You don't have to be a fan of vampire novels... in fact they are among my least favourite books but THE HISTORIAN is my favourite book of all time. Immersive, atmospheric, enthralling...a book for book lovers and a must read. Actually I have been thinking of rereading it just to make sure its my fav of all-time. I'd love to get my hands on Kostova's The Swan Thieves to see if its as good as The Historian was.<br /><br />Sorry, I don't know the answer to your Supernatural question.<br /><br />obsessedwithbooks(at)shaw(dot)canicchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830844314164740452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-43594272079612183292009-09-17T17:20:46.191-07:002009-09-17T17:20:46.191-07:00I saw read the Historian first and no, I don't...I saw read the Historian first and no, I don't watch Supernatural!<br />Thanks<br />Sarah<br />believedreamcourage (at) gmail.comSarah Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18131072200232725157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-49360527206560865502009-09-17T17:03:58.564-07:002009-09-17T17:03:58.564-07:00such a great giveaway; thanks so much

However, as books about Dracula, vampires and the like are my favorite and The Historian is one of my favorite books, I'm going to have to recommend The Historian. I'm also a big fan of Supernatural...have watched it every week since it started. The only thing I can remember about The Historian being in an episode is that one of the characters was reading it. I only remember because, as I said, I love that book! I'm not sure what the significance is behind it being used in the show. I'm assuming it's probably a favorite book of someone attached to the show, either writers, directors, producers, or actors OR Kostova herself is a fan of Supernatural. LOL!<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the contest and for all the BBAW fun this week. I'm a new blogger and I'm really enjoying it!<br /><br />miller4plusmore(at)bellsouth(dot)netMichelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-45338290362458450842009-09-17T00:19:21.279-07:002009-09-17T00:19:21.279-07:00Well I haven't read HFS yet like most but I wo...Well I haven't read HFS yet like most but I would read alphabetically so Kostova before Niffenegger.
