Written In Reverse At Kim the Fangirl, we love our fictional characters (Hunters, Hybrids, Vampire soulmates, etc); the sparkling, the romance, the uncomplicated lines of cheesy dialogue. However, if you didn’t already know, we also share a fondness for those impossibly slow-moving, ever so hungry creatures of the living dead. There’s been a lot of…

Random Rambling: Black Friday, Breaking Dawn, and The Host
Three Rants for the Price of One Black Friday Black Friday will be here next week. I’m guessing you already knew this, of course. But for you unfortunate fangirls overseas, this is the time of year – the day after our Thanksgiving – when Americans get up at ungodly hours of the morning, and freeze…

Dear Diary . . . I Effed Up Psst! Hey. Over here. Hi. I hope you enjoyed last week’s Story Time with Kim. As you can see, I’m not there to talk with you about the latest episode of The Vampire Diaries. I’ve been, um, detained, as it were. There’s a lot to talk about too:…
Press Play (Wednesday Edition): Ryan Adams
“It’s Only Gonna Make You Love Me More” Welcome to a very special installment of Press Play! I’m glad you could make it.

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “The Five”
Sympathy for the Devil Our story begins on a night such as this . . . Chapter 1 1110 A.D. Thunder cracks and the wind howls, as overly muscular men stand in a circle, while the witch casts her spell. Immortality, she whispers. Fire ignites; their swords become aflame. Long lines of intricately woven ink…
Book Review: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
If I am a connoisseur of anything, it is having an unpredictable attraction to stories of the spine-chilling, mysterious variety. A curious relationship, yes, but one I’ve always known. So it was without hesitance, after spying Miss Peregrine’s distinctive cover, that I went forth and removed the novel from the seller’s shelf. Hoping to find…
TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “The Rager”
Anger Management First off, I have to say, I love me some Klaus. I thought you should know that, in case I haven’t been clear on the subject. In other news, Shirtless Damon. Oops! Ahem. Sorry. I meant to ask, how was last night’s episode for you? I know, stupid question. I can see you…
Press Play Friday: Songs from the Movies – Part 2
Music Loves a Screen Music and film, a most unrivaled pair, you must admit. She is not complete without his voice, the love songs he sings. He is the melody that accompanies her, giving life to a scene. They, essentially, are the perfect couple. We’ve met them here once before (of course), not too long…

Book Review: The Night Circus
Rêveurs Kim the FanGirl’s Fortress of Solitude, October 2012 8:15 pm She opens the book and begins to read. The cold, crisp pages are clean and unmarked by time. They tell her a story, one of adventure, of passion and consequence. They call it the Circus of Dreams, for it is like nothing you have…
