A fun, vampirey time for all!
While I sip my cherry limeade - having already nommed down a Sonic bacon cheeseburger, which was delish - let me tell you how much I love the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire series.
I love the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire series so much, the night before last I was up until 4am finishing Dead as a Doornail. I then promptly got on Facebook, added a bunch of Flair featuring Alexander Skarsgard as Eric Northman on True Blood, sent this same barrage of Flair to my friend Alison, and then wrote on her wall, “HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I LOVE ERIC LATELY?” She is used to my crazy by now.
I love the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire series so much, I just came back from buying the next two books - Definitely Dead and All Together Dead. I usually try to limit myself to buying one book at a time, in an effort to spread my money as far and thin on my toast as I can. But these books are such a good read, and I fly through them so quickly, I decided I had to have all of the ones out in paperback NOOOOW. The eighth book is out, but only in hardback.. And the paperback version comes out March 2009. Dammit. It’s going to be a long couple of months unless I go to the book store, sit down with a coffee, and just read it right then and there.
I can’t really say much about Dead as a Doornail without ruining parts of the series for people, but I will say this: In this book, Jason is pat-him-on-the-head adorably vulnerable, Bill is jealous, Eric continues to be awesome, Pam is so completely awesome I kind of want to marry her, Alcide is kind of an ass, Tara is in deep shit, lots of people get shot, and Sookie is sick of it all and needs some Midol or something for her super-action PMS. And, as a wise blogger once said, “Vampires always multiply existing crazy by like a factor of three.” She was saying it in regards to the Twilight fandom, but I think it applies here too.
