The Vampire Diaries and a Quiet Moment at the Cemetery

I visited the cemetery today. It’s always the perfect place to slow down and just be.

The weather was beautiful, with a soft wind moving through the trees, everything calm and peaceful.

If you know me at all, you know how much I love The Vampire Diaries. It’s been my favorite series since it first aired in 2009. One of the first things that drew me in was the opening episode, Elena sitting in a cemetery, writing in her journal. I visit cemeteries and journal often myself, so that moment just felt familiar in a way that stuck with me. Even the mention of Hitchcock stood out in a way that felt perfectly aligned with my taste. Today felt like one of those quiet, calm new beginnings like that first episode did.

Bookstore Win: Finding the AFTER Series at Bookhounds Used Bookstore

One of my favorite places to visit in my city is BookHounds Used Bookstore. It is the kind of shop where you can easily lose track of time browsing through shelves filled with used books, vinyl records, comics, CDs, and DVDs.

ONE OF US IS DEAD

My current read, and I’m already hooked. I’ve been a fan of Jeneva Rose ever since You Shouldn’t Have Come Here pulled me back into reading. She truly has a gift for twists you never see coming. I’m only 40 pages in, but I already know I’ll be flying through this one. It’s nearly impossible for me to put her books down.
