Sookie Fever!

So I am currently rereading all of the Sookie Stackhouse books in Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire Mystery series. I started reading the books after I watched the entire first season of the HBO show in one weekend. They are a really great, easy read for anyone who likes supernatural/fiction/mystery/romance stories. Harris makes Sookie's character into an everyday person you can easily relate to (apart from all the supernatural shit she deals with).



I'm fortunate enough to have HBO at my house and I am literally glued to the television every Sunday at 9pm when True Blood comes on. I'm liking this season SO much more than the last season! That Maryann tangent really went on for too long.

I've recently become obsessed with this website/tumblr account: Sookie Is Mine! The True Blood images and .gifs I find are always hilarious, but they may contain some spoilers! You've been warned.

I REALLY want one of these mugs, but I'm a broke college student and I cannot afford it. They are $32 a pop and you can find them on Etsy.com from MaidOfClay



I would have to say that Eric Northman is my favorite True Blood vamp on the show and in the books. He is absolutely sexy. He may be an asshole the majority of the time, but he never claims to be something he's not. He is unapologetically true to himself and I admire that in a person... uh I mean vampire. Plus, he genuinely cares about Sookie.

In summation, Eric Northman is a VILF.




Fics that I'm reading:
