Charlaine Harris’ newest novel, Dead in the Family, hits shelves Tuesday May 4!

2 May

The book series that started the phenomenon known as True Blood will have a new addition as of Tuesday.  Charlaine Harris’ most recent Sookie Stackhouse novel, Dead in the Family, will be available on May 4, 2010.

Harris has written nine books, with an additional book of short stories, that revolve around Sookie and the crew from Bon Temps. 

The books are an incredible source of escapism and if you think the HBO series is good, then you NEED to read the books as well.  The storylines, characters and details are expanded upon in enormous detail.

As my friend and I once said, the Twilight books are for teenagers, whereas the True Blood books are for adults.  Make of that what you will, but after reading the first book, you will be hooked.  I couldn’t get to each of the next books fast enough and now I’m ready to break open number 11.

Movies And Books To Keep Me Busy

25 Feb

I’ve loaded up on lots of movies and books to keep me occupied for a while.  I currently have Moon and Sorority Row in my DVD player; I’m really excited to see Moon, I’ve heard great things about it.  Sorority Row is an example of how I am not judgmental when it comes to films.  I still want to see it, even if the cast includes a girl from The Hills and an ex-Real World: San Diego cast member.  That kinda makes you want to go and rent it now, doesn’t it?

I’ve also accumulated a few books I need to get through and hopefully I will like them enough to add them to my book list.  Right now, I’m reading Chelsea Handler’s My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands.  If you haven’t checked any of her books out or watched her E! show, Chelsea Lately, you are definitely missing out.

I also have Nicholas Sparks’ The Last Song, which has been made into a movie to be released soon with Miley Cyrus.  The last book I have is Up In The Air, which is what the movie is based on.  I never got out to see it in the theater, but it hits stores March 9.

I’m way behind in my movie watching, but I’m going to try to squeeze in as many as I can before Oscar Sunday.
