I am annoyed!
I don't know about any of y'all out there, but one of my new treats this season is HBO's "True Blood." I'm not into vampires. I have never been into them, even though I've read 3 out of the 4 Twilight books (while enjoyable, I'm not fully obsessed.) Yet, this show has made me addicted. I am now so addicted that I began reading Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series (that the show is based off) this weekend. There are 8 books and since Saturday afternoon, I've read the first three. I'm hooked.
And to clue you into the type of reader I am, once I get into a book/series, I cannot put the book down. I refuse to stop reading. I will fall asleep reading. Actually, I've even stayed up over 24 hours to completely read through a book I was reading. If I'm into a story, there's no way you can drag me away from it.
I am this way with the Southern Vampire books now. I went on a hunt to 3 different stores and two different libraries to try to find books 4 and 5 so I can continue my reading. NONE HAD THE BOOKS! One store had books 6 and 7, but not 4 and 5! I'm devastated people. DEVASTATED. Ugh. I guess I'm going to have to order them online and wait for them and I don't want to wait. :(
On the bright side: Taylor Swift's new album is out! YAY! I love that chick. Sure, she's about 7 years younger than me (and probably infinitely cooler), but I freaking love her music. And she's delivered on her new album. I love "White Horse." It was on Grey's too!
I've also found another person in the Hollywood world to lust after: Alexander Skarsgard. He plays Eric on True Blood. He's not his finest on that show, thanks to the 10 lbs of white, pasty make-up to make him appear dead, but that's something I can easily overlook. Especially when he wears the black wife beaters...that just happen to show of his beautifully sculpted and muscular arms. Did I mention he's 6'4"??? And Swedish? I love tall men that have well defined muscles and broad shoulders. Those features are just so--MALE. God, I love men.
Alright, I'm off to explore the world of fan fiction with an intense focus on Sookie and Eric. Yum.
