What is Meridian Reading?

Leslie Palmer, owner of Cherry’s Consignment Home Furnishings at 1524 N Meridian Road, has just finished reading The Vampire Diaries, a series by L.J. Smith.

Summary of the series:  The story centers on Elena Gilbert, a high school girl torn between two vampire brothers. The series was originally a trilogy published in 1991; a fourth book was added in 1992: Dark Reunion. Then in 2008 the author announced a spin-off trilogy titled The Vampire Diaries: The Return.

Leslie's comments:  I found this series to be cute, fun, a little romantic, and a clean read.
