Read Twilight, get addicted, see movie multiple times... See friends, tell them all about it, get them hooked... Talk about anything Twilight and Rob Pattinson for hours.... lol
A lot of you know that cycle... Well, I was on the receiving end of of the "tell your friends about it" about another Vampire series about a month ago... A cool gal by the name of Lee told me alll about the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris at the Eric Church concert last month... I had casually mentioned that she needed to read Twilight and she said that the Sookie series is much better and a lot more "adult"... She said that it was what the show "True Blood" on HBO was based on... My friend at work had told me about the TV show earlier this year (Thanks A!) :) So, I decided to check it out.... I jumped head first into ordering the entire book series and....
THAT'S WHERE I HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS... on my couch, on the bed, in the bathroom, in the car.... DEVOURING these books...
Thanks a lot Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton... (and Eric and Sam)... You make me want to keep reading... reading to smile, get mad, sigh, get intruiged and of course laugh and smile some more... and AAAAAA another vampire series to be addicted to! lol
Now don't get me wrong, I love Edward Cullen tons... But, Bill Compton.... mmmmm well, let's just say... ohhh yeah! :) Sookie is an awesome character and she is much more personable and likeable than Bella in my opinion... I just relate to her more, I guess... (But Breaking Dawn Bella is kinda cool... I actually like her in that book... in the other books, she is too whiney for my taste)
So, once you read the Sookie series, ya kinda get tempted to see what the True Blood show is all about... Well, with the help of youtube... You see that it is based on the books, but over sexified and violenceified... (I think I just made up a word... lol) Nonetheless, it kinda did what the Sex and the City show did... Took a book concept and the characters and changed a lot, but made it a cool show in it's own right (Note: I did not like the Sex in the City book at all... but I loved the show) True Blood at first didn't catch me since I did not know a lot of the backstory.. but now as I read, I am watching some clips and I like what I see... I just had to get over the sexified, violenceified stuff... lol Did I mention that many of the guys on the show are hot as well? lol and Stephen Moyer, who plays Bill, is English just like Rob Pattinson.... Is that a requirement to be a hot Vampire in the acting world nowadays? Check out this clip for Season 2 which starts in June... I am buying Season 1 on Blu-Ray soon... woo hoo Bill in High Definition... Boom Chicka Wow Wow :) hehehehe
Oh well, back to reading... Just bought the 9th book in the Sookie Stackhouse series today (it came out yesterday) but I am on book 6... I gotta see what happens with Sookie and Bill (I want them back together in the worse way! lol) :)
