I’m still catching up on older episodes of True Blood since I don’t have HBO (Thank you for streaming video Netflix!) but I’ve already become a fan. I love the Sookie Stackhouse books so I knew I would like the show. It definitely deviates from the books but sometimes that’s a good thing. I love the characters and the writers have done a great job with the casting.

I stumbled across the up and coming official True Blood Fan Club website. It’s still a work in progress but they’ve got a great banner up so far. I would like to see them add an about section for each of the characters on the show. It would also be great if they did interviews with the cast, and maybe sneak peaks of future episodes. A must have would be a photo gallery of all of that delicious man candy that is the main appeal of the show.

Some extras that would be fun for the site would be a forum for fans, where fans could post about their favorite episodes, or where they think the storyline should go or just chat with other fans. The site could also have quizzes, such as “Which True Blood Character Are You?” or other fun things like that.

I’m looking forward to checking back in with the fan club website and seeing what they come up with!

I just started reading the Sookie Stackhouse series. These are the books that sparked the True Blood series and they are yet another vampire series so of course I had to read them. I’m still a bit up in the air on this series. They are a very quick read
(I’m already on to Club Dead), and the author writes Sookie as sort of a wise cracking southern belle. She’s telepathic which is pretty cool. I like her more than the ever complaining Miss Bella from the Twilight Series. I think what I don’t like is that in this series, the vampires are all kind of perverted and not all that great. In a way, the books are a lot more realistic because the vampires aren’t these perfect, shiny creatures who smell great all the time. While I don’t think I’ll be buying this series as mothers day gifts like I did the Twilight series for my mom, I do think I will finish the series and see what happens to the quirky Miss Stackhouse and her very odd world. I’ll give this one a B because it’s interesting, but the grammar and writing abilities of the author Charlaine Harris a C-.
