In case you haven’t heard (but you have, right?), The Vampire Diaries will have a new 9 p.m. partner this fall on the CW: The Secret Circle, based on L.J. Smith’s trilogy of the same name, adapted for the screen by Kevin Williamson (executive producer, The Vampire Diaries) and Andrew Miller (creator, Imaginary Bitches web series). Yep, an Alloy Entertainment/L.J. Smith/Kevin Williamson block on Thursday nights, which has us long-time fans of both series pinching ourselves and wondering what year it is. (The Secret Circle was originally published in 1992.)
The series stars Britt Robertson as Cassie (center) and (left to right) Thomas Dekker as Adam, Jessica Parker Kennedy as new (i.e.: non-book) character Melissa, Louis Hunter as Nick, Shelley Hennig as Diana, and Phoebe Tonkin as Faye.
The short version: We really, really liked The Secret Circle pilot.
NOTE: Yes, there are major changes from the books, but we think most fans are braced for that and we won’t dwell on the details here. (Tierney Bricker has an excellent breakdown if you’re curious about books vs. pilot. Please be aware that there have been changes to the pilot since the posting of the article.)

Looks like The Vampire Diaries has a new dance partner on Thursday night, to the surprise of no one. The Secret Circle – executive produced by Kevin Williamson and Andrew Miller and based on the L.J. Smith series – has been picked up by the CW and will be taking over Nikita‘s 9pm slot. (Nikita moves to 8pm on Fridays.)
From the CW press release, via Deadline TV:
On Thursday, The CW’s Highest-Rated Hit “The Vampire Diaries” Teams with “The Secret Circle,” a New Drama From Kevin Williamson About a Coven of Powerful Witches
Thursday night will feature two shows from star producer Kevin Williamson and based on a series of books by author L.J. Smith. The CW’s top-rated show THE VAMPIRE DIARIES returns in the 8:00-9:00 p.m. timeslot, leading into new drama THE SECRET CIRCLE from 9:00-10:00 p.m. Britt Robertson stars as Cassie, an orphaned teenage girl who discovers the truth about her lineage – she’s a witch who holds the key to an ancient battle between good and evil.
You can find all the latest news (including freshly released episode stills and promo photos!) on The Secret Circle at TheSecretCircle.net and follow them on Twitter at @secret_circle! And thanks to The TV Addict for the first look at the cast of The Secret Circle:

SPOILER ALERT: If you have not yet read Stefan’s Diaries: Bloodlust (or Origins) but plan to, bookmark this page and come back when you’re done to read and comment. If you, like me, have already finished or don’t plan on reading it at all, continue on!
It feels like just two days ago that I put down the first installment of Stefan’s Diaries and yet here I am. Already finished with Vol. 2 and, if at all possible, I think I read it even faster than I did Vol. 1. As teased in the first two chapters printed at the back of Vol. 1, Stefan’s Diaries, Vol. 2: Bloodlust, leaves off just days after Stefan and Damon Salvatore are murdered by their father and awaken newly undead.

NOTE: An earlier version of this review was published on Entertainment OCD. Huge thanks to Erin for expanding on her original post so we could run it on Vampire-Diaries.net!

Completely devoured the new Vampire Diaries book. This latest, called Stefan’s Diaries, Vol. 1: Origins, is not a continuation of the original series but based entirely on the CW show (which was based on the original series). Don’t get dizzy. It makes complete sense. What’s funny about it (to me) is that no actual author is listed. It simply states “Based on the novels by L.J. Smith and the TV series developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec.” Huh. Who knows? Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed it and didn’t put it down once except to tweet how much I was loving it. That said, let me address a few things I believe could have been done better…

On Thursday, L.J. Smith announced the title of the new Vampire Diaries trilogy on her blog, as well as the individual titles within said trilogy.
The New Name for the next Vampire Diaries Trilogy is . . .
. . . The Hunters. I suppose this is because the core group will be going to college together, where they will meet new characters and find mysteries to solve, both occult and otherwise.
LJS had previously stated that the first volume in the series would be called Phantom, and now we know the titles of the following two volumes as well: Moonsong and Eternity. She also states that readers can expect Phantom to hit the shelves Summer 2011.

Those of you who have read Shadow Souls will know all about Bonnie’s opal ring. L.J. Smith has had such a ring made, and is going to be giving it away to one lucky Vampire Diaries fan.
Now you can win this version of Bonnie’s opal ring (see above). It’s made of 14 karat gold and 14 karat white gold, with one central opal and diamonds sprinkled around it. This is a gorgeous ring that sells for over $700—so pretty that I got one for myself! And if you didn’t win an autographed Shadow Souls book during the last contest–well, here’s your chance, because I’m offering ten (10) this time around as second prizes.
To find out more about the ring and how to enter the contest, head on over to L.J. Smith’s blog.
The lovely Lorraine over at the LJS Covers Resource has kindly passed on some more German book covers, a variation on the TV series-themed omnibus editions previously published.

Please don’t kill the messenger, folks – Midnight, the third and final book in L.J. Smith’s The Vampire Diaries: The Return trilogy, has a new U.S. release date on Amazon: March 15, 2011. We haven’t seen a listing on HarperCollins or HarperTeen yet, but this seems in-line with what we’ve been hearing these past few months. Hopefully Harper will follow up with confirmation soon. No cover yet, but we’re keeping an eye out. Pre-order The Return: Midnight.
Last month we blogged about Stefan’s Diaries – the new book series based on the TV series’ mythology, with input from L.J. Smith, Julie Plec, and Kevin Williamson – along with Stefan’s Diaries #1‘s release date of November 2, 2010. Well, now Amazon has been updated with release dates for the rest of the trilogy. Readers can expect Stefan’s Diaries #2 on January 4, 2011 and Stefan’s Diaries #3 on March 15, 2011. (Yep, same day as Midnight.)
