My Favourite Author ~ Lisa Jane Smith
Sunday. 3.29.09 12:06 pm
Dear Diary,
Reading never been my passion, in the past, if one book was handed towards me, I�ll immediately show the disgust face, because I just simply hate reading! [Of course the book I meant was novel either fiction or nonfiction]
But one fine day, my friend Renaye was all over this particular novel, Black Dawn by Lisa Jane Smith, she was telling me and other friends how well she wrote and pin pointed us to read a particular page number in the book because, she was excited over L.J.S writing skill of Prince Delos (the main character of the story) and Maggie (the female lead) kissing. As curious as I was, i started reading that particular page, and yes I still doubt it :P. but after reading it, it really catches my eyes and my soul to finish the book, to know the ending yet I just too lazy to hold on it.
SPM was over, and I still struggling to be patient towards books, imagine, I didn�t finish reading The Pearl (compulsory book in F5) yet I sit for my SPM lol. But later, i borrow Black Dawn from her to read during my holiday to KL and later Seremban.
The day I landed my feet on Seremban as a part-time nurse and Nanny at my uncle�s house. This was when I start flip through pages over pages of Black Dawn.
I started it slow at the night, as I only free then, and slowly the story line get into intense and I just wanted to finish it fast as I wanted to know what happen to Maggie�s brother and how the love between Prince Delos and Maggie as well as the Elder�. So within one night I finished another half of the book. The feeling was overjoyed and I wanted more, more of her book as I love her style of writing, yes I�m hunger for her books, her stories which were very rare to buy from bookstore, seriously her books were simply rare in the market for many years, until recently they reprinted it (3 in 1) for Night World series (RM29.90) and (2 in 1) for Vampire Diaries.
1 or 2 years ago, Renaye called, do I wanted Black Dawn (2nd hand), and immediately I said yes, since I only needed Black Dawn to complete my Night World Series. :D
It took me years to completely collect most of her books, although I�m still hunting for The Solstice and Heart of Valor and Of course now I�m still waiting for the New Night World series � The Strange Fate. Although it been years of waiting, but I know is worth the wait.
Anyway these are the L.J.Smith books I owned, and we (me and renaye jokingly saying we will installed sensor, alarm, unbreakable shield to keep our L.J.Smith�s books, because we simple adore it. :D
The Night World Series
The Vampire Diaries
The Forbidden Games
The Secret Circles :D
Dark Vision
MY PROUD COLLECTION :D
About the author~ Quote from The Night World One � Secret Vampire
Lisa Jane Smith is the author of more than a dozen books for young adults, including The Vampire Diaries and the trilogies The Forbidden Game and Dark Visions. Since childhood she has been fascinated by the night and the way the ordinary world changes in moonlight. She lives in northern California, in a rambling house in a small town.
To read about her and her stories, you can visit her official site� which I always excited about.. lol :D
My favorite L.J.Smith books are (yes present tense since I still loving it) The secret circles series, Night World � Secret Vampire, The Chosen (haha cause I like John Quinn :P), and Soulmate (since it was my first bought L.J.Smith�s book ~ Lord Thierry~~~~~~), [SPOILER ALERT]The Forbidden Game Trilogies � which I refused to finish it after so many years (2 or 3 chapter left I think) because I don�t want Julian to die!!!!!! Haha but I know Renaye keep asking me to finish it and keep telling me he die he die :(.
But of course I loves all her books, all the stories she wrote except one� which I don�t really understand nor enjoy~~ haha Night World The Dark Angel� maybe I should just re read it� haha� and I think I�m gonna read Secret Vampire again�.. Jamie and Poppy~~~~ they are cute couple, but Mary-Lynnette Carter and Ash Redfern is the cutest couple.
L.J.Smith�s books had played important roles in my life. Well after reading her books, I started to love reading, and I started to read other authors, like R.L. Stine, Deborah Wright [to have a good laugh], Melissa Nathan and other (fiction). Later my passion towards kids had make me started reading nonfiction books about abuse, survival and others, like Torey Hayden, Dave Pelzer , Joe Peters(is in my facebook friendlist:D) and others.
