True Blood

I bet you are wondering why I'm writng this post about a television. Surely it has nothing to do with books and whatnot? Think again!
True Blood is actually based on the new York times bestselling series, The Sookie Stackhouse Novels also known as "The Southern Vampire Mysteries". Surprise!
Since its debut, the show has been a bit hit on the HBO channel. It's an eighteen rated so I wouldn't recommend watching it with your children. Academy award winner Anna Paquin (From Xmen) stars as the southern waitress and Stephen Moyer as bill. Paquin and Moyer married in August 2010 After dating since filming the series pilot in 2007.
It premiered on September 7, 2008. The series has received critical acclaim and won several awards, including one Golden Globe and an Emmy. The show's second 12-episode season had its premiere on June 14, 2009 and the third season on June 13, 2010. On June 21, 2010, HBO renewed True Blood for a fourth season. On August 11, 2011, HBO announced that True Blood had been renewed for a fifth season of 12 episodes to air in summer 2012.
Since the show was such a success, the book were re-released as a tie in with the show, using the actors as the covers.
I think the show is very good and has stayed rather true to the novels, even having the same words as written in the books. People over eighteen should watch it but I don't recommend it for young children as it has nudity, violence, sexual content and some bad language.

Sookie Stackhouse: Dead Until Dark

I have been wanting to read them for a while so I decided, hoping I made the right choice, to buy the first book:
"Dead Until Dark"
It turned out, I really enjoyed the book.

Set in modern day Bon Temps, Dallas, where a not so ordinary waitress at Merlottes, crazy Sookie Stackhouse, finally meets a vampire. See the thing is, vampires decided to "Come Out Of the Coffin" two years ago and in small town Bon Temps, where summer likes to stay as long as possible, there aren't many undead visitors.
Sookie isn't a normal human, not really. You see, she has this "disability" where she can read other peoples thoughts. Over time, She has managed to put up invisible walls to block out the thoughts but she lets her guard down sometimes, And boy can it get loud. Having the so called "Disability", Sookie doesn't go out much, and when she had decided to go on dates, they all ended disastrously because she knew what the filthy things the guys were thinking.
Then enters Bill, a vampire. He's tall, handsome and more than a two hundred years old. Give or take. He's mysterious and what Sookie loves best about him: she hears nothing. Not a rant or a thought or even a little peep.
As their friendship progresses, Sookie feels like she might like him more than a friend, which is potentially dangerous. Her sex crazy brother Jason (who has bedded almost every female in Bon Temps) isn't very happy but her lovely grandmother approves greatly of her vampire friend.
Elsewhere is Bon temps, women are being murdered. One thing they had in common: they were all fangbangers or vampire groupies. So When Sookie finds someone she loves dearly dead in her house, she wonders is next.


Will Sookie admit her feelings for vampire Bill? And who's the person responsible for the most murders the town had ever seen?
I know, i'm not telling :)
You better Read and find out.
