Sookie Stackhouse - my alter ego

Have a fun and safe one everyone!

YAY HALLOWEEN!

I totally confess that this is a completely gratuitous post, but who can blame me… really? If you’ve watched True Blood on HBO or read the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris, you know what I’m talking about! AAAAAAAAAAhhhhh!! Can’t stop dreaming of Eric!

Eric Northman

Season 3, you can’t come soon enough!!

So why Eric?  Because he’s the ultimate bad boy – selfish, brazen, nonchalant, mischeivous, and oh so garsh darn SEX-AY!!

Eric Northman, bad boy.

If y’all have read the books as well as watched True Blood, you know that they are reeeeally different in some aspects – Eric being one of them.  We get to see some of his weaknesses early on in the HBO series, while in the books it takes a bit longer.

Oh, but don’t we love the anguished Eric?!

Eric and Godric

I would just like to thank Alexander Skarsgaard for bringing life (ha! or death, rather) to one of my favorite characters.  He is exactly how I pictured Eric.

Alexander Skarsgaard as Eric

Thus ends my Eric tribute for now.  I’m sure there will be more!

More Eric Northman

Help!  Can’t stop posting pics!!

More Eric Northman

Eric and Sookie

Ok, last one I swear!  For now, at least! HA!

True Blood: Season 3

My favorite is still the VILF poster – see it here:  http://www.loveofvampires.com/2010/true-blood-promos/ – but this new one is up there!

June can’t come soon enough.  Warm nights, True Blood and hot blood!

From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris

Sookie is back in Bon Temps from the Vampire Summit – where a horrible explosion nearly killed all of our beloved characters.

But, her on-again-off-again (lets hope he stays gone! ok ok, he’s not that bad…) boyfriend/weretiger Quinn is MIA.

But, that’s not the only thing Sookie has to worry about.  She has a stronger blood-bond with Eric now (oh darn…), she finds herself pulled into more vampire affairs while the King of Nevada tries to take over while the Queen of Louisiana is injured.  All the while being dragged into the middle of the warring were tribes.  What is a girl to do?  Oh right, bring us all our beers.

Sookie

So, I found that this book started to pull in a slightly different direction with the introduction of Sookie’s great-grandfather and Sookie’s discovery of some details about her family tree.  I’m thinking that I like the direction, but it I can see that the story could stray.  I really don’t think it will, I have faith in Charlaine Harris and her wonderful creation of this world only slightly different than our own.  Ok, maybe “slightly” is a bit of a soft word to use!

Although I wished for a bit more vampire story lines (hey you can’t take the vampire love out of the lady!!), the story definitely adds to the overall series and, again, I can’t wait to read the next one.

DAYAM!

True Blood: Season 3

They really are killing me with these teasers!  I love them.

All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris

Now, this probably has something to do with the fact that this has been the one book since the first book, Dead Until Dark, that has almost it’s entire focus on vampires.

Sookie accompanies the Queen of Louisiana to the US Vampire Summit on the shores of Lake Michigan so she can use her powers of telepathy to help keep the queen safe. The Queen has been accused of killing her vampire husband and must stand trial at the summit. And of course the summit is attended by most of the high ranking vampires in the US.

This book is stock full of danger, not only because Sookie is surrounded by vampires, but the vampires themselves seem to be in danger by the fanatical group, The Fellowship of the Sun. Sookie has some juicy encounters with her ex-boyfriend, Bill (le sigh, Sookie you’re crazy!) and Eric (le double sigh!!!) all the while learning more about Quinn, the weretiger she has been involved with. I love the story that has developed and is still growing between Sookie and Eric. Nuff said!

Vampire Eric Northman

The mystery in this book is good, the story has good pace from the very beginning, and when the end of the book starts approaching I felt on edge and breathing harder! And it wasn’t just from Eric! (or was it…?)

I really don’t know what I’m going to do when I finish reading this series. Cry? (ha!) No, I’ll probably read it again and watch True Blood over and over. Or get addicted to yet another great vampire series! But this one, The Sookie Stackhouse Series, is my favorite at the moment.

Vampire Bill drinking Tru Blood

I was poking around the HBO store and found that you can get Tru Blood, just like in the series.  I only wish it were the real thing and it was being served by me to say… Bill or Eric.   Then again I could just tilt my head a bit and lean in… but I digress.

Tru Blood

So great!  You can buy these at HBO.com along with other items from the True Blood series.

Bon appetit!

I just found this site with a trailer for a True Blood porn parody.  It is hysterical!  Look for the wig.  You will know which one I mean!  HA!

Waiting SUCKS!

True Blood: Season 3

I love this one too…

True Blood: Season 3

Dead As A Doornail by Charlaine Harris

All I needed from this book was more vampires!  Ok, ok, at least there was a vampire pirate bartender in this one!

Along with the fact that  Sookie’s Were-friend, Alcide, needs her help and support during his father’s bid to be the new packmaster, she has to try and figure out who is shooting and trying to kill her and all the weres/shifters, who tried to burn her house down and yes, who will be her next love interest!

Although the story and the mystery in this particular book was great, I thought that the conclusion of the actual mystery came out rather abrupt.  I remember reading just a few passages in the chapter and thinking – oh, ok, that’s all, huh?  And then happily finished the book.

Yes, I think the resolution of the mystery could have been a bit better – and I definitely wanted more vampire action – but this lovely development in the series definitely did not disappoint!  I am having so much fun with this series!
