Now I have the added pleasure of becoming intrigued with the world of Vampire Academy way late one night when I read guardianborn's application (it's good to be an admin). I'd read all of the Twilight series and Richelle Mead's books just sounded like what I wished Twilight had actually been. Now, I didn't get myself a copy of the book right away because I was busy, blah blah conference blah work blah. But then I had to get books from the library for summer school anyway so I asked a few people for recs and Emily screamed GET VA. So I did.
I read the first chapter as I walked out to the car (because I have issues, okay?) and when I got home I was all "TELL ME WE GET MORE TALL RUSSIAN GUY!" I want to say I didn't have time that very day to continue reading, but the day I started on chapter two, I finished the book a few hours later with a whole lot of keysmash. Then I went out to the grocery store the next morning and forced the spouse make a side trip to B&N to purchase Frostbite, Shadow's Kiss, and VA (because I'm a completist). I got home in the afternoon, sat down, and read the next two books with a break for dinner in between. And during my break I made a character journal for Dimitri because I have no willpower. But then when I finished SK I weeped and made a WHOLE NEW JOURNAL because Richelle is EVIL. Yes, I'm still upset. But I was also lucky because Emily let me keysmash at her the entire time. I believe I sent whole emails consisting of nothing but character's names and keysmash. Good books, people. They really suck you in.
And then there were like, a few weeks or something before Blood Promise came out and broke my heart at least five different times. And now there's ELEVEN DAYS until I have Spirit Bound and can stop accidentally clicking spoilery links in Richelle's twitter feed and wanting to stab myself through the chest. *nods* And the LAST book comes out in December and I might die while waiting for that one in case you wondered.
