I must say I cackled out loud when Eric threw the term "eyefucking" at Bill and Alcide.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

wrod. a Bubba cameo would be amusing, one time.(I have only read two books, though. Maybe I would not think that if I read them all.)

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
Okay, now I'm understanding why you guys were so upset about what the tv series did to Calvin Norris! And the books are actually making me hate what Alan Ball did with Hot Shot even more!
I'm kind of embarrassed to say that these book bring out my inner tween. I want to run around with my Team Eric sign and write EricNSookie4EVA!!!1!!111!!! with little hearts and flowers around it. Unless there's an Alcide scene, in which case, I'll just cross out Eric's name and write in Alcide's.
And I love that there is so much less Bill in the books!
It does make me laugh that almost every single person who meets Sookie either wants to love her (have sex with her) or kill her.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
what book are you up to, Rayne?

I'm about halfway through Dead as a Doornail (book 5). Someone is shooting shifters and someone just tried to burn down Sookie's house.
These are just fun, light books that make me giggle while I read them.
If the tv show semi-follows book 4, I have high hopes for the season! By reading the books, I realized the biggest problem with the series. Not every single character needs a storyline. They need to focus on a few main characters and allow others to just be supporting characters.

I don't know, the latter seems to me like it's a natural outgrowth of being exposed to her personality for any length of time. As for the former, no clue whatsoever.

awesome, Rayne. book four remains my favorite...for obvious reasons. the last book was terrible and i'm not entirely sure what she was thinking. makes me not want to run out and buy the next one the day it comes out though.
book!Sookie is way more tolerable, Matt. i'm still not sure why AB chose to make her the way that she is in the show.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Given she is fae, I actually understand the former a whole lot. I bet she has an affect on all kinds of beings that she may not intend (and heretofore did not know about).

Honestly, I like Show!Sookie more than Book!Sookie. Yes, she is a halfwit, but at least she's a halfwit who's concerned about substantial things rather than rambling on about how her hair is done or the cute tube top she bought at a Wal-Mart clearance sale for pages on end. I can feel sympathy for someone who's stupid, but shallow vapidity is like nails on a chalkboard.

Ok, I totally understand why they wouldn't have Bubba in the show, but my inner fangirl just went SQUEEEE! at the thought of BC playing him!
