It's such a dilemma, lol. Btw your icon is very pretty!

They are lightly following the books, so some things would get spoiled, but not too much. I like knowing what may happen, kind of adds to the suspense. Especially knowing what they could do with some of the characters.

Thanks about the avatar compliment :-) Lately I've been putting hot men there.

We will just have to keep on watching True Blood to find out." Can't wait for that.

I'll go find them and post after this, putting them in order. Can't wait for him to have a nude scene, he's not shy either.

Here they are:

TrueBlood was sooo good tonight! Can't wait til next Sunday. Bill, Eric and Godric saves Sookie.

Just watched it...that was good. I love Eric. Hope he gets even more like the book Eric though.

I read all the books before I knew they were even making a show. At first I was disappointed by how different the show was from the books, but I decided while watching this season that its not a bad thing. I get lots of little surprises while still knowing some things in advance.

The next book comes out in October. I cant wait to read it.

Wow, guess it's Bill and Sookie forever. I mean Stephen and Anna. They are engaged.

There's a love triangle? Ding dang. I haven't read the books.

Are they good? I guess you guys probably think they are since you've read them all and whatnot.

I haven't been as into True Blood as much this season as I was last season but the last episode was really good so I'm hoping it picks up a bit.

I'm not really big on the books, I read the first one but I'm not crazy about the way the author writes. I might read the second one down the line at some point.

I must be the only one disappointed in the show and the books. I read the first book and just hated it. I wanted to give the show a chance because of Alan Ball and wasn't crazy about the show. I described it to OEJ as Jerry Springer with vampires. There were some good ideas but nothing fleshed out with me.

Well I guess they can't please everyone, if they did what's the fun in people then...

I enjoy the books the most then the show. They are different. I guess if you like the classics and don't want something different I can see how this would not be as enjoyable.
