Why is Midnight Sun here when it's not even published yet?

Where are Tanya Huff's books. The Blood Books were the first vampire books I ever read.

'Blood Price' and 'Blood Lines' are among my favorites.

I've added them so others can vote! If you haven't read them, I highly recommend the series.

Where are Charlaine Harris's books though?

What about Companions of the Night by Vivian Van Vende?

What about Caroline B. Cooney's Vampire Trilogy?

Though I do love Stephenie Meyer's saga/ series.

i absolutely loved twilight and the other books! stephanie meyer really is a good writer!

who knows, though on Stephenie's website it says she's working hard to get it done, she even has the rough draft on the website!!! But it only goes to pg 264!!

I must add Michael Talbot's *Delicate Dependency: A Novel of the Vampire Life.* One of the best I've read, from the 70's and the one and only book by Talbot that's worth reading. (Some authors only have one book in them.) Not easy to find, alas. Lush, with great descriptions, and unpredictable twists. This book must be on the Vampire List!

Twilight is AMAZING. i love Stephenie Meyer, she's the best author i've read.

The Twilight Saga is the best series Ever!!!
SM is definitely the best... The books (for me) had the perfect ending and was developed perfectly... leaving one fulfilled but also leaving the book at a point that can end there but at the same time if she wishes to she can continue with the Cullen family...

To the Midnight Sun questions... she has postponed the book indefinitely because of the leak but we the Twilight fans are sure she'll finish it soon!

No Anita Blake books - what the...??

I just finished Lifeblood, do get yourself a copy as its very classic and you won't be able to put it down. I read it in 3 nights.

RD, I just added Carmilla to this list, so now's your chance to vote for it! (You're right --it well deserves to be on this list, and certainly did influence Stoker when he wrote Dracula.) You can actually add books yourself as well; just enter the title of the one you want to add in the search box at the right-hand (as you face the screen) top of the list's first page. That will bring up one or more hits, and you click on the "vote" button for the right one.

Why is Anne Frank on here??

Clearly, Anne Frank was a vampire.

Janepage and Suzy, I checked just now, and somebody has already deleted Anne Frank's book from here. If they hadn't, I would have. :-)

Ive not read 46 out of the 122 Books. And I agree why is Midnight Sun on here and it has yet to be published ?

Beau, I think one purpose of these lists is to serve as a resource where people can find recommendations for books they haven't read, in genres that interest them. So if one uses a list in that way, the more unread books on them, the merrier! :-)

Midnight Sun isn't published in print (and isn't finished yet, as I understand it), but what's written so far can be read online, so it's "published" in that sense. I haven't read it myself (I don't like to read large blocs of text in the electronic format), but many people have --including my oldest daughter-- and are quite excited about it, so I can understand why someone might have wanted to list it here. The Goodreads record will no doubt indicate what format it's in and that it's not fully finished, so a person can make his/her own judgment about whether or not to read it.

Anne Frank? Somehow I missed the vampirism in that book!

I absolutely loved The Strain. I strongly recommend it if you like vampire themed books. Beware, it's not a tame "Twilight" vampire book!

I have only read one of these books. Vampire stories aren't my 'thing'

My novella Lifeblood, on the list above, has been marked as to-read by 215 people; but since the publisher went out of business, I know that most of you haven't been able to get it through normal channels. So I felt that it might be appropriate to mention, for any of you who are interested, that until I can find a new traditional publisher, I've brought out a self-published edition, printed by Lulu. It has the same text as the original --just not the pretty cover art. To order the paperback edition, the list price is $9.87, and the URL is: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback... . (S & H varies with your selected method.) Lulu also offers the "download" version, which I believe is the e-book though I don't have any other information about it, for $5.00. (For those of you who prefer to do your reading through your local library, this book probably won't be on the shelf, but you can get it by interlibrary loan. Just tell your local librarian that it's in World Catalog and several OCLC libraries have it; he/she will be familiar with those terms.)

To answer a couple of frequently asked questions, no, this book is NOT currently available on Amazon, because the current edition doesn't have an ISBN. (Amazon has an entry for this edition, but if you click on it, their link is dead.) Also, if you want your local bookstore to special order it for you, you can give them the above URL; but some stores may not want to do so, because Lulu will charge them list price without giving a bookstore discount.

My apologies if anyone feels this post is off-topic, or too self-promotional! It takes forever to message 215 readers individually; so I thought this mode of communication might be more practical. :-)

To update my preceding message just above, I have now found a new traditional publisher for Lifeblood (so have discontinued the self-published edition that was available on Lulu). My new publisher is Inked in Blood, and for now the book is available only from their website, as a trade paperback. The list price is $14.95, and the URL where the book can be ordered is:
http://inkedinblood.webs.com/apps/web... . (Here's the Goodreads link: Lifeblood)

Twilight is good but its not the best ever. Ive read ALOT better. Now dont say im a hater because i love the books i own them but i just think there are better books out there
