Throwback Thursday!

Throwback Thursday April 19th 2013

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by The Housework Can Wait and Never to fond of Books.

It's the nature of book blogging to focus mainly on new releases, but there are thousands of great books out there that haven't seen the "New Releases" shelf in years. We hope to be able to bring attention to some older titles that may or not be at the top of the current bestseller list, but still deserve a spot in your To-Be-Read pile.

You don't have to be a book blogger to participate! You can put up a Throwback Thursday post on your non-bookish blog; or if you don't have a blog at all you can use the comments to tell us about a book your remember fondly.

And NOW! We’re expanding! Throwback Thursday is no longer limited to just books! Throwback Thursday is dedicated to shining the spotlight on any book-related old favorites that need to be remembered.What’s your favorite classic television show or movie adaptation? What about your favorite song? Was your favorite toy a character from a book?

Here’s how it works:

• Pick any media (or non-media item) released more than 5 years ago. Remember to keep it book-related!
• Write up a short summary (include the title, author, and cover art, if applicable) and an explanation of why you love it. Make sure to link back to The Housework Can Wait and Never Too Fond of Books in your post.
• Link up your post at The Housework Can Wait or Never Too Fond of Books.
• Visit as many blogs as you can, reminisce about books you loved, and discover some “new” books for your TBR list – or some other classic

My Choice this week:

The Vampire Diaries
by L.J. Smith
First published 1991
(Goodreads)
(IMDB)
Synopsis 

A Love Triangle of Unspeakable Horror...Elena
Searching for the ultimate thrill, she vowed to have Stefan.

Stefan
Haunted by his tragic past, he struggled to resist her passion.

Damon
Driven by revenge, he hunted the brother who betrayed him.

The terrifying story of two vampire brothers and the beautiful girl torn between them.

I remember reading the first and being unable to get my hands on the next one in the series forever. The little bookstore I used to buy books at couldn't keep them on the shelves. Now keep in mind this was the mid 90's. So of course after waiting forever to get the second one I moved on to Anita Blake however I keep saying I'll start it over. I love the T.V. show and yup I'm not current either. I'm always a season behind. I even own all the season on blu ray but I can't get my hubby to start the series yet I watch his shows. 

What's your throwback?
