Guilty Pleasure?
Well, I decided to sit down and read the Southern Vampire Mysteries (or the Sookie Stackhouse Novels – whichever you prefer). Normally, I don’t really care to read the books that a t.v. show or movie was based off of. I’m a bit lazy like that, and I spend more of my time watching my entertainment than I do reading it. If I ever care to share my list of favorite books, you’ll notice that it’s not very large and it’s missing some of the more popular novels (that I have never cared to try reading). I guess…I’m more of a visual person.
But, as I said, I started reading the books that True Blood was based off of. Someone mentioned to me that Jason wasn’t nearly as stupid in the books as he is on the show so I just had to see for myself. I really don’t care for Jason at all when it comes to True Blood; however, he’s not so bad in the novels. My opinion of Godric also changes, but I really prefer the t.v. drama version! AH! I won’t spoil anything, I promise!
…I only mention this because I think I’ve become slightly addicted to it. 
On Friday night I told my best friend that once I finish reading book three – Club Dead – I’d be going to sleep. I stopped reading when I was half way through book four, Dead to the World. 
I really think I need to take a little break from the books, otherwise… Well, I won’t stop until I’m finished!
Personally, I don’t think they’re fantastic, but they’re still entertaining. I’m reading through them with a guilty addiction – almost the way I absorbed The Dresden Files after I read the second book (which was actually the first book of the series that I read). Hm… LOL, it’s not fair to put the two in the same category. They’re both entertaining, but The Dresden Files are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Oh, btw. I ended up not sleeping until 10PM Saturday night.
