Looking back at it now, it was a really solid reading year. I mean, it did its usual (for me) thing and meandered its merry way, here and there, up and down, and in fits and starts across the span of all twelve months. But it really did shape up nicely. Which is a good thing, because it was—shockingly, I know—another year in which we so desperately needed the authors and books and words of the world to come through for us. And they did, didn't they? I am, as ever, so grateful for them and their willingness to push through every barrier and battle that I know must try to keep them from putting their visions on paper. And so, as has long been my custom, I record here my list of published books that saw me through the year. Gifts, every one. (listed in the order in which I read them) The Atlas Complex by Olivie Blake Bride by Ali Hazelwood You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian Once Persuaded, Twice Shy by Melodie Edwards Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary Lips Like Sugar by Jes...
I saw an early version of the first episode, and it was pretty good. I'm not sure if I'm crazy about Anna Paquin's Sookie, she seemed a bit over-the-top to me. But maybe she'll settle in or I'll get used to it.
ReplyDeleteBill was delicious, which is just not fair because Bill is a jerk.
Haha! Alan Ball is the Man! This will definitely rock (and be gruesome, violent, and sexy). I may end up watching a lot of it alone...
ReplyDeleteJust knowing that Ball is a Sookie fan makes me smile :)
Hey, Deety! I'm happy to hear the first ep. is good. I have to say the trailer has me all tingly. And from what I can see of him, I definitely agree. Bill=hot. And I needed a longer glimpse of Eric...
ReplyDeleteHey, Mike. Yep, I'm thinking it will be the bomb. It's just so awesome and crazy that this series made it to an HBO series.
You know, I think it looks okay - watchable at least!
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking it out for sure.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing HBO picked this up. I totally want to watch it.
ReplyDeleteI know. We may have to try the first few episodes on On Demand to see what we think.
