Oops. I was out all day on Saturday and was too exhausted yesterday to get in front of the computer.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; I&#8217;ve actually been reading books! Last year was a total fail in that area but I&#8217;m off to a good start this year. YAY. One of the books I&#8217;ve read is <i>Dead Until Dark<\/i> by Charlaine Harris. It&#8217;s the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I wasn&#8217;t sure if I&#8217;d like this book (I favor light! and happy! type books) but I really, really did. I thought it was a satisfying combination of vampire fantasy, romance, humor (Bubba!) and suspense. Sookie is a slightly ditzy but engaging and spunky main character and she&#8217;s surrounded by a colorful cast of Southerners (including vampires) in Bon Temps. There&#8217;s one central plot in this book that drives the story forward and keeps you guessing until the end (at least it did for me&#8230; or maybe I just didn&#8217;t catch any of the clues). If you&#8217;re looking for a quick and easy read, I highly recommend this book. I received the first 3 books as a gift so I&#8217;m excited to get started on the second one.<\/p>\n<p>This book also makes me want to check out <i>True Blood<\/i> again. I watched the first 2 or 3 (?) episodes a year ago at a friend&#8217;s house but since I didn&#8217;t have HBO, I never finished the first season. Still don&#8217;t but maybe I&#8217;ll rent the DVDs when I have time&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 13 \u2014 A Fictional Book I missed a couple days. Oops.
