I need a link to Mrs G on my blog. I love her reviews. As for LKH, remember how puffed up Anne Rice got about her writing? I'm thinking the other vampire lady has started to believe her own press. I can see her in the bathroom, calling to her husband, "No, really, come check this out. It <i>does</i> smell like roses!" Agreed. I need a link to Mrs G on my blog. I love her reviews.

Or maybe someone should write a short story that has the two character sets in a rumble fighting for the "honor" (cough - cough) of their respective authors. I can see Lestat in a catfight with Anita, can't you? thanks for the snicker with my morning coffee. “I’d like to see her go a few rounds on Celebrity Death Match

I read that entry about five times, trying to work out if she was actually claiming to have invented the genre of paranormal romance, or if she was just saying she didn't really fit into that category. In the end, I decided she was claiming to have invented it. I'd like to see her go a few rounds on Celebrity Death Match with Anne Rice. I’m so glad you posted on the LKH musings.

Wed, 13 Dec 2006 02:14:20 +0000 http://dionnegalace.com/wordpress/2006/12/12/a-ray-of-hope/#comment-4718 Yay for Eric and Sookie! I hope this does become a stable relationship. They have my vote. I am making a wild guess here but I think that is what the author Harris wants, too - I am thinking that although the prior 6 books do show Sookie as attractive to various males, that Harris is now leading us to settle down with Sookie and Eric, as the obvious well-matched couple. Even though there were many males attracted to Sookie, she only really did have sex with two of them, Bill and Eric. (She has not had sex with Alcide, Calvin, Sam, nor Quinn.) And now, as Bill's character (or lack of) has unfolded it is obvious Eric is the better choice for Sookie. Eric shows more concern for Sookie's well-being. It is Eric who gives her gravel for the driveway to fill the ruts, who gives her a new warm coat to replace the old washed out bloody one, who scolds Tara for using Sookie (and thereby endangering Sookie's life) to end Tara's bad vamp boyfriend situation, etc. Eric looks out for Sookie's well-being. And choosing Eric is not a cold mercenary choice either, such as simply 'trading up' on the vamp hierarchy, but rather choosing Eric seems to be so much more a decent choice for Sookie.

The first books did read more like a mystery because something had to be solved and Anita had to do real work. Remember that job she used ot have, that whole necromancer thing? She would talk about it and you would totally think, yeah, she has worked and the office politics are so true. But then, there was less work, and more melodrama, and now it's all about sex. Anita can't work because she is screwing so often, and rather badly. As for Charlaine, yay for Sookie. Must go pre-order now. I hope you did well on finals Bam!! I recall those days of horror, the o-chem, ochem lab, physics, and bio finals all in one week. "Shudders delicately" Just remember, this too shall pass! I have to agree with December Quinn.

It's just the last few years they've become a badly written Mary Sue pornfest filled with plot holes almost as cavernous as Anita's "womanly space" must now be. Which means they must be the size of Micah's only character trait. Which means I guess it is awfully big.
