Charlaine Harris Spills Some Spoilers At Comic Con

Author Charlaine Harris was honored with her very own panel at San Diego Comic Con on July 22, 2010. Thankfully, for those of us who couldn’t attend, Zap2it.com has excellent coverage of the panel over on their Comic Con blog. One of the things I love about Charlaine Harris is that she is a woman who speaks her mind, and that comes across in the panel’s transcript. Here are some of the highlights: Spoilers for Sookie Stackhouse Book 11 and more Harris says that Eric wants Sookie to become a vampire and tells her so in Book 11. He apparently feels that this is the next logical step. But according to Harris, “Sookie will never become a vampire.” She also says that Bubba will be back in Book 11. Yay, Bubba! A new anthology, Death’s Excellent Vacation, will be out on August 3 and Harris’ short story features “Sookie and [...]

TRUE BLOOD Comic Book Series Launches Today

HBO and IDW Publishing are launching the True Blood comic book series today, just in time for Comic Con. The comic book will feature True Blood characters like Sookie, Bill, Eric, Jason, Tara, Sam, Lafayette, and Jessica, but is not based on the books by Charlaine Harris. According to the press release: Beginning with issue #1, the True Blood comic series offers the same erotically-charged romance, wry humor, intriguing mystery and suspense the show has become known for. In this comic book series, Sookie and many other Bon Temps locals find themselves waiting in Merlotte’s bar for a strangely portentous raging storm to subside. Soon, they discover they’ve been trapped by an entity that feeds off of raw emotions and begins killing off the patrons one by one until his hunger is sated. For those of you heading to San Diego for this weekend’s Comic Con, look for two exclusive [...]

The Sookie Stackhouse Series – A Discussion

So I haven’t posted many book reviews in awhile, and the reason is that I decided to finish reading the Sookie Stackhouse books. I totally got addicted around book 3 and I am currently finishing up book 10 “Dead in the Family“. From my experience they just keep getting better! Anyway, I wanted to have a little discussion about the books since I just finished reading them. If you are a fan of the show True Blood, these discussion questions may contain spoilers of things to come in the series so I wouldn’t go any further if you don’t like spoilers. So anyway, I thought I’d post a few discussion questions and my answers and then people can copy/paste the questions in the comments section with their own answers. First though, let me tell you a little bit about my experience reading the Sookie Books. At first, I was on [...]

DEAD IN THE FAMILY Discussion and Spoilers

I just finished Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris and now I’m anxious to chat about the book and find out what others thought about it. I’m going to share some of my thoughts on the book and I’d love to hear what you have to say in the comments. SPOILER WARNING: This discussion is intended for readers who have finished Dead in the Family. Do not read if you don’t want to be spoiled. If you haven’t yet read Dead in the Family, read my spoiler-free review here. My thoughts on Dead in the Family: I think we can all agree that this was a very slow paced book without many huge plot developments. About halfway through I had a moment where I was like, “Wow, when is something going to happen in this book?” but then I decided to just sit back and enjoy it. So much [...]

And The Winner Is

Thanks again for everyone who participated in the poll for Eric Vs. Bill in the Sookie series. Since we added the polling feature (which didn’t allow people to vote twice) we were able to get an indisputable answer in the question of Eric vs. Bill? And the winner is…Eric with a whopping 84%!! I have to tip my hands to all you Eric fans out there. You are loyal followers and really banded together to bring in the votes. Bill fans did a nice job as well. At one point there was only 8% going for Bill, so the fact that you guys ended up with 16% is a testament to all your efforts! Does anybody have another poll you’d like to see? If so, let me know and we’ll set it up!

LIVING DEAD IN DALLAS Book Review

LIVING DEAD IN DALLAS by Charlaine Harris (2 1/2 out of 5 Stars) Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris Release Date: March 26, 2002 Publisher: Ace Books Pages: 291 Buy on Amazon In the second book of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse series, Living Dead in Dallas, Sookie finds herself getting more and more involved in the vamps’ world. Was it Michael Corleone who said, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in?” That should be Sookie’s motto because even though she knows better than to get mixed up with vampires, she always seems to anyway. This time it’s after she’s attacked by a maenad that she ends up owing Eric a favor. He wants her to go to Dallas to find out who’s been kidnapping vampires. The prime suspect is the Fellowship of the Sun, a sketchy group that masquerades as a religious organization. Sookie [...]

Eric Northman Vs Aro

So last week I asked who everyone’s favorite vampire crush was between Eric Northman (of the Sookie Stackhouse series) and Edward Cullen (of Twilight). I’m sorry to say for all you Twilight fans out there that it wasn’t even close. Eric won by a landslide. So this week, I’ve come up with a new question. In a fight between Eric Northman vs Aro (leader of the Volturi in Twilight), who do you think would win? Here are a few stats if you need help making up your mind: Aro Location: Volterra, Italy Age: 3,000+ Skills: Can read minds of anyone he’s touched Pros/Cons: Although Aro is old, strong and cunning, he might be out of practice in a fight. As leader of the Volturi, there are plenty of people he can order to do his dirty work for him so he may need a refresher in vampire to vampire combat. [...]

Edward Cullen Vs Eric Northman – Who Would You Sink Your Teeth Into?

Two of the most crushed on vampires as of late would have to be Edward Cullen (from the Twilight series) and Eric Northman (from the Sookie Stackhouse novels). So, who would you sink your teeth into? Here is a profile on each character if you need help making up your mind: Edward Cullen Height: 6’2 Hair: Bronze Eyes: Topaz (or black if he needs to hunt) Age: 104 Pros: Besides being a perfect 10 in the looks department, he’s also great at piano, can read minds, can function during the day, and has a sweet car collection. Cons: Lives with his mother (and other family members), can read minds, will always be in high-school. Eric Northman Height: 6’5 Hair: Blond Eyes: Blue Age: 1,000+ Pros: Also easy on the eyes, Eric has many things going for him that make worthy of a crush. For starters, he’s the most powerful vamp [...]
