Day 28 – First book obsession
What counts as an “obsession” really? The first book that lead me to buy everything else the author ever wrote? Wow. If you look at it that way (and I hadn’t until I wrote that just now) then my first book obsession was:
I bought this book when it was first published way back in 1992. It was one of the few books I was allowed to buy (we weren’t poor, but weren’t rich and I tore through books like a hurricane), and every time I was allowed another I chose one from this author. This may actually be the very first series I had where the books were new and not hand-me-down or borrowed from the library.
I read the entire Secret Circle series, followed by The Vampire Diaries (you children didn’t really think the whole TV series was a new thing, did you?), then The Forbidden Game and The Darkest Powers. And I tried to love the Night World series just as much, but it is (as far as I am aware) still unfinished.

Kiara possesses a dry wit, a sharp sarcasm, and a towering intellect. Her secret alter ego has a boring™ day job, but at night she writes and reviews speculative fiction. She carries the keys to dozens of hearts in her pockets and jumps puddles in a single bound. Her superhero power is losing her socks before they've even made it into the dryer. She also likes to tell stories, so parts of this bio may be exaggerated. Waiting for Fairies is not responsible for any credulity that may be lost in the reading of this bio.2 Responses to “Reading Meme – Day Twenty-Eight”

Awww yaaaay LJ Smith! I think I read her NW books first, probably Spellbinder and then tore through everything else she every wrote. I was never able to find her two childrens books though. BTW, she is writing again and planning on finishing Strange Fate but from what I've read it's….scary. I prefer to remember her old writing.
I've seen at the bookstore that she's been putting out new Vampire Diaries stories. I've been meaning to pick some up. So you're saying this new stuff doesn't compare well?
