LJ Smith Goes Hollywood

By -
I stumbled across an online article today with the news that author L.J. Smith is getting the small screen treatment. Her series The Vampire Diaries is being turned into a television series for The CW. Of course the only reason it’s happening is because of the fan base spawned by Twilight. It will be awhile before another movies comes out, so we have to get those fans something else! Quick! Like a bunny!

Honestly it’s kind of irritating to me. The article mentioned how the books were about a girl caught between two brothers who were both vampires, but I remember it being a lot more intense and deeper than that. Smith managed to finish off The Vampire Diaries in three books (though she did write a later fourth book, which is super hard to find apparently). How the heck are they going to stretch that into an entire season worth of television episodes.

Oh yeah and Kevin Williamson was hired as the writer. Great, Mr. Dawson’s Creek himself is going to turn the books into a TV show. I can’t wait to see how that works out, note my sarcasm here. I’m a little disappointed because I loved the L.J. Smith books so much, but maybe they’ll somehow turn out good…

    Sadly from what I watched the TV series is totally different to the books.

      I actually really enjoyed the series though! I watched the first season when it originally aired and wasn't too fond of it, but I wound up watching the whole series on Netflix. My boyfriend even watched some of it and got teary at the finale :)

The Immortal (Christopher Pike)

This was one of my favorite Christopher Pike books when I was younger. The whole ground glass in the hamburger thing really freaked me out and I was always eyeing the person who made my hamburgers suspiciously. Then I read some article in college about how ground glass actually can’t kill you because your body just digests it and pushes it out. It kind of made me a little pissed off at Pike… Josie and Helen are best friends, but in that high school way, where they actually don’t really like each other. Helen’s family is kind of poor, but that didn’t stop them from sending her to Greece the summer before. Now they’re going back, thanks to Josie’s dad. He’s a screenwriter and traveling with his stuckup, prissy girlfriend Silk. The book flashes back to two women and I bet you know where this is going. Sryope and Phthia were two women living during ancient times. Phthia was obsessed with a guy who Sryope secretly loved. She made him indebted to her and then got bored and ran off with other

Monster (Christopher Pike)

I’ve read this book a few times lately and every time, go into it thinking that I don’t really like it, but then I remember that I do. Maybe because there aren’t any sci-fi elements or aliens in it! Well there are alien like things, but not like in his later books. Angela is a fairly new kid at school, who somehow gets invited to a party with all the popular kids. Her best friend Mary walks into the party, brandishing a shotgun. Without saying a word, she blows away football player Todd and cheerleader Kathy. Five seconds later, she points the gun at her own boyfriend Jim. Angela stops her by screaming and Mary retaliates by kicking her in the face. Jim, who’s basically a big pussy, runs off into the woods, with Mary hot on his tale. Angela follows and runs into Lieutenant Nguyen, who listens to what she says and then goes after Mary. Angela wanders into the woods and runs into Jim. Mary pops up and tells them that Jim “isn’t human” and nearly kills him, before Nguyen stops her. Nguyen

  Well, I didn't realize so much time passed between my last post and today. Things were pretty bad there for a while. I got through COVID and then my world just fell apart. I'm hoping I can start posting again at least semi-regularly. If anyone is still out there, expect to see a new post a month.
