Narrative Concering Books The Initiation (The Secret Circle #1)
I read this trilogy so many times as a teen that I had to buy a whole new set of books since they were so worn out. And then I pretty much wore those out too. I think the novels definitely qualify as guilty pleasures. I hadn't touched the books in years but when I was moving, I happened to come across my tattered copy and decided to open it up again. To my surprise, I tore through them in about a day and a half! At the age of 25, after having read these books about a dozen times, I found myself staying awake waaaay past my bed time to get that "one last chapter." I think that should say it all.Itemize Books As The Initiation (The Secret Circle #1)

Someday I might look back at this series and finish it.
I read this because the television show looked like something I wanted to watch, if that makes any sense. It was okay. Predictable, but short, I think, and not slow. Also, not suspenseful in any way. I feel like it's a little dated. It definitely reads like the first book in a series. Nothing gets resolved. There are a lot of explanations of witchy things. I saw the Craft, thanks, I don't need you to explain to me the ethics of love spells or calling the elements or blah blah blah. I know this
Yup, basically what I expected.
As a young teen, L.J. Smith was an idol. From Dark Visions to The Vampire Diaries, she crafted dark genre pieces that were both intelligent and gripping. To this day, I reread my well worn copies with childlike glee, running over in my mind the influences her writing had on my imagination: the fact that for years I wanted to be a parapsychologist, that I love overblown fantasy stories with a love twist, that even now I'm wearing a hemitite bracelet. The first part of the The Secret Circle
I picked up this book after seing some of the TV series episodes and I must admite that I am disappointed. I thought it would be as dinamic s the tv series, but NO, and I don't usually say that but I almost gave up reading it. I hated Cassie. She's childish, insecure and stupid. She keeps dreaming about a boy she has only seen once and talked to for less than an hour. Also, she keeps winning and crying, because she has no friends and she wants Diana to be friends with her.
