Obsessed!!

This one's for you, Jennie. I have recently (relatively) discovered that I am obsessed with vampires. I know to some (aka Mr. Jones) this seems like a ludicrous way to spend all of your free time, however, there is nothing that I can (would like to) do about it. I have read and reread all of the books in the Twilight series so many times that I have lost count. I own all of the movies that have been released. I must say that, thanks to my bestie, I even have a couple of the magazines over which to ogle. Yet, I simply cannot quench my vamp thirst (haha) in the world of the teeny boppers. I branched out when HBO decided to make the best show in the world! I have seen every episode of every season of True Blood, and I plan to keep this up as long as they will make the show for my personal pleasure. While this is all well and good, new True Blood episodes are only available in the summer (because, quite frankly, what better way is there to spend a summer Sunday evening than lusting after beautiful actors who portray oh-so-powerful vamps with a nice fruity drink in your hand?!). I know that the most recent True Blood season is available On Demand, but what about those other seasons that I loved so much?

Now comes the part where you all become jealous of me because I have the greatest husband in the world. Despite the fact that he knows I get a little attached to the vamps with which I am having a literary affair, Mr. Wonderful gave me some of the best Christmas presents I can think of. Not only did I get Season 1 on DVD (it's just a little way to recreate those first moments when those big hunks of power and fang stepped into my life...), I also received all ten Sookie Stackhouse novels. I have spent the last week reading and reading and reading. I cannot stop myself. I take the books to school, I take them to bed, I can't put them down. I raced through the first 8. Now that I'm on nine, I've come to the realization that I'm reading at a much faster rate than my new favorite author can write. Her next book comes out in May, so I have to finish the next two books and do what I am worst at:WAIT... I must say, that's the worst when it comes to a really good (in my opinion) series. So here I sit with a conundrum on my hands: continue reading at breakneck speed just to see what happens with Sookie, Eric (OMG), and Bill, or slow myself down to a reasonable pace and finish just in time for the next one to come out in May. I guess that since I've ripped through eight books in a week, option two does sound a little far fetched, especially when Eric Northman is involved. I guess I'll just have to reread all ten in the ten days leading up to the new one. I'll let you know how it is!

Here are the first eight. Definitely worth a look in my opinion.

And here's Eric Northman. Also worth a look in my opinion. Just for you, Jennie!
