If there is a TV/movie AND book version of a series I will usually ‘bond’ to the one I have seen first. I saw the first season of the HBO series True Blood before I picked up the books. However I am up to book 8 and I am LOVING them – perhaps more sothan the TV series.(Those of us Aussies well acquainted with Ryan Kwanten in his ‘Vinnie’ phase will agree that his seeming manorexia is quite a concern) And I think that is because they have gone a certain way in the TV series that they won’t be able to follow the books very closely and the books are great. I mean, they are not particularly complex or sophisticated but they are highly enjoyable and Sookie Stackhouse is a honest and realistic heroine. And I think this particularly applies to her love life. The TV series already seems to be setting up for some unrealistic romantic bull-wangle.
Anyrant. I had a lovely day – Beloved sent me a dozen roses at work to start the kiss arse process whereby he apologises for the 8 months he spent in the garage building 2 motorbikes. I also know that he has a lot more sucking up to do because in the process of building and showing of said motorbikes he has been asked to build more.
I have one word for you husband. Tiffany’s.
hmmm maybe tell him he can do the bikes when you have a bubba??? sounds like some compromises are in order ;o)
Catch-22 though….I will need him in the house with me when I have a baby not piddling about in the shed all night!

I loved all the books too! I think there is a new one that can be pre-ordered on fishpond now…must remember to do that! Have you watched series 2 yet? Get beloved to download it for you! Go Sookie!
Hey Dr B – long time no comment
For some reason Beloved doesn’t download. I think I will have to convince him otherwise. I watched the second half of season 2, episode 1 on Foxtel on Tuesday night. It is weird – now that I have read all the books I am in no rush for season 2 (that is not to say i don’t want to see it!) Sookie rocks! GYL
