The Sookie Stackhouse Book Series: I.AM.HOOKED. I started Book 4 yesterday (please, please, please don't leave a comment telling me what "potentially" happens in future books!) and I think I'm on Chapter 7 alreay. I've flown through Books 1-3 and like a crackhead have gone to the library, bookstore or Kindle store at the end of each book to try and obtain the next. :) I'm reading Book 4 on my iPhone via Kindle since I couldn't find the book in the store or at the library and I needed it right away! :)
A lot of people refer to this series as the "grown up" Twilight and I guess that is mostly true although the series was written well before Twilight. I like them both equally and for different reasons.
True Blood on HBO: If you already watch True Blood then you know Season Two started a few weeks ago. Adam and I have been hooked on this show ever since we watched the first episode. Last year we watched the entire Season One in less than two days via HBO On-Demand (Comcast cable). We couldn't wait for Season Two and have trouble waiting for the next Sunday to come around!
I know most Sookie fans love Bill Compton, but I do not. I am Team Eric all the way -- especially with Alexander Skarsgard in that role. He's perfect for the role with regard to his description in the book series as far as I'm concerned. The TV series storyline differs a lot from the book series so that may bother some people, but it doesn't really matter to me.
The Hangover: Holy crap, this movie was hilarious. I don't believe I stopped laughing the entire time. I have heard the exact same review from literally everyone I know who has seen this movie. Some of the stuff was over the top, but somehow they managed to make it seem hilarious and not stupid. If you've been to Vegas you will have a few extra laughs. It really made me want to go back soon. The main cast was great and really had a comedic chemistry together. I will definitely be buying the DVD when it comes out.
Dexter: I think this might be my new (new-to-me) favorite show. The First and Second Seasons just became available via Netflix Instant (we stream through our XBox 360 and I HIGHLY recommend it!) so Adam I and started to watch it last night. We don't have Showtime, but we've long wanted to watch this series. Last night we got through episodes 1-3 and I think we're both hooked. I love anything that has to do with crime - both fiction and non-fiction - so this show is very interesting to me. I cannot wait to watch more episodes.
I'd love to hear what you are reading and watching. :) Happy Friday!
