Pure Coincidences

Vampires.
I started to become... well, addicted or fascinated about them eversince I started reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
So now, I'm reading Vampire Knight- a manga by Matsuri Hino, and I've just finished reading Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz.
There's a coincidence... an incest. Well, not exactly an incest, but the brother-to-sister pairing...
In Blue Bloods, there are the twins Jack and Mimi [who I really hate] Force bound by blood since birth. And then there's the revelation in Vampire Knight that Yuuki Cross, is actually the younger sister of Kaname Kuran and her betrothed.
Coincidence? All the vampire novels I've read [which is actually very very few] have many differences in their 'legends' or origins. But it's a cool coincidence isn't it?
Well anyway, now that I've finished reading Blue Bloods, here's my opinion on it:
There's not much romance in Blue Bloods as there is in Twilight, but the former book is still a page-turner for me. I may be a romance reader [at times. more of a fantast reader actually...] but I was drawn to the mystery behind Blue Bloods. The legend stuff on the Blue Bloods- or vampires, is so... interesting, not cliche' at all. That's why... that's why... I WANT TO BUY MASQUERADE NOW NOW NOW!
Okay, I'm acting very spoiled. Bad.
But it's true. Man, I'm spending a lot on books nowadays. I'm not even watching anime anymore! Getting too addicted to books! But that doesn't mean I don't like anime anymore... I just don't have time. Oh well, summer's drawing near. That means I have to start SAVING for anime DVDs and books.
Speaking of books, the one I bought on a booksale, Caribbean Cruisin', has been circulating for a while now... hmm...
