So, I said like a month or so ago that I'd read the nine published books from the Southern Vampire Mysteries a.k.a the story base for True Blood; and I also said I was going to write about them.  I never write about books I read, well, never more than a couple of lines, but you see what happens when you just don't wanna go to bed at due time and stay late?

Oh yes, I needed some light reading, believe me.

So, this is what happens:

First, a few things to start with:
o I can totally picture the book characters with the faces of the TV ones.
o I’ve found myself drawn into the stories and have enjoyed them big time.
o I’ve rolled my eyes over some sex scenes. I’ve found some of them dull and non creative, others non necessary; most of the ones btw Sookie and Eric, really yummy.
o I’ve liked how the names of all the books have the word “dead” in them.
o The stories are very entertaining.
o Yes, they’re not written in a Nobel Prize kind of way, but that’s what I think makes the books so appealing: anybody can read them and relate to the way the characters speak.

Now, as for what I think of the books…well…you’ll have to read under the cut.
