The Vampire Diaries By L.J. Smith.

This series is set around a high school girl named Elena.  She has lost her parents and is trying to put her life back together.  She lives with her little sister Margret and her aunt Judith.  She has two best friends named Bonnie and Meredith.  Bonnie finds out that she's a witch and Meredith is a cool headed teen girl.

Stefan is a vampire that feels compelled to move to Fell's Church.  He enrolls at the local high school where he meets Elena who looks exactly like the woman who turned him into a vampire Katherine.  Elena will do anything she can to win over Stefan.  

Neither of them realize that Stefan's brother Damon is in town.  He also notices Elena's resemblances to Katherine. Both brothers try to win Elena's heart.  Who will she choose?

Everything seems to fall into place for her and Stefan until she finds out that Stefan is actually a vampire. Things get even more complicated when a sexy dark haired stranger appears and seems to want Elena for himself. Can she stay true to Stefan or will Damon have with way with her soul?

    I started reading "The Awakening" but I'm having trouble getting into it. I'm about halfway through, and I just don't like Elena in it. She's so selfish and self-absorbed. Maybe it's because I've watched the show and the way she's presented there is so different.

    I have not read the books yet. I'm not sure if I will. I tend to like to read first and watch later. This was one of those instances where I had never heard of the books until the series came out.

    These are the books that started the tv show. I am doing a lens on the show also. I have been reading these books since I was a teen and just can't get enough.
