Top 7 Scenes from The Vampire Diaries series
Friday, June 01, 2012
I don’t know if you know this
about me but I am a HUGE Vampire Dairies
fan. Even before I was a blogger, I was
reading The Vampire Dairies series
more than I can count on my two hands. I
discovered the books via my local library.
I would drink books up like water, one right after another. My librarian requested the series without my
knowledge and when they came in with these old-fashioned covers, I couldn’t
read them right away; the covers bothered me, they were just so old and being
such a picky 13 year old, I couldn’t help but put them off. When I went to Borders (*sniffle*) a few
weeks before the books at the library were due, I saw the same series of books
but with a revamped cover and got them and devoured them immediately. L.J. Smith easily became (and still is) one
of my favorite authors. Approximately 4
years ago, I discovered that they were making a TV show about the book series. Fan-girling commenced.
After watching the finale to
Season 3 of Vampire Dairies, a few
weeks ago, my friend and I got into a heated debate about what would happen in
Season 4. That got us discussing the
book series, which she hasn’t read yet.
I told her about L.J. Smith’s discontinuation with the series that you
can read about HERE. This still
devastates me because I love L.J. Smith’s work and I would love to know where
she would have taken the series.
Well, to get you all in The Vampire Diaries mood, I made up two lists of my top favorites
about VD. After these two lists, L.J.
Smith will be coming over to The Bucket
List to share a guest post about the series. So spread the word about this and stay tuned
for that awesome guest post!
Top 7 Scenes from The Vampire Dairies series
1. “’I tell you I’m dying and you laugh at me?’ a disheveled Damon shouted. ‘I’m blind, deaf, my senses are haywire—and you laugh!’” p. 595, Shadow Souls by L. J. Smith
It is just so ironic that it
quickly became one of my favorite scenes in the book. It also makes me wonder about what would
happen if Stefan did get to be human.
Would the book series just end there?
2. “’I’m the mirror?’ she said then, looking up at him.‘You’ve stolen my soul,’ he said.” p. 348, The Awakening by L.J. Smith
It is quotes like these for why
I am Team Stefan in the book. Best
pick-up line ever. That is all I need to
say.
3. “Damon had picked up the snow globe with the miniature forest when Shinichi found Elena’s smudged glow radiating from it.” p. 407, Nightfall by L.J. Smith
The snow globe is not so much a
scene; it is a concept. L.J. Smith is
such a fantastic writer and this plotline wows me every time. The fox demons come to town and put Elena
inside a snow globe. Not only do I like
how she got into the trap, but I also like how Damon decides to follow her and
bring her back, after all he has done to her.
4. “They ended up in a rush and then fell to the ground together, arms locked around each other, each holding on as tightly as possible. Neither of them said a word.” p. 515, Dark Reunion by L.J. Smith
I waited a long time for
Nightfall. I thought this was the end,
which I didn’t like at all because I wanted more of the story. However this particular scene with Stefan and
Elena rolling around in the grass together was just so cute. Yah!
Elena was back and Stefan didn’t have to be miserable anymore.
5. “It really was unbearable.……and it was Bonnie….” p. 147, Nightfall by L.J. Smith
This was surprisingly the first
time I saw that this relationship could work.
Damon and Bonnie. I never thought
of it before, but look at it. Damon was
undressing her to take a bath, and he describes her in a way that sounds
delicate and sort of loving. I now look
at his nickname for her, “little redbird,” in a new light.
6. “Then, very gently and deliberately, she drew that snarling mouth down to her own.” p. 237, The Awakening by L.J. Smith
This scene was what made me
believe that Elena was very strong and brave.
I love characters like that, they are special. It was upsetting that they didn’t put this
scene in the TV show because it would have helped Elena’s character a great
deal.
7. “After what seemed like centuries but was only a few hours, something moved in the ash. A fist clenched.” p. 567, Midnight by L.J. Smith
I remember when I first read
this. I was crying my eyes out until
this scene. I remember sniffling,
standing up from my chair, and just staring around the room. That was how it ended? It was great that he didn’t die but how was
he going to get home now? Damon is all
alone under this tree. What is going to
happen? The scene itself was so dramatic
that I thought about it a great deal when I finished the book. The dead can twitch, can’t they? I tried to come up with every possible way to
cope with waiting for a next book.
We have 7 books in the series,
