First of all I hate it when I skip blogging during the week. It means I don't get any e-mails alerting me of a new comment. It makes my day very boring! Ya'lls comments about Nuts were cracking me up.

Second of all I am hooked on a new book series. Have you heard of the t.v. series True Blood? It airs on HBO. We don't get HBO, so I have never seen it. But I have heard a lot about the books that the show is based on from Mrs. Jetplane and Pink Sass. I decided to buy the first book in the series the other day at Wal-Mart. I became hooked. I love book series. I love getting immersed in the lives of the characters and it not ending after one book. (There are 9 books so far in this series.) I bought the first few in the series and then decided to check out a few from the library. As always there were already holds on several of the books, so the last one I checked out was the large print edition. It was hilariously big font. My parents need to look into large print books. (love you guys!)

I'm not quite sure I like them as much as the Twilight series, but that is probably just because I read the Twilight series first. I will be renting the first season of the show soon.
I should tell you all that I'm not some crazy girl that is obsessed with vampires and the supernatural world. Well, actually I do think about vampires and werewolves a lot. We have a few wooden stakes in the garage by my car. Every time I see them I think, "If a vampire was to attack me right now I could just grab that stake and kill him." (In these books you can kill a vampire with a wooden stake.) I might have some issues!

But, really I didn't used to like things like this. In fact I don't really enjoy Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings, but for some reason I like vampires. :)
If you like vampires you might look into the Sookie Stackhouse series. You can find the order of the books here.
I'm on the 6th Sookie Stackhouse book and loving them :)
ReplyDeleteI havent "caught" the vampire craze. I wish I would b/c I want to talk about it with all my friends, but it doesn't appel to me yet
ReplyDeleteOh.em.gee! I love TrueBlood, I can't wait for the new season to start in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if the books are the same, but a forewarning before you watch the show...
the foul language is out.of.control and so are the occassional sex scenes.
but. I LOVE IT!!!
Sounds like a good book series to read! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds good. I never jumped on the Twilight bandwagon, but I've heard those are amazing...so maybe I will suggest them for our book club.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to get into the Sookie books, but the commercials I've seen for "True Blood" look very spooky and entertaining.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get HBO either-we're not big TV people. But I may have to rent them!
I haven't read any of those series! :) I love the Patricia Cornwell "Scarpetta" books and Kathy Reichs books (both are forensic mysteries). I hate the show Bones though. Go figure. I think they "hollywood-ed" it up too much and the books are better.
ReplyDeleteI have heard talk of these books, I shoudl probably check into them. I was looking for a good book series to keep me entertained during the summer. I didn't get into Twilight, but maybe I could get into these books.
ReplyDeleteI hate when I miss a day of blogging too!
ReplyDeleteI love the Twilight series so I may have to check these out!
Oh how I wish I enjoyed (or had the time to) reading... maybe this will be like the 30 day shred and after months of reading about it on everyone's blogs, I'll just cave. LOL
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and happy Friday!!
I left you something on my blog!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
we are a lot alike! I want to read this series! I'm not a Harry or Lord person but I LOVED Twilight!!
ReplyDeleteUmm I just about fell out of my office chair laughing at your comment about knowing you could kill a vampire with the stakes in your garage. That seriously just made my week!
