Russian cover for The Awakening & The StruggleThe Russian covers for L.J. Smith books have earned an affectionate reputation in the fandom for often having nothing at all to do with the actual stories. So we’re actually pretty impressed at this offering for Russia’s first omnibus edition of The Awakening and The Struggle, featuring an artistic rendition of one of the images from the Love Sucks promos of the TV series. Not so sure about the Twilight font, but we’ll live. ;) Russian fans (and covers collectors) can get their paws on it here, though we’re sorry to say there still doesn’t seem to be any sign of The Fury, Dark Reunion or Nightfall having been translated yet. Thanks to Tiaria for sending us the information!

On the subject of the Vampire Diaries books, we have some new dates for you to put into your diaries for the Return Trilogy. Amazon.ca has Midnight listed with a release date of December 8, 2010 (anyone else find it appropriate that the final part of a trilogy about Damon is set for release on Ian Somerhalder’s birthday?). The site also lists Shadow Souls as having a publication date of January 27, 2010. However, the Harper website still has that listed as 16 March, 2010, so we advise caution before getting your hopes up over an earlier release date. Thanks to Marie for the heads up.

The American Red Cross has posted a few pictures (courtesy of the CW) from the Georgia Tech blood drive this past Wednesday in their Flickr. Steven R. McQueen, Kayla Ewell, Michael Trevino, and Ian Somerhalder are featured. You can click the picture to go to the set.

Media Predict thinks The Vampire Diaries will be the CW’s first major hit since Gossip Girl.

A big thank you to serenachan for letting us know that the upcoming issue of TV Guide (Selena Gomez on cover) will have a “sneak peek” at Vampire Diaries.

Reel Artsy has a brief interview with Katerina Graham in which she talks about being bi-racial in Hollywood, how she’s learned to speak several languages, and The Vampire Diaries:

There hasn’t been that many Vampire Diaries billboards and stuff like that [in Atlanta] but apparently they’re like everywhere in New York and L.A. so the cast and I…we’re all very excited…we can’t wait to see them when we get back home.

And finally, L.J. Smith has updated her blog with a progress report on Shadow Souls, Strange Fate (Night World), and Midnight, the last volume in The Return trilogy. She also had this to say:

…the TV people (sounds like the title of a horror film) have been really, really nice to me lately, sharing news and Vampire Diaries (TV) clippings and I now stand behind the show. I’m hoping that everyone will give it a chance–the first episode being the hardest to get past if you’re not a Twilight fan. Or maybe if you are. Anyway, I’m asking that people be patient with it and see if it does turn out to be adorable.

Welcome back, Ms. Smith!
