Seriously!

I mean come on HBO! Do you really have to be so cruel? I now have to go another whole week without my True Blood...and to top that off. Hold on...I'm getting a little Ver Clempt...give me just a second...
.
..
...
Okay...
.
..
...
I'm better now.

This is the season 3 finale...I know...I shouldn't cry. It is only a TV show...but I love it! I just hope that season 4 doesn't disappoint me in this area....

Yes...I know he is wonderful...a wonderful make-believe Viking Vampire...but he is still my favorite. I am TEAM ERIC all the way.

Total Disappointment

I love my True Blood. I do...I really really do. When it comes time for it air on Sunday nights I get all giddy inside. I can't wait to see one of my favorite adult book series come life.

Sunday August 1, 2010 was a complete and total disappointment for me.

Really...I mean REALLY Alan Ball. Have you bumped your head? Did you like stop reading the books? I mean I am quite concerned. That's why I'm asking these questions.

I know...I know...it's creative change. Well, I honestly call it CRAZY! Most of the time they will change some minor details...generally they never ever complete change the plot line. The plot line is the reason that people like me are so crazy for the book series.

I don't understand how he's going to keep the show anywhere near the books' plot line...I don't. He has definitely upset me and Mindy. That is for sure!

Then...BAM! There is Claudine...I mean what the heck?! She isn't even mentioned anytime soon! Jason and Crystal was started to early too! Don't even get me started on the whole vamp wedding between MS and LA! Totally not even correct!

Are they going to have the bombing at the vamp hotel now? Is Sookie going to save Eric's life? Are we going to get to see the amnesia Eric...I really like the amnesia Eric.

I can't believe that he hasn't played out Sookie and Alcide's relationship...this is a building block for other major points in later books.

HBO...you have totally disappointed me...I mean REALLY!

Charlaine Harris Book Signing

All I can say is WOW! This is the most famous person I have ever met. I know that may be sad...but it's true. This was also my first book signing, so I was excited and curious too. I didn't know what to expect. Josh dropped me off at the Hernando Public Library at 5. When he dropped me off, this is what I saw:

Yes...I know that I looked stupid taking a picture of a parking space...but whatev! I just thought it was so neat. They had the spider web and the picture on the sign was a coffin...very fitting to her writing style.



Josh said to me, "Are you sure you're not here too early...it doesn't start til 7. I hate for you to be there alone."



Silly...silly man. That place was PACKED! I have never seen that many people in the library before.



When I got there it may have been...10 people in the whole place. I walked around for about 5 minutes then decided I needed to find out if they were going to form a line. The lady at the desk pointed me over to the general area where she was going to be at. By that time there were at least 25 people. I took a seat by the security guard. I told him it was about to get crazy in here.



He said, "Were you at the Tunica Library last night?" I told him no and asked why.



He told me, "There was over 600 people at her signing last night."



At that point I just knew I was in trouble. It was 5:30 and they started to bring out chairs. I called Mindy, but no answer. I grab one chair and sat it down and before I could get another one they were gone! I had one seat between me and 3 very nice ladies.



I felt relieved once Mindy got there, but I only had one chair...not 2. So I asked the 3 very nice ladies if I added a chair at the end would they move down so we all could sit together. Like I said they were nice and said "sure". Shortly there after Mia got there and I felt better.



Unfortunately for Mia...she missed out on the fangs they were throwing out...it's okay...Mindy and I got some! SEE:

Okay...just so you understand...that place was crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did have to go stand in line at Square Books to buy a copy of "Sookie Stackhouse: The Complete Stories A Touch of Dead".

I had so much fun! She was great. Very open and honest and down to earth. I did find out that she was born and raised in Tunica, MS. Her mother was a Librarian at the Tunica Library. One of her cousins was at the signing. Very sweet moment...they hadn't seen each other in a while.

She did let us know that she had signed for 3 more Sookie books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! She said she didn't know if that would be the end of Sookie...she would have to wait and see once she finished the 3 books. She does know what is going to happen to Sookie...very excited to know.

This is Mia and Me waiting patiently in line for our Autographs:

I can say I was star struck! I told her that I loved her work and to keep it up. She asked how many children I have and was so nice. I sure hope she wasn't there until 11 pm.

Charlaine Harris and ME!

Charlaine Harris signing one of my books:

Again signing my book, she said she gets names for characters this way...she commented on my name....maybe there will be an Amanda in one of the next books....one can dream right?

Charlaine Harris:

Such a Wonderful Women:

Charlaine Harris and Mindy:

Charlaine Harris and Mia:

One of my signed books:

If you ask me...there were at least 500-600 people here. Unbelievable! I know that must make her feel accomplished!

Bring on the next Sookie Stackhouse book!

It lived up...

True Blood season 3 aired last night and it most definitely lived up to my expectations! I am so ready to see the new episode next week that I can hardly contain myself. I am going to try.

I loved this episode...not only because of Eric's naked backside, but because it left you wondering. All of the teaser trailers that I have watched never once let on to what actually happened.

Of course they picked up where they left off with Sookie coming out of the bathroom at the French restaurant and only seeing overturned chairs and signs of a struggle. She tried to report this as a missing person to the Bon Temps police, but they are up to their eyeballs in dead bodies and don't care about Sookie's undead boyfriend. Eric is caught in the act with the new dancer...(this is the naked backside part) as Sookie questions him as to Bill's whereabouts.

They show Tara still holding Egg's hand as they try and put him in the body bag. Arlene is giving her accounts as to what lead up to the shooting and Tara flips out. Lafayette takes Tara to Sookie's and dopes her up. Once Sookies comes home she tells Tara that Eggs came to her begging her to open up his mind and let him know what he had done under Mary Ann's control. Tara then goes nuts again and tackles Sookie. Lafayette then takes Tara to his place.

Eric calls another vampire that he has asked to bring him Bill Compton alive, but has failed. Someone else got to him first. Pam tries to talk Eric into calling the Queen to notify her of Bill going missing. Eric doesn't feel now is the time.

Jessica shows up at home to find Hoyt's roses laying at the front door. She then drags in the truck driver that she has almost drained. She tries to revive him by giving him her blood. Hoyt calls Jessica and they both agree that they miss each other and she hangs up on him. Jessica hopes that by giving the truck driver her blood and him going to ground with her it will change him. She experiences Bill calling her for the first time that night and is upset to find she didn't turn the truck driver.

Bill has been vampire napped by 4 men in his own car. The men have sliver around his neck and are draining him as they drive. They become careless and he overpowers the men wrecking the car and killing them all. Being so weak he goes to ground for the day. When he comes back the next night he stumbles on a house in the woods with only an old women living there. He feeds from her then he erases her memory and gives her money. The lady tells Bill he is in Mississippi.

Lafayette calls Tara's mom Nattie Mae to come and sit with Tara while he is at work. He doesn't trust her to be alone. Nattie Mae calls her preacher over to talk to Tara. After speaking with Tara and receiving an uncomfortable hug the preacher tells Tara goodbye. Tara tells them she going to take a shower, she locks herself in the bathroom and cuts on the shower and never gets in.

Eric gets an unexpected visit from Queen Sofie Ann and the Majesty at Fangtasia. The Majesty tells Eric that V is being sold at such a high rate that they believe that a vampire is behind it. He tells Eric and the Queen that whomever is selling the V will be punished to the full extend. After he leaves Eric lets the Queen know that the only person who know of them selling the V in now missing. The Queen is not worried and tells Eric he must sell all of his V in stock and get her the money ASAP.

Pam pays a visit to Sookie at home, to bring her, her payment from Eric. Sookie sees Pam shiver and asked her what was wrong. Pam explained that Eric was calling her and says she must check in and bolts out the door. Sookie goes to Jessica and tells her what Pam did and asked if Bill had ever done it to her before. Jessica told her she thinks that is what happened last night, she felt sick and felt a place. Sookie demands Jessica take her their. They find Bill's wrecked car and a man inside. He has a symbol on is neck that they find means werewolf.

After visiting Sookie Pam pays Lafayette a visit in the cooler at Merlotte's. She instructs him to all the V by tomorrow night. He tells her he can't and she them reminds him she can rip out his throat if she wants to. He agrees to selling the V.

At the end they show Bill surrounded by werewolves in the woods.....
