Thanks to Iony and Vampire’s Crib for the heads up. Romanian fans can now pre-order the fourth volume in the Vampire Diaries series, “Dark Reunion” (“Reuniunea”), from Leda books. The book is due out towards the end of May, and you get a 25% discount if you pre-order now. We’re seriously feeling the Bonnie love with some of these covers of late. Awesome. Click on the image to the left to get a better look and Miss McCullough gracing the Romanian cover of “Dark Reunion”.

Romanian fans don’t have long to wait for the next book in the Vampire Diaries series to be released. Book two, The Struggle, will be released on March 1st with the title Jurnalele Vampirilor: Lupta, and Damon on the cover (click on the thumbnail to the left for a larger version).
The Struggle is available for pre-order from the publishers, LEDA, and The Awakening is already available to buy. We’ll let you know when we have news about the rest of the series. Many thanks to VDRomania for the info.
In TV series news we have a couple of videos for you. The first is of Paul Wesley talking to People about what he likes to do to get away from it all. Sorry, no embed, but you can view it over on the People website. The second video is all about Katerina Graham. She talks to Teen.com about fashion and style, from Bonnie’s look to her own, and her most memorable wardrobe malfunction. Thanks @CW_VampDiaries for the link!

The second NYLON video interview with Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley has been posted on YouTube. If you missed the first one, you can catch that here, and then look forward to the final part next week.
On the subject of video interviews with the main trio, @jayyu_jp has pointed us at another one with ITV:
Viewing figures for the UK Vampire Diaries are in, with the show getting off to a decent start with 980K viewers (that number includes the +1 figures from an hour later). Now, before people start getting alarmed by those figures, it’s worth remembering that the UK is small, and those figures are respectable over here. Also, it left Caprica trailing in its dust. ;)
In an update to yesterday’s post about “The Awakening” being published in Romania, Vampire Diaries Romania have been in touch to let us know it will be published on February 15. Not long to wait, Romanian fans.
Finally, there’s some buzz around the internet that Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek may be directing an episode of the Vampire Diaries at some point. Digital Spy reports that James and Kevin Williamson have been talking about it, and we’ll let you know if we hear anything more on the subject.

WPIX chatted with Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley during the recent Hot Topic cast stop in New Jersey. They talk about the weather, the show and fan response, people asking Ian to bite them, Nina’s thoughts on playing Katherine and Elena, wearing corsets, being evil and Valentines plans. Thanks to @MegPlatt86 for the video link!
The Vampire Diaries started airing this evening in the UK on ITV2 (sponsored by Mentos mints; understandable, as we hear the undead tend to have bad breath). If you missed it, you can catch the repeats on Friday at 8pm (this applies to future episodes, too), or you can watch them on ITV Player: Pilot and Night of the Comet. Also, don’t forget that you can purchase all of the episodes aired so far in the USA in the UK iTunes store.
Vampire Diaries Romania have let us know that “The Awakening” is to be published soon in Romania. We don’t have a date yet, but the publishers, LEDA, are taking pre-orders. You can see the cover on the right (click on it to see the larger version), and we’ll let you know when we have an actual release date.
In more international book news, we’ve had word from Iva that all of the original book series has now published in Bulgaria. “The Fury” was published back in December, and “Dark Reunion” was published earlier this month. You can read our blog post from last year if you want a reminder of the covers, and you can find out more information on each of the books over on the publisher’s website.
Finally, for a bit of fun (and in honour of the UK premiere), a video of Nina talking to My Bliss in the UK with a British accent:
