I READ TWO BOOKS, YAY!!!

Ok, really just one. I listened to the other one. BUT IT COUNTS!!!!

Dead in the Family, by Charlaine Harris

I am so, so happy Bill finally found him someone, so he can stop creeping me out with his stupid Sookie devotion. I just don't like that guy for some reason.

I actually finished this book like last week and kind of forgot to update the blog since I hadn't been on here for a while. So.....I remember liking it.....and, uh.......Sookie needs to get over being married to Erik. Dude's sexy, and whether she can blame it on the blood bond or not, he has feelings for her. So he loves you, you love him, quit being all pissy about being his wife.

I hope Book 11 does something with the Erik's dad and brother thing. Otherwise, that whole story line was a waste of time.

And the ending? She falls asleep in bed with her cousins? Kinda sweet, but also kinda ewwww. I know it's family, and Charlaine's not going to have them have sex or anything, but ONE OF THEM LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE YOUR BROTHER. And you just met him. HEY YOU KILLED MY PARENTS AND YOU LOOK LIKE MY BROTHER! WEIRD! WHY YES I'LL NAP WITH YOU.


Sundays at Tiffany's, by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet

Got this on audiobook. I LOVE THIS PREMISE!!!!! Jane's imaginary friend comes back when she's all grown up, and they fall in love, and it's a funny and cute story, BUT IT HAS HOLES!!!

Hole #1 Jane's ring. You make a big deal about spending SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS on a RING!!!! And then it's never mentioned again. Were we supposed to assume she was wearing it the rest of the book? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!

Hole #2 Before Jane's mom dies she apologizes to Jane for being hard on her, but she says she was only trying to make sure Jane didn't turn out like her, she wanted Jane to be a better person than she was. UH, YEAH, DYING OLD LADY, I HAVE 5 CDS OF YOU THAT PROVE OTHERWISE. Was this just a dying lady talking out of her head? It was weird and I didn't like it. Here's my idea: instead of killing her, make her realize how much she's underestimated and bullied her daughter and then end the book on those two reforming their relationship.
