Remember when we were giving out Crissy Calhoun’s new book? Well the winners have been picked and we want to share them with you. Two winners were chosen and here they are:
Winner: Trixee
Tagline : Lost Souls
This refers to Stefan becoming lost in his hunger for blood. It also refers to Vicki and Anna contacting Jeremy from behind the veil. I’m a huge Elijah fan so it makes me think of the original family – they too are lost in darkness, having been staked and hidden by Klaus. Finally it could be applied to Damon who needs to find his own purpose and maybe by helping his brother he can recover his own soul.
Winner: Eli
Tagline: Original Sin
This is play on words in many ways. Stefan the Rippah, his original sin in becoming a vampire and taking it to the extreme. Also, we are going to get introduced to the other originals and the “original sin” that happened within that family. Lastly, Elena’s love for Stefan and now Damon, is this an original sin or history repeating? The lists could continue and apply to Bonnie and Jeremy,Katherine and whoever, and lastly and not be overlooked, Caroline, Matt and Tyler. Romeo and Juliet in a love triangle much?
Congrats to the winners! Your prize will be heading your way soon. And a big thanks to Crissy Calhoun for allowing us to have the contest. Everyone get your copy of Love You To Death Season 2 soon!

Our dear friend Crissy Calhoun has written another great TVD book! (I literally jumped out of my chair this morning when I received my book. It’s so pretty!) There is a Love You To Death companion guide for season 2 of The Vampire Diaries and she’s been gracious enough to give us two copies to give away in a contest. We had a whole podcast thing set up for the giveaway but we had some audio problems this past week, so we have to change it up a bit.
A little background on the book:
Love You To Death takes you back through all the episodes of season 2 and breaks down every aspect of the episode. If you missed it, Crissy caught it and if you forgot it this is her way of reminding you! The format of the book is just the same as the previous book which makes it a great reference tool for our favorite vampire series.
Why you’re going to love the book:
1. Crissy really knows what she’s talking about. She pours over the episodes and catches everything.
2. The organization of the book makes it where you can watch an episode and read the corresponding episode guide. So it’s a great reference book.
3. All the side information! There are beginning chapters, sidebars and inserts in the book that give you even more insight into episode titles, characters, scenes and whatever else might catch your fancy in the show. And she even amazes you with her book knowledge and how it relates to the television series.
4. I might be a little biased because my relationship with Crissy started before TVD came on air with Gossip Girl, but she’s just fun to talk to and that translates into her book. She’s always open to talk and just a really great person. Follow her on twitter or visit her site. Plus she writes for THE best TVD site out there.
Here’s how you can win:
We’re going to make you work for this one. Even though season 3 of TVD hasn’t started yet, there are tons of spoilers, promos, and promo pictures. So we want to know what your tagline would be for the upcoming season of TVD. Let’s get creative! The Bite On This gang will choose two of the best and those two people will win a copy of the book. It’s easy and fun at the same time.
Leave you answer in the comments and don’t forget to provide your e-mail address when filling out the comment form. If there’s no e-mail address then you can’t win.
Contest is open to residents of the US and Canada. The contest is open to EVERY ONE. Contest will end September 2, 2011 at 11:59 pm EST.

Crissy Calhoun has written an amazing book about The Vampire Diaries. Everything you ever wanted to know about the show is in this book. If you call yourself a Vampire Diaries fan you must have this book. The book provides a lot of information including those “hidden gems” you may not have picked up on when you watched the show. Listen to our interview with her as she explains the book; you won’t be disappointed.
Go deep into the heart of Mystic Falls with this episode-by-episode look at the first season of The Vampire Diaries.
Premiering in the thick of the vampire craze, The Vampire Diaries has proven itself to be much more than yet another addition to the overpopulated, undead pop-culture racket. Its mix of romance, horror, drama, and humor has won it great ratings for The CW, international acclaim, and a growing and devoted fan base.
Love You to Death: The Unofficial Companion to The Vampire Diaries is the essential guide to the show, featuring:
* the story of L.J. Smith who first introduced Elena and the Salvatore brothers in her bestselling book series;
* background on Kevin Williamson (Dawson’s Creek, Scream) and Julie Plec (Kyle XY), the masterminds behind the adaptation from page to screen;
* biographies of the actors who bring Mystic Falls’ residents to life (. . . or afterlife);
* insightful explorations of each episode with information on the rich history, supernatural mythology, film references, character development, and much more; and
* exclusive interviews with TVDers, like the much-loved Malese Jow (Anna) and the fandom’s fearless leaders.
With photos of the irresistible cast and of the show’s filming locations, Love You to Death captures the fun, fangs, and fear that make The Vampire Diaries so epic.
Crissy and ECW Press were nice enough to give us two copies to as prizes for our listeners. All you have to do is listen to the podcast, fill out the form below and that’s it. This contest is open for residents of the United States and Canada only. Two winners with the correct answer will be picked at random. No duplicate entries please. The contest ends August 30, 2010 at 11:59pm CST.
Contest is now closed. Congrats to our winners!
