sookie Stackhouse series is basically a bunch of murder mysteries with romance thrown in for flavoring. The fact that the men involved are supernatural doesn't change that, especially considering the fact that these supernaturals don't act like supernaturals. They act like two-dimentional characters in books. Good guy, bad guy, black, white.
I would say the same for the House of Night series. A vampire is a predator, forced to exist in the shadows until he is steaked, burned, or until God comes and the world ends. The last thing on their minds is how unaccepting a Christian family is of Paegan beliefs, or romantic issues, whether they be gay, straight or bestial
The modern vampire is painted like a loving, caring pixie. And well, that's a pixie, not a vampire.
Twilight, I can't even begin to cover all the things wrong with that travesty, that mockery of literature and the undeads true fans of vampires have come to know and love. It's a one-hundred year old seventeen year old who still acts like a seventeen year old. He sparkles in the sunlight and doesn't eat people. Staking him won't kill him. He's not a vampire, he is a shiny teen dream. Its ridiculous.
Talking about all this, to be honest, has put a bad taste in my mouth. Take a look at this instead. It should put things into perspective.

thanks Undead Libertine
that was wonderful, I couldn't agree more about the twilight stuff, just not for me.
It wouldn't be so offensive if Twilight was just a series of romance novels. It would still be two dimentional and silly, because honestly, the writer can't write, but if she left vampires out of it, it would have been completely unremarkable to the public of today. Vampire and werewolf might as well be Asian family versus black family, for all the actual similarities they show to vampires and werewolves. That's really all it is, a romance novel concerning two different races.
The vampire Chronicles by Ann rice, in my opinion, is also a bit overly romantic, but to her credit, those are vampires. They have varying personalities and beliefs in regards to spending eternity, death, murder, politics, philosophy, religion. It's not all teen anxt and lamenting about just how tragicly deep they are and how nobody understands them. Heh
I guess sleeping in coffins and wearing capes suddenly isn't cool.
I'm reading the vampire chronicles right now... I'm currently reading the third book, The queen of the dammed. I really like this series so far.
Book 8 cryptic cravings from the vampire kisses series is out today.
I personally love the morganville series by Rachel Cain. Its a terrific mix of modern day society with vampiric mysticism and old fashion way of life. I like how there is some sort of a cast system with in Morganville and its interesting how such a town can exist in the middle of Texas even though its not real.
I also really into the chicago land vampire series by Chloe Neill. Its more of a modern day lifestyle with the main character learning to live, adjust to her life as a vampire and conforming to laws of vampirism.
I like any kinds of vamp books.
Two more vampire series I'm reading are Evernight and Dead Is.
Also True Blood season 4 will be on DVD at the end of May.
Book 9 and the last from the Vampire Kisses series Immortal Hearts is out today.
