I'm psyched because I just read
author Richelle Mead's review about the first movie adaptation of the first book in her
beloved YA series and it sounds like the adaptation is really, really good. I read the series after I went with
_lady_narcissa_to a book signing in Chicago for the final book in the Vampire Academy series. I actually purchased the first book in the series after the signing while spending time wandering around Chicago, entertaining myself with museums and cafes and bookstores. I was planning on finishing the book on my flight back home, but Snowmagedon happened and my flight was cancelled, delaying my return by THREE DAYS! I had training I had to present at work or I would have happily spent the extra time with
_lady_narcissa_. Instead, I rented what must have been the last SUV in the Chicagoland area and drove myself home. Don't worry, the snow was moving east and I was heading northwest and the highways were all well plowed the entire drive home. :)
Anyway, back to Vampire Academy. I just turned a friend's 17 year old daughter onto the series and she's really enjoying the books. I hope to take her to see the movie sometime in the next few weeks when our schedules align. Knowing that Richelle Mead is psyched about the movie and fully endorses the adaptation makes me even more excited! I hope her vision of the book and mine mesh enough I can enjoy it. LOL
If you're a fan of the Vampire Academy series, are you planning on seeing the movie?
