The writers are fantastic! I just finished watching "Frenzy" and could not stop laughing. This show truly gets better with each episode. My favorite lines are always from bubble head Jason Stackhouse. He tells Sam and Andy that in order to save the town, you'll have to destroy it. He says that's from the Bible...or the Constitution.
I also enjoyed the scenes with Sophia Anne, the LA vampire queen. REW was a great choice for the role because she really brings this character to life. She wears the title Queen Bitch really well. I just hope her storyline is expanded a little because it will bring more drama to the Bill/Sookie/Eric triangle. I can't wait until it gets really messy.
I really didn't like the actor that plays Eric, to me he didn't fit the part. In season one, he looked lanky, not sexy. I'm not sure what they have done, but AS is popping sexy and making us forget any descriptions that Ms. Harris gave us in the books.
Bill is still a pasty old hot mess. SM is still not a good choice for the role. If they seriously wanted people to fall in love with him, they should have gotten someone like Johnny Depp. JD has had the dark and dangerous look down pat for years and gets better with time. SM does not and will not.
Can't wait for the season finale-wait, yes I can. There is only one more episode left and if I'm not mistaken, it won't be this Sunday, but in two weeks. Why oh why do they make us wait? Then we'll have to wait until Summer 2010 to find out what happens. Life is so unfair...

True Blood Episode 9
OMG! If you have never seen this show, you are seriously missing out on some good entertainment. True Blood is way better than the Sookie Stackhouse novels. Don't get me wrong, I love Charlaine Harris and all the books, but Alan Ball is taking Sookie to a whole new high.
Last night, in episode 9, one of the Fellowship of the Sun soldier blows up Godric's house. Surprisingly only minor characters are killed but others are hurt. Bill finds Eric lying on top of Sookie shielding her from being hit by flying metal. Bill, being the dumb ass that he is, leaves Sookie alone with Eric to go after soldiers that are fleeing the scene. I see two things wrong with that. One, he doesn't think enough of his girlfriend to stay and comfort her through this terrifying ordeal. Two, he knows that Eric wants Sookie and will do whatever necessary to get her but he's leaving her alone with him and they are both bleeding. On that note, Eric tricks Sookie into literally sucking on his wounds. He tells her he's dying so she does it. Bill catches her and is pissed but Eric is smiling. By doing this, Sookie swallows his blood and has forms their famous blood bond. Now, anyone who is up on vampires knows that if a vampire forms a blood bond with a human, that human is pretty much screwed. Eric can now tell sense her emotions and tell where she is at all times. The Sookie/Eric saga has just begun and anyone who has read the books knows that the best is yet to come.
Godric, who is Eric's maker, has decided that he will meet the sun no matter how Eric feels about it. He's a two thousand year old vampire and says that now he knows that it is wrong for vampires to exist and is not afraid to end it. He's been alive to long and just wants to end it all. Eric begs him not to and even kneels at his feet and cries like a baby. Eric tells Godric that he will either die with him or keep him alive against his will. As his maker, Godric commands Eric to leave him to his destiny. Sookie decides that she wants to be there with Godric so he doesn't have to be alone. He asks her to take care of Eric. She says that she doesn't know about that because she's with Bill, but we all know how that's gonna play out.
In the meantime, Mary Anne is wrecking havoc on Bon Temps. She's still after Sam, running Tara and Eggs relationship, and taking over Sookie's house with wild orgies. I am still mad as hell that Tara's ass had no where to live and Sookie invited her into her home and she in turn let Mary Anne take over the house and have wild parties there? WTH? This is why hot mess friends and relatives should not be allowed to stay with you, especially when you're out of town. Sookie should kick her ass to the curb when she gets home. Tara has been a loud mouth hot mess since day one. Lafayette, her cousin, is also a hot mess but after his little scare with Eric, he's trying to get his shit together. He even told Tara that he didn't have the energy to deal with her mess. Despite that, Lafayette and Tara's mom Lettie Mae go over to Sookie's house and drag Tara out. We'll see how this plays out.
Anyway, there are only three more episodes in season 2. These last three are gonna be super good. Lorena's gotta come back to kidnap Bill so Sookie can rescue him. Eric gets to get closer to Sookie in Bill's absence and we meet the Queen of Louisiana. I can't wait...

True Blood...Can't Wait Until Sunday!
I started reading The Sookie Stackhouse Novels after I saw the first season of True Blood. I caught it on HBO Demand after the season had ended so I didn't have to wait each week to find out what was going on. I watched it back to back for 3 days and was hooked.
After I watched the first season, I went out and bought all the books and read them back to back. Charlaine Harris is a wonderful writer who knows how to captivate her readers. I laughed and cried right along with the characters.
At first, I wondered why Alan Ball didn't follow the exact story but now I am so glad. The extra plots leave you wishing everyday was Sunday. This past Sunday was no different. And just for the record, I am so TEAM ERIC... I can't wait until Bill gets his walking papers.

J R Ward News
While we just can't get enough of The Black Dagger Brotherhood, The Warden is going to make us wait. Judging by the way Lover Avenged left off, it will be so worth it. Lover Mine, the 8th book in the series, will be released in April 2010. This will be the much anticipated story of John Matthew and Xhex. It is also suppose to give us some back story of a young Wrath. Rumor has it that Blay will get his freak on. I've been visiting the Yahoo Group and The Message Board for tidbits. As soon as more details unfold I'll let you know. The Warden has promised us a sneak peak in her new book, Covet, due out in October 2009. I will not be preordering it and paying shipping nor will I be waiting beside my mailbox to get my hands on it either. I will need it ASAP as soon as it hits the shelves. You will find me posted up at either Barnes and Noble or Books-A-Million.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I started this blog because I like to read. In this blog I will be reviewing books that I have read. I will also keep a list of books I want to read and would love to hear comments if anyone has already read it. I love a good book but hate to spend money on one that's not. Most books that I read are paranormal romance simply because I love fantasy. I love the mystic of vampires, werewolves, and stuff like that. I love the romance and the hot alpha males. Right now, I'm reading Dead After Dark by Sherrilyn Kenyon, J R Ward, Susan Squires, and Dianna Love. I picked this up because I love anything written by J R Ward. I'll let you know who it goes...
