I did enjoy the Twilight series, not going to lie.
But my favorite Vampire novels are the ones from the Anne Rice series. |
Yeah, Anne Rice is really neat. Her presence on her facebook is amazing too. She actually posts ALOT and talks to everyone. I recently won an auction of hers and am now the owner of a few of her scarves. One day, I intend to make them into a sort of patchwork quilt or something. Pie, the books I sent you are really good! I really, really like Kelley Armstrong. She writes about witches, werewolves, necromancers, wizards..all in modern day. It's an awesome series. Yeah, I don't mean at all to bash Twilight, I just didn't care for it. I don't understand people who complain about it tho as if it's some cruel thing the lady did by writing about fictitious creatures the way she wanted it. It's fiction. If she wants them to sparkle then they can. :P ❤ |
I liked Amelia Atwater-Rhodes's Books "Demon in my View" and "In the Forests of the Night"
oh and Derran Shan's Cirque Du Freak.. (was pissed off at the movie D< ) |
I picked up the manga of that at the library. (Cirque Du Freak) I didn't care for it. Was it more then a manga? Like a regular novel? I have a friend who was mad about the movie too, lol. They must have butchered it. Like they did with Queen of the Damned. Man that movie pissed me off. ❤ |
It was first a Novel series xD
a japanese Mangaka loved it so much he made it into a manga.. then the movie came ._. Queen of the damned was slaughtered D< *rages* they did butcher Cirque du Freak ;-; |
The Queen of the Damned movie is what got me to read the books. >.<
I didn't know Cirque Du Freak was a book first. o.o |
I mean really! Why did they have to destroy Akasha like that? Ughhh! The movie wasn't bad, Kira, they just strayed from the story toooo much, imo. Claudia, in Interview with a Vampire tho. Oh man, she was fantastic! ❤ |
Eeehhh...Twilight reminds me more of a piece of fanfiction than true novel writing. Granted, among the better fanfiction, but still of that sort. The fangirls scare me with their avid admiration of it, but hey, I probably scare people my avid admiration of other stuff, so...hard to be completely disdainful of them. XD Definitely wasn't my cup of tea, however. One question, Rousi. Is the series like Laurel K. Hamilton's one series? Anita Blake? Hers was sort of similar, with the whole werewolves and modern day supernatural stuff in modern day, but Hamilton went from awesome story to erotica writer with the plot aforethought, and that just was not cool. I stopped the series after I realized the books didn't get better. D:< PLEASE no erotica. Or at the least, very, very little/limited. Halmiton's books because like, out of a 300 page book, 250 was just sex. |
Interview with a Vampire (the movie) wasn't so bad.. but I was sooo pissed about Armand D< He is suppose to look YOUNG! Late teens early very early 20s..
but they did more then mess with Akasha.. the movie BARELY got into how the queen was turned into a vamp.. what she did to the Twins.. They made it look as if Marius made Lestat when he DID NOT! *rage* you know how many people fight me on this just because of the movie >< *could rant on and on how they butchered that book* |
Haha, DK! *hugs* I just hate that Tomimafuckingpsycho Cruise played Lestat. Pie! Nope, I got one of her books (Hamilton) and didn't like it at all because of the smut level. There is mild lovey dovey stuff in the books but they won't make you cringe. ❤ |
I didn't care for him as lestat.. but at least the movie had his hair color right ><
|
Yay! I don't mind mild lovey-dovey. Explicit detail every other page for the entire book is too much. X__X her first like, 8 were really good. No sex until the 6th book, and until the 9th book, there was very little of it past that one. it was about the crime and being a zombie-raiser. Annnnddd then...yeah. =\ Okay guys, I'll see you in the morning. I'm getting tired here. Long day, ahaha. Sleep well! |
After Indiana Jones goes off I'm off to bed as well
Night Pi :3 |
I think i'm going to go lay down and do some reading myself! Thanks for coming to the thread guys! Sleep well :) ❤ |
If anyone wants the ebook like files (not pdf) of the cat who series i have them somewhere on my main PC :3
|
Oooh... yay for a readers hangout. <3
My favorite genres are Fantasy and Horror. Some favorite authors/series are Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, Jaqueline Carey's Kushiel series, Stepehen King and Clive Barker. I really liked Anne Rice's vampire books up until Memnoch the Devil. I just felt Lestat was acting sooo out of character in it. I also liked her Mayfair Witches series. Hehe, I like Laurel K. Hamilton, although I've read more of her Merry Gentry series than the Anita Blake series. She does tend to start off a little racy and then go full on smut, but I don't mind. She's definitely light, fluffy reading though. As for Twilight, I've read the entire series and liked it well enough. It's not "OMG best thing EVAR." but it was fun and it was a great distraction for me during a rough time I was going through, so I was probably more forgiving than I'd usually be, lol. I can see the things that people who hate complain about though, and even though I liked the series overall, I also like the mocking of it, cause they're usually right. I find both extremes of love and hate for it silly. It was a nice, entertaining series with admittedly its share of flaws. It is neither the most amazing vampire series ever written nor the most horrendous worthy to be burnt series ever written. I honestly think most of the more rabid hate for the series is misplaced annoyance at the more rabid fans and not really about the book itself. Especially considering that a lot of the people who say they hate it, have somehow come to that conclusion without ever having even read it. And... that's my wall o' text for the evening ^.^;; |
Good morning everyone.
I agree with you, Ana, about the misplaced hate for the series. ^^ |
=w= I am part of the half that hated how everyone was all like "OMG orgasmic book ever! read it now or your not my friend!" -.- yea.. that there tells me.. don't read it.. that and all the commercials that are like "team edward or jake choose now" lame..
|
(*Cough* team Jacob *cough*) xDD
But that's understandable if that's not your taste. ^^ |
xD pretty much. I don't like being told to read something or I'll lose a friend.. I'll end up reading it when the.. buzz dies down.. in like 10 years xD
I did the same thing with harry potter.. (the books put me to sleep so I only watch the movies for now.. thou.. reading the last book is tempting ._. I wanna know how it all ends) |
❧ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❃ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❧ This looks like a nice place for me to be. The end of the Harry Potter series is kinda obvious and is nice. She ends it with everything being in the future. Like I think it was about 10 years after the final battle. ❧ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❃ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❧ |
I had to read the Harry Potter book for a book club I was in, very glad I read it, but the movies suck compared to the books, though it was a long read.
Hi there Saiyouri! |
The books always tend to put me to sleep D:
but the books are always better then the movies. the movies tend to be butchered in one way or another >< |
❧ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❃ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❧ Hi there Kira. I read up to the 3rd book if I'm right. I refused to read or watch the movies after that book. I still hate the damn series. That bitch shouldn't of offed my favorite character. The movies are ok to me. But my husband would agree with you Demon about the books and movies. He was pissed with the last one they released. They cut out so much good stuff from the book and I guess the storyline was worse than the one before the Deathly Hollows movie. ❧ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❃ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❧ |
Who was your favorite character Saiyouri?? o;
|
Too many good characters die in that series ><
|
❧ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❃ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❧ Sirius Black. Lol I know Demon. It's like you turn the page and theres another dead. ❧ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❃ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❧ |
Oh yeah. >.<
Though when Dobby died I was really sad. |
;-; I didn't like it when dumbledor died ;-;
|
Dumbledore's death made me cry when I read the book. I honestly did not think that he was going to be killed. D;
|
❧ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❃ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❧ I think J.K. Rowling liked to surprise her readers in not good ways. ❧ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❃ ❖ ✬ ❖ ❤ ✸ ❤ ❧ |
