Read a little of Gone with the Wind Wrote my review for Dead as a Doornail

Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Hariis Synopsis (from Amazon) Sookie's got just a month, before the next full moon, to find out who wants her brother dead - and to stop the fiend! Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She's a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and most people have come to terms with her telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life - but things just seem to happen to her and her friends. Now her brother Jason's eyes are starting to change: he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. She can deal with that, but her normal sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population. She afraid not just because Jason's at risk, but because his new were-brethren suspect Jason may be the shooter. Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks - unless the killer decides to find her first. The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night. Review This one surprised me a bit because it barely had vampires in it compared to the others ! At least it had a fair bit of Alcide in, who is still my favourite, and quite a lot of Sam who I grow to like more and more with each book. A little Eric too who I like to see, and not too much Bill who I'm not so fond of. It strikes me more and more that although Sookie is technically the heroine, she's barely ever works things out by herself, and i's only ever towards the end that she really seems to be the heroine. The romance in this book I find a little confusing, I mean she seem to like these guys but doesn't get her act together, and I don't understand how she can have spent years and years with no dates then after she's dated a vampire she's suddenly so popular. 3.5/5

Last weeks Glee

While on holiday read all of Dead as a Doornail and about 200 pages of Gone with the Wind

lol I do that too, I always feel a bit guilty about it though.

yeah I am too now, especially as that must mean it's the next one too come out in paperback too, and she's sure to have more out I will want to read.

Dead as a doornail (Sookie Shackhouse book 5) arrived this morning.

A Lindor chocolate...yumm yumm

That's interesting, most Harry Potter fans I know don't like Ron. I like DEATH in discworld too

I wish I'd known that when I was in a position to buy chocolate cake!

Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris Synopsis (from Amazon) Sookie comes to the rescue of a naked, amnesiac vampire - and ends up in the middle of a war between witches, werewolves and vampires! Sookie Stackhouse is a small-town cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's pretty. She does her job well. She keeps to herself - she has only a few close friends, because not everyone appreciates Sookie's gift: she can read minds. That's not exactly every man's idea of date bait - unless they're undead - vampires and the like can be tough to read. And that's just the kind of guy Sookie's been looking for. Maybe that's why, when she comes across a naked vampire on the way home from work, she doesn't just drive on by. He hasn't got a clue who he is, but Sookie has: Eric looks just as scary and sexy - and dead - as the day she met him. But now he has amnesia, he's sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie's help - because whoever took his memory now wants his life. Sookie's investigation into what's going on leads her straight into a dangerous battle between witches, vampires and werewolves. But there could be even greater danger - to Sookie's heart, because the kinder, gentler Eric is very hard to resist. The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night. Review. I liked this one, not quite as much as Club Dead, but still I liked it. Sookie retained some of her independence (although not all of it) which I liked in Club Dead. There was less of Bill, which was probably connected to Sookie's independence, and which made me realise that I actually don't like Bill, at least as a character, the books are better without him. Then there is lots of Eric, who I always enjoy reading. Him loosing his mind makes it not to good, although he still retains something of his Ericness that I can't quite put my finger on. There is Alcide too, who is my favourite character still , but not enough of him by far. I guess the one thing that is better in this book is that the story seems to get going quicker, I felt with the others I was waiting for the action to happen. I still get surprised at the adult scenes in these books. You'd think I'd have learnt to expect them by now right? 3.25/5

My sister recommended Middlesex to me ages ago but it was only when I saw it on Rory's list that I remembered, and the it turned out to be part of the 3 for 2 in Waterstones. I finished Dead to the world today and will be starting Gone with the Wind next

Bought: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell The Rotter's Club by Johnathon Coe The first 2 are on Rory's booklist. The third I have wanted to read for a while now. Wrote my review of Club Dead too

Club Dead by Charliane Harris Synopsis (from Amazon) There's only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is involved with - at least voluntarily - and that's Bill. But recently he's been a little distant - in another state distant. His sinister and sexy boss Eric has an idea where to find him, and next thing Sookie knows she's off to Jackson, Mississippi, to mingle with the underworld at Club Dead. It's a dangerous little haunt where the elusive vampire society can go to chill out and suck down some Type O - but when Sookie finally finds Bill caught in an act of serious betrayal she's not sure whether to save him, or to sharpen some stakes. The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night. Review. This has probably been my favourite Sookie Shackhouse so far, although they are still not a favourite series, enjoyable enough but nothing special. I think maybe I don't care that much about Sookie (or Bill as it comes to it), I don't hate her or anything, it's just that I'm not particularly interested in her. I prefer Eric, he might not have been the greatest guy, but I found him interesting, and more entertaining. I think what really makes this book better for me is Alcide. I like this guy, he's better than Eric, and I certainly prefer him to Bill. I hope we'll see more of him in the next books. I never seem to like the leading male in these types of books, maybe it's me, maybe they're written that way. I kind of liked how Sookie was more independent in this book too, maybe I don't really like how Bill looks after her. 3.5/5

Is Picture Perfect really not out in paperback till the Summer? I don't know if I can wait that long!

Mine was a bit like that before I joined here, I never used to usually have more than 3 books on my TBR pile, how things change! Now I usually say I'm not allowed to buy more books until my TBR pile in in the single figures! Unless there is a special reason.

Perfume

Haven't read anything today yet, but yesterday finished Club Dead and started Dead to the world. I think Club Dead is my favourite of the series so far.

How I met your Mother

lol. Yeah I remember. Welcome back!

I'm sure I would have remembered that one but I can't...is there really one I've never seen?!

I've read five, given up on 2 and have several on my wishlist.

Did you know they use a chemical that's in Coke to clean blood off the roads in America? I prefer diet too, find it more easily drinkable, not sure why.
