Between The Pages

So as I was browsing the Internet tonight on books, I came across something that said they are making The Selection by Kiera Cass into a TV show on the CW. The book came out this year and it is just sitting in my e-reader waiting for me to read it... I am a CW watcher and have been for years now (90210, Supernatural) and now they are making these books into TV shows && I love it!! I read the Vampire Diaries before I knew anything about them turning it into a show. A lot of readers got upset about many things they changed compared to the books, but in a way the TV show is of its own standards, its like reading the novels and seeing the fanfiction on TV. I also started watching the Secret Circle, though I have not read that series.  Anyways The Selection is about thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime they get the opportunity to escape their life & to be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace an...

 Vampire Kisses (Vampire Kisses #1) Authors: Ellen Schreiber Reviewed By: Courtney Published By: HarperTeen Release Date: August 5th 2005 Genre: YA/Paranormal Pages: 208 pages The mansion on top of Benson Hill has been empty and boarded up for years. But a new family has moved in. A family that never ventures out during the day. Who are these creepy people -- especially the handsome, dark, and elusive Alexander Sterling? Or rather, what are they? Could the town gossip actually be true? Are they vampires? Raven, who secretly covets a vampire kiss, both at the risk of her own mortality and Alexander's loving trust, is dying to uncover the truth. I found this book while surfing the Internet for other great YA books. What drew me in was the fact it was another vampire book. Now I love me some vampire stories, but I don't like the Twilight series so much...to me it's to far fetched (I still read them and I've seen the movies). This series is al...
