The CW Casts Vampire Diaries

From Dracula to the current obsession with the Twilight series of books and movies, once thing is for sure -- everybody just can't get enough of those sexy vampires! The newest fixation is coming to the CW (possibly this fall) with Vampire Diaries and the major roles have finally been cast.... 

The show is based on a series of books written by L.J. Smith, and tells the story of a high school girl named Elena who falls in love with the very mysterious Stefan, who happens to be a centuries-old vampire. Stefan and his brother Damon have a tumultuous relationship thanks to another woman who came between them many years ago. Their relationship goes from bad to worse when Elena captures the attention of both men and an epic battle for her heart ensues. 

Variety reports that former lost star Ian Somerhalder has snagged the role of Damon. Nina Dobrev (Degrassi: The Next Generation) has been cast to play Elena and Paul Wesley (Everwood) joins the cast as the 200-year-old Stefan. Dawson's Creek mastermind Kevin Williamson will be the executive producer for the series. 

Will Vampire Diaries become the next big show on the CW? Will our fascination with vampires allow us to make room for yet one more primetime series? Tell us what you think.... 

One thing that has me puzzled is that Elena is supposed to be blond... Will they dye her hair or something? Cause I cannot imagine her any other way, not really.

Wishing On Wednesday

Blood Promise a Vampire Academy Novel

by Richelle Mead 

Book Description:

How far will Rose go to keep her promise?

The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir’s Academy was the deadliest ever in the school’s history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them. . . including Dimitri.

He’d rather die than be one of them, and now Rose must abandon her best friend, Lissa—the one she has sworn to protect no matter what—and keep the promise Dimitri begged her to make long ago. But with everything at stake, how can she possibly destroy the person she loves most?

About the Author:

Richelle Mead lives in Seattle and is the author of the VAMPIRE ACADEMY series. When not writing, she can be found watching bad movies, inventing recipes, and buying far too many dresses.

Ok, so im guilty, this is totally like Waiting on Wednesday, but since everybody calls it that I'll call mine Wishing on Wednesday ^^. Now Blood Promise is like on top of my "I Wish List". The last one was a total cliff hanger, and I just cannot wait to see what happend to Dimitri, and what Rose is going to do, or even Lissa for that matter. Some things I want from this book is:

- Dimitri not to be a Strogoi, and if he is, I want things to work out!

- For the Moroi to get up from their arses and start defending themselves, I mean they have magic and they don't even use it! 

- Third but not last, I want another kick ass battle, my favorite battle has been the one in Frost Bite, and since I don't want to give spoilers away lets just say it was a fight to remember.

Teaser Tuesday

I have read this feature in a lot of blogs, and decided to start doing it here because its kinda fun!! Ok, im reading Fade this week so Ill give you guys a two for one, first a teaser from Wake and then one from Fade ^^.

" The man flicks his cigarette at Cabel.

   Cabel ignites.

  Flops around on the ground in flames.

  Screaming, like a poor, tortured baby bunny.

  And then Cabel transforms. He becomes a monster, and the fire is gone, His fingers grow knives. His body gros like the Hulk. 

Janie watches all this from around the corner of the shed. She doesn't want to see it. No more of it. Feeling so sick, so horrible for witnessing it. She turns around abruptly.

Standing behind her, watching her in horror, is Cabel.

The second."

- Wake, pg 79.

And now Fade...

   

2:17 p.m.

" Janie feels it coming. She sets her book down and glances at Cabel.  It's not him. He gives her a pitying halfsmile when he sees the look on her face, and she tries to smile back. But it's too late.

It hits her, like a bag of rocks to the gut, and she doubles over in her chair, blinded, her mind whirling into Stancey O'Grady's dream. Janie recognizes it- Stacey was in Janie's study hall last semester too, and had this same nightmare a few months ago."

- Fade, pg 43.

I hope you all liked this piece of the story, and I hope your interested enough and give it a try, trust me, its worth it.
