The Top 10 Best Vampire Book Series
Not too long ago Anne Rice was the queen of vampire fiction with her creation of the legendary Lestat.However, in the past few years Stephenie Meyer with her Twilight Saga, Charlaine Harris with True Blood, and other authors with their vampire creations have stormed the best seller charts.But what are the most popular series with the legions of online vamp lit fans?The top ten most popular (based on online chatter) vampire book series are..10.Riley Jensen Guardian by Keri Arthur.9.Anita Blake Vampire Hunter by Laurell K.Hamilton.8.The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice.7.The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine.6.Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber.5.The Darren Shan Saga by Darren Shan.4.Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.3.The House of Night by P.C.Cast and Kristin Cast.2.The Southern Vampire Mysteries / Sookie Stackhouse Novels / True Blood Series by Charlaine Harris.And the most popular Vampire Lit Series is no surprise.1.The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer.Not quite making the top ten were Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost, Vampire Diaries by L.J.Smith, Undead and .By MaryJanice Davidson, Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz, Vampire Beach by Alex Duval, Night World by L.J.Smith, Nikki and Michael by Keri Arthur, Mackenzie Vampires by Nina Bangs, and Almost Human by Melanie Nowak.The top two series on this list have also been adapted for the screen, with the wildly popular Twilight Saga movies and True Blood television series on HBO.This can have only helped their dominance in this poll.While great literature does not need to be adapted for the screen, it will clearly raise awareness of a series and bring in a whole new group of fans.A Darren Shan motion picture (Cirque du Freak. The Vampire's Assistant) will be released in late 2009.Both House of Night and Vampire Academy films or TV adaptations are almost inevitable, although neither seem to be even close to production.If the new CW Network TV series based on L.J.Smith's Vampire Diaries is a hit, then those novels are bound to be in the top ten for my next vamp lit poll.And, finally, it is lovely to see that modern vampire literature icon and pioneer Anne Rice made the list, even if she was not in the top five.Oddly, only two of Anne Rice's novels (Interview with the Vampire and The Queen of the Damned) were ever turned into feature films.I compiled this list by searching for each of the vampire book series on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online.

American Candy - Celebrate Halloween the American Way
The Halloween tradition of costumed children knocking on neighbours' doors and calling out "trick or treat?" is relatively new to the UK.Until a couple of decades ago, at the end of every October and beginning of November British children were more likely to be found on busy high streets with a home-made life-sized dummy of a man - often stuffed into a pram or a trolley - asking shoppers for "a penny for the Guy" (Guy, of course, being Guy Fawkes, whose effigy is traditionally burnt on bonfires on 5th November, as a punishment for almost blowing up the Houses of Parliament in the 17th century).The pennies collected would usually be given to parents who would buy fireworks, to be set off on Bonfire Night.However, in recent years the Halloween festival, celebrated the American way, has become increasingly popular in Britain, and 'penny for the Guy' has all but disappeared.Halloween parties and evening door-knocking by miniature witches, goblins and vampires have become norms that give children something to look forward to when the nights start drawing in, and which give supermarkets an excuse to stock up on bumper packs of sweets for 'victims' to hand out to trick-or-treaters.But with British children having such fun with a very American tradition, we think it would be a lovely idea to give trick-or-treaters American candy, helping children to have an authentic American Halloween.Here's a selection of our favourite American candy which would be perfect for handing out to trick-or-treaters.Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.Fondant chocolate cups filled with peanut butter, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are an all-American classic.There are three Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in each pack.Reese's Pieces.Tasty peanut butter in crispy, crunchy candy shells - absolutely delicious, Reese's Pieces come in 43g bags and are perfect for handing out to trick-or-treaters, though you may be tempted to eat a few yourself!Hershey's.Hershey's Cookies n Creme is a white chocolate bar which contains chocolate cookie bits - so it's crunchy and chocolatey at the same time.Alternatively, there's Hershey's Chocolate n Creme, which is made of milk chocolate instead of white chocolate.Hershey's Whatchamacallit is a peanut flavoured crisp candy topped with a layer of caramel and dipped in chocolate - and its name is pretty unforgettable! Or if you're expecting a lot of little horrors knocking on your door, there's Hershey's Miniatures.In this 150g bag you'll find a bite sized selection of classic American chocolate, including Hershey's Milk Chocolate, Hershey's Krackel with milk chocolate and crisped rice, Hershey's Special Dark and Hershey's Mr Goodbar with creamy chocolate and crunchy peanuts.Other classic Hershey's products include Milk Duds - delicious milk chocolate covered caramel candies - and Hershey's Kisses, which have an unusual shape and come in individually foil wrapped pieces, so they're perfect for trick-or-treaters.Oreo Cookies.Oreo cookies are the classic American sandwich biscuit, and the 'proper' way to eat them is to twist, lick and dunk - apparently! Oreo Cookies are two chocolate flavoured biscuits sandwiched together with a delicious vanilla flavoured filling.One box of Oreo Cookies contains 16 biscuits - so there's plenty to go round, even if you get a huge troupe of little horrors knocking on your door!Oreo's also come in bags of miniature-sized pieces, which are the perfect size for smaller mouths.Cracker Jacks.Cracker Jacks are little boxes of caramel coated popcorn and peanuts, and they're a true American classic which have been around for over a hundred years.Cracker Jacks are famous for the tiny prizes concealed in each box, and for appearing in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.Each pack contains three 28g boxes of Cracker Jacks.Fruit Gushers.A box of Fruit Gushers contains six 25g pouches of these delicious little chewy sweets that ooze a watermelon flavoured liquid when you bite into them.Is your mouth watering yet?Candy Corn.If you're only going to give out one type of American candy to your trick-or-treaters, then it has to be Candy Corn - it's the traditional American Halloween treat.These little bite-sized pieces of candy are shaped to resemble corn kernels, and no Halloween candy collection would be complete without them!

Understanding Dog Behavior and Language
Childhood fears, I had many.Most of them were easy for me to get rid of. vampires, witches, bats, the stranger.But getting rid of my fear for dogs was never easy.Because in my childhood, dogs were real. they were stray, they were fierce, they would bark, and they would bite.My husband's TV entertainment of dog shows on TV was my cure.Gradually as I started to understand dog behavior and language, I started to get very interested in dogs, even wanted one for a pet.Maybe a season of watching The Dog Whisperer did it.By then I was seeing dog fangs as smiles, short barks as greetings.Jumpiness as play, sniffs as kisses.Or the loud barks from the neighbor's fence as "hey guys, I want to run with you!" Maybe.On the trail where my husband and I run, no longer do I take cover behind his back when I see a dog.I would happily pet the friendly ones with their tails wagging and bodies wiggling.Great dog body language.Like two basset hounds named Bonnie and Clyde.And Hannah and Sophia, two pugs, a tan and a black.They liked me because I was always ready with the petting-greeting for them.Dogs who seemed to look like charging up to me, I'd confidently meet with my two palms spread out to them.It's like telling them I got nothing to hurt them.I think that was one of the principles of dog psychology I learned from Millan, the Dog Whisperer.And then I realized off-leash or on, dogs didn't scare me anymore.I figured I must be speaking dog-language through my body language.I also learned from Millan that dogs are by nature dominant yet very sensitive to human feelings and emotions.That if they sensed that you are afraid, they will try to dominate you and take advantage of that fear.They attack, they lunge at you to exercise their dominance over one who's not their master.Same principle is supposed to work among dogs.Maybe that's why none of the dogs who used to sniff at me didn't sniff anymore.No fear here.Move on.Nice world indeed when humans and dogs co-exist, even love and respect and protect one another.Here's a thought. in our world today, are humans behaving like their wild canine counterparts towards their fellow humans? Dominance and fear - are we being more like wild dogs and our trained dogs being more like humans?Can't there be world peace?

Twilight Book Review
Seventeen year old Bella moves from sunny Phoenix to rainy Forks, Washington, but the new school is the least of her troubles.She soon finds herself attracted to a mysterious boy who seems to be infuriated by her mere presence.Soon, however, the truth comes out and the two become inseparable.Bella never dreamed she'd fall in love, let alone with a vampire named Edward.Throughout the novel, he fights to save her, from himself and from others.Those who will enjoy this novel most are teens and adults looking for a good fantasy and adolescent romance.This is the novel that took Harry Potter's place on the best seller's list.The world of magic and wizards may very well be replaced with the world of vampires created by Stephenie Meyer in her Twilight Saga.In this first novel of the trilogy, named after the saga, the world of vampires is introduced.I personally enjoyed the fantasy elements and the world of vampires.Meyer creates a few new ideas around the myth of the vampire that stray from the traditional.My only problem was with the pacing of the novel.I waited through the entire thing for something to happen.The first 500 pages or so is a nearly day-to-day account of Bella's teenage life, and that got a bit repetitive and boring to me.The last 50 pages, though, were intense and suspenseful.Yet when I finished reading "Twilight," I wanted to continue on to the next in the series.The end of the novel made me want to continue reading to find out what happens with the characters I came to know well in the first novel.I think fans of Young Adult novels or adolescent romances will enjoy this, particularly if they like a bit of fantasy.Meyer manages to create a fantastical world in a very real way.It's a YA novel first, and a fantasy second.If you're a fan of adult romance, you may find yourself disappointed by this novel.The characters are teenagers (the human ones, anyway), so the romance is more one of discovery and first kisses.For me, the novel didn't seem to be written particularly well.The plot is simple, characters are predictable and static, and it takes forever for the action to start.That all being said, I think the novel was at least average and worth a read.I will continue to read the rest in the series, but I doubt I'll re-read them once I'm done.

The Top 10 Best Vampire Book Series
Not too long ago Anne Rice was the queen of vampire fiction with her creation of the legendary Lestat.However, in the past few years Stephenie Meyer with her Twilight Saga, Charlaine Harris with True Blood, and other authors with their vampire creations have stormed the best seller charts.But what are the most popular series with the legions of online vamp lit fans?The top ten most popular (based on online chatter) vampire book series are..10.Riley Jensen Guardian by Keri Arthur.9.Anita Blake Vampire Hunter by Laurell K.Hamilton.8.The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice.7.The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine.6.Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber.5.The Darren Shan Saga by Darren Shan.4.Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.3.The House of Night by P.C.Cast and Kristin Cast.2.The Southern Vampire Mysteries / Sookie Stackhouse Novels / True Blood Series by Charlaine Harris.And the most popular Vampire Lit Series is no surprise.1.The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer.Not quite making the top ten were Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost, Vampire Diaries by L.J.Smith, Undead and .By MaryJanice Davidson, Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz, Vampire Beach by Alex Duval, Night World by L.J.Smith, Nikki and Michael by Keri Arthur, Mackenzie Vampires by Nina Bangs, and Almost Human by Melanie Nowak.The top two series on this list have also been adapted for the screen, with the wildly popular Twilight Saga movies and True Blood television series on HBO.This can have only helped their dominance in this poll.While great literature does not need to be adapted for the screen, it will clearly raise awareness of a series and bring in a whole new group of fans.A Darren Shan motion picture (Cirque du Freak. The Vampire's Assistant) will be released in late 2009.Both House of Night and Vampire Academy films or TV adaptations are almost inevitable, although neither seem to be even close to production.If the new CW Network TV series based on L.J.Smith's Vampire Diaries is a hit, then those novels are bound to be in the top ten for my next vamp lit poll.And, finally, it is lovely to see that modern vampire literature icon and pioneer Anne Rice made the list, even if she was not in the top five.Oddly, only two of Anne Rice's novels (Interview with the Vampire and The Queen of the Damned) were ever turned into feature films.I compiled this list by searching for each of the vampire book series on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online.

Childhood fears, I had many.Most of them were easy for me to get rid of. vampires, witches, bats, the stranger.But getting rid of my fear for dogs was never easy.Because in my childhood, dogs were real. they were stray, they were fierce, they would bark, and they would bite.My husband's TV entertainment of dog shows on TV was my cure.Gradually as I started to understand dog behavior and language, I started to get very interested in dogs, even wanted one for a pet.Maybe a season of watching The Dog Whisperer did it.By then I was seeing dog fangs as smiles, short barks as greetings.Jumpiness as play, sniffs as kisses.Or the loud barks from the neighbor's fence as "hey guys, I want to run with you!" Maybe.On the trail where my husband and I run, no longer do I take cover behind his back when I see a dog.I would happily pet the friendly ones with their tails wagging and bodies wiggling.Great dog body language.Like two basset hounds named Bonnie and Clyde.And Hannah and Sophia, two pugs, a tan and a black.They liked me because I was always ready with the petting-greeting for them.Dogs who seemed to look like charging up to me, I'd confidently meet with my two palms spread out to them.It's like telling them I got nothing to hurt them.I think that was one of the principles of dog psychology I learned from Millan, the Dog Whisperer.And then I realized off-leash or on, dogs didn't scare me anymore.I figured I must be speaking dog-language through my body language.I also learned from Millan that dogs are by nature dominant yet very sensitive to human feelings and emotions.That if they sensed that you are afraid, they will try to dominate you and take advantage of that fear.They attack, they lunge at you to exercise their dominance over one who's not their master.Same principle is supposed to work among dogs.Maybe that's why none of the dogs who used to sniff at me didn't sniff anymore.No fear here.Move on.Nice world indeed when humans and dogs co-exist, even love and respect and protect one another.Here's a thought. in our world today, are humans behaving like their wild canine counterparts towards their fellow humans? Dominance and fear - are we being more like wild dogs and our trained dogs being more like humans?Can't there be world peace?

Twilight Book Review
Seventeen year old Bella moves from sunny Phoenix to rainy Forks, Washington, but the new school is the least of her troubles.She soon finds herself attracted to a mysterious boy who seems to be infuriated by her mere presence.Soon, however, the truth comes out and the two become inseparable.Bella never dreamed she'd fall in love, let alone with a vampire named Edward.Throughout the novel, he fights to save her, from himself and from others.Those who will enjoy this novel most are teens and adults looking for a good fantasy and adolescent romance.This is the novel that took Harry Potter's place on the best seller's list.The world of magic and wizards may very well be replaced with the world of vampires created by Stephenie Meyer in her Twilight Saga.In this first novel of the trilogy, named after the saga, the world of vampires is introduced.I personally enjoyed the fantasy elements and the world of vampires.Meyer creates a few new ideas around the myth of the vampire that stray from the traditional.My only problem was with the pacing of the novel.I waited through the entire thing for something to happen.The first 500 pages or so is a nearly day-to-day account of Bella's teenage life, and that got a bit repetitive and boring to me.The last 50 pages, though, were intense and suspenseful.Yet when I finished reading "Twilight," I wanted to continue on to the next in the series.The end of the novel made me want to continue reading to find out what happens with the characters I came to know well in the first novel.I think fans of Young Adult novels or adolescent romances will enjoy this, particularly if they like a bit of fantasy.Meyer manages to create a fantastical world in a very real way.It's a YA novel first, and a fantasy second.If you're a fan of adult romance, you may find yourself disappointed by this novel.The characters are teenagers (the human ones, anyway), so the romance is more one of discovery and first kisses.For me, the novel didn't seem to be written particularly well.The plot is simple, characters are predictable and static, and it takes forever for the action to start.That all being said, I think the novel was at least average and worth a read.I will continue to read the rest in the series, but I doubt I'll re-read them once I'm done.

Maybe.On the trail where my husband and I run, no longer do I take cover behind his back when I see a dog.I would happily pet the friendly ones with their tails wagging and bodies wiggling.Great dog body language.Like two basset hounds named Bonnie and Clyde.And Hannah and Sophia, two pugs, a tan and a black.They liked me because I was always ready with the petting-greeting for them.Dogs who seemed to look like charging up to me, I'd confidently meet with my two palms spread out to them.It's like telling them I got nothing to hurt them.I think that was one of the principles of dog psychology I learned from Millan, the Dog Whisperer.And then I realized off-leash or on, dogs didn't scare me anymore.I figured I must be speaking dog-language through my body language.I also learned from Millan that dogs are by nature dominant yet very sensitive to human feelings and emotions.That if they sensed that you are afraid, they will try to dominate you and take advantage of that fear.They attack, they lunge at you to exercise their dominance over one who's not their master.Same principle is supposed to work among dogs.Maybe that's why none of the dogs who used to sniff at me didn't sniff anymore.No fear here.Move on.Nice world indeed when humans and dogs co-exist, even love and respect and protect one another.Here's a thought. in our world today, are humans behaving like their wild canine counterparts towards their fellow humans? Dominance and fear - are we being more like wild dogs and our trained dogs being more like humans?Can't there be world peace?

The Ten Best Romance eBooks of 2009
Of all the GLBT romance and erotica e-books I read in 2009, these were my favorites.Please note that this list reflects my own, highly subjective opinion and is not an official list from any website or organization.10.Nights in Pink Satin by Sharon Maria Bidwell.In another lifetime, Vincent was known as Count Dracula.In modern London, as he prepares for his annual vampire cotillion, Vincent becomes intrigued by a bolt of fuscia-pink satin, and obsessed with finding out who would want to line a coffin with such an extravagant fabric.The answer leads him to some surprising truths about himself in this offbeat paranormal romance.9.Queer Hauntings by Ken Summers.In my hometown is the Truman's Entertainment Complex, consisting of two linked GLBT bars, one a sports bar and one a dance club.Did you ever stop to consider there may be gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual spirits, as well as the heterosexual ghosts we typically hear about from the ghost hunters? That is the topic of the nonfiction book Queer Hauntings.If you love ghost stories at all, you'll find it fascinating, from the famous ghosts (Liberace is said to haunt the restaurant he once owned, for example) to ordinary people and couples whose lives were cut tragically short.8.The Dandelion Clock by Jay Mandel.The Dandelion Clock by Jay Mandal is a sweet romance novel.Its main characters just happen to be two men, David and Rob, English guys in the 1980s.In this very realistic character study, 20-something David pines for 19-year-old Rob, but will Rob ever even notice?7.Agency of Extraordinary Mates. Finding Magic by Kate Douglas.I've enjoyed Kate Douglas's spicy novels for years, and this book was no exception.It's fun, and the reader will certainly find magic!6.I Kissed a Girl, edited by Regina Perry.Inspired by Katy Perry's pop tune, the twelve short stories in this anthology crackle with tension.In each tale, a woman kisses another woman for the first time.Sometimes, her boyfriend doesn't mind it.Others are purely Sapphic imaginings, with nary a Y-chromosome in sight.All are passion-inspiring; some are beautifully told stories in their own "write.".5.Secretly Bound by Jade.Jade and her wife Jessica live in the Netherlands with their young son.Jessica desperately wants to have another child, but she's having trouble getting pregnant again.Jessica's increasing disappoint creates a rift between them, leading Jade down a dangerous path.She seeks to ease her loneliness by flirting with a woman she meets on an online social network.What follows is a tense blend of romance, sensuality, and action.Fans of Anais Nin will appreciate the way Jade (the author) weaves the story of Henry and June into her narrative.4.Other Magical Creatures, edited by M.Rode.OMC is a collection of steamy, long short stories/short novellas with paranormal characters.There's a weretiger, an artist who sells his soul to a demon, a couple of witches, a handful of werewolves, an ancient Greek god reincarnated as a bartender!3.Samhain's Embrace by Jesse Fox.If you have any interest in Celtic mythology, you will find it a fascinating little volume.It's a contemporary story, set in modern times.Bran has lost the love of his life to a brutal murder.And only a shadowy figure from the world of ancient gods and goddesses can make him feel alive again.2.Up For Grabs, edited by Lauren P.Burka.If your reading tastes are a bit quirky, if you're an open-minded reader, and if you enjoy the premise of "What if?".Then Up For Grabs, edited by Lauren P.Burka (Circlet Press) is just the book for you.In these five delicious tales, gender is up for grabs, and science pushes the boundaries between male and female, natural and unnatural.1.Sappho Sings by Peggy Ullman Bell.I rarely give a novel five stars, but I was tremendously impressed with the quality of storytelling in Sappho Sings, a fictionalized biography of the ancient Greek poet by Peggy Ullman Bell.Whether or not you are familiar with Sappho's timeless verse, this book brings history to life, and is a rolicking good romance as well!
