the sookie stackhouse novels, vol 1-9

books: the sookie stackhouse novels volumes 1-9
author: charlaine harris
method: purchased

i bypassed the completion date on this one because there were just too many to write about each of them, and lets face it- there isn't a lot to them. i think i'm addicted to them, actually. i read all 9 of the books available in paperback over the course of the last week.
i have this thing with true blood. i don't like it, but i want it to be really good. i keep hoping for it to be better. i keep coming back (maybe because of alexander skarsgard....). i have just found it infuriating, especially lately, because they keep changing the rules. anyways i am not here to talk about true blood, only the books that inspired them. now the books were exactly what i was hoping for. they are trashy and witty. sookie is no longer a whiner but strong and independent. she doesn't take crap, and actually kicks some serious butt. bill is still kinda whiny, but she isn't totally hung up on him, instead she focuses on eric, who is so much more awesome than bill. some of the supporting characters i loved so much are absent but still i totally enjoyed them. they were fun and sexy and everything i was hoping true blood to be. its bloody and awesome. all the vampires are actually scary and there weres are real wolves not puppies. everyone is so much more raw and scary. it makes so much more sense, because vampires are not friendly or cute and they make terrible life partners. they are trashy but the best kind of trashy.
i can't wait for more!!
