kid & adult magic books

[timepiececlock]

So who read/ used to read L. J. Smith? I loved her "Secret Circle" books.

How about Lloyd Alexander's books: The Book of Three; The Black Cauldron; the High King?

Ursula LeGuin's Wizard of Earthsea books?

The Redwall books with the talking animals of which there's 50 million and I only got through ten?

I read most of them. Vampire Diaries was the only one I didn't, I think.

I'd recommend them highly, if only for Damon, who RULED those books with an iron fist. I've decided not to re-read them only because I don't want my childhood adoration of the series to be tainted by adulthood.

But then Julian was evil. But he loved her...

Yeah, and died for her and her friends! "You cannot save me from myself!" Yes, I actually remember lines from the book.

Did you read Dark Visions? I remember Gabriel... he was SUCH a Spike character.

Dude. How did I forget Gabriel? And what was awesome about those books was that the heroine actually chooses the Spike character over the Riley character. I remember sighing many a girlish sigh over that.

I loved that. He was a "psychic vampire", with a troubled childhood, a vicious streak the size of the grand canyon, and the only thing that made him a better person was how he felt about her and how she made him better, and she chose him over the perfect golden boy! I loved that.
