Dead Ever After - Charlaine Harris

WOW FINALLY!! I finally got my video uploaded to YouTube. This was just a complete train wreck, LOL! I think it mainly had to do with the fact that the video is quite long...about 22 to be exact and in HD (I might need to rethink that in the future...hahahha!). I know but I absolutely love (obsessed) with this series so I did have quite a bit to say about the final installment.

I just want to say (as you’ll probably see in the video) I absolutely love (and I mean like seriously not healthy) love Eric Northman. I still to this day think that Charlaine Harris should have put Eric and Sookie together but I can’t change it and well it is what it is.

Also with that being said I was absolutely shocked that I actually liked it (after finding out about the leaked ending online). I went in wanting to hate it but I’m glad I kept an open mind and it allowed me to enjoy it.

I will say this though...I do NOT like how Charlaine Harris made Eric in this book (and that’s probably why I only gave it 3 stars).

Okay without further ado....

　
　

I hope you guys will enjoy and I’ll see ya soon!!

Happy Reading,
Mindy

Technical Difficulties and YouTube

Hey everyone I just wanted to stop and make a quick note. I have started a YouTube channel. Which you can find HERE.

I just started it so there are no videos as of yet. And that is the reason for this post.

I have been for about a week or so trying to get my video uploaded with my review of the last Sookie Stackhouse book, Dead Ever After. 

I seem to be having issues with uploading first my format wasn't right and then when I did get it in the right one it took FOREVER to convert it in the editing software. 

NOW I finally got a chance to try to get it uploaded to YouTube and I started at 5pm today and as of now 12:57am it has only progressed 42%. Yep that's 7 hours and not even half way. 

I think it is because it is not only in HD but it is kinda of lengthy because I do love this series so I had a LOT to say about the ending. 

I will try again to get it uploaded but it might not be until this weekend since apparently it is going to take 12 hours or more on my laptop. 

So I hope I can get this done for you guys as soon as possible. 

So (fingers crossed) I can have it done this weekend. 

Happy Reading,
Mindy

Dead Reckoning - Charlaine Harris

Here is my review of the latest Sookie Stackhouse novel or as they are also called The Southern Vampire Mysteries!!  Also this video is about 10 minutes long...sorry I just got some video editing software and I'm still learning how to edit video but I wanted to go ahead and get this up. I am also considering maybe making a YouTube channel but don't know yet!!

Meeting Charlaine Harris!!!

OMG I just had the most fantastical night!! I got to go see Charlaine Harris at the Hernando Public Library! Me and my two sisters have been waiting for this for months and finally it came!!

I must say I was a bit star struck when I first saw her (goes to show what a huge book worm I am)!! HOLY COW that place was packed there were people packed in there it was lucky the fire marshall didn't show up and issue citations!!

Well Mrs. Harris spoke for about 15 minutes and she then did a question and answer section and I asked a question...squee!! My question was "was it always your intention to have Eric and Sookie end up together or that just progress". She said she didn't plan on it and for now they were together...all I know is I hope that was not some sort of indication that they wouldn't be together at the end of the series because all I know is that would disappoint me greatly!! She did tell us that she had signed up for 3 more Sookie books and she is almost done with the first of the three...YIPEE!!!

Alrighty here are some photos from the event:

Me and my sisters waiting for her to arrive:

Finally, me and Charlaine:

OH I KNOW, I KNOW!! I gotta get my Eclipse review up but my dad was in the hospital for almost two weeks after I saw it so I just did not have time for it! I promise I will try to do it tomorrow if I can remember!!

There Will Be Blood -- True Blood that is!!!

Based on my count ticker right here on this blog there is only 1 Day 20 Hours and 57 minutes until the season three premiere of the best show EVER.....TRUE BLOOD!!

HOT DOG!! I am sooo freaking ready it isn't even funny!! Bring on the Eric Northman please...

OH and the Sookie...

AND Jason...

FORGET Bill because well he blows!!

DUH how could I forget Eric and Sookie:

OH you wanna see the most awesomest preview yet...well here it is (hopefully it will tide you over until Sunday - and if that isn't enough Eric will be baring quite a lot in the first episode...wicky what?!?!?!)



IF that isn't enough (because we all know it isn't right?) I got my Entertainment Weekly today and it had this lovely cover:

With this spread on the inside...

And this other pic (which would be perfect without Bill, no?)

Also it is only about a month away before I get to meet Charlaine Harris the author of the Sookie Stackhouse books...I plan on personally thanking her for creating one of the hottest characters EVER...in case you haven't already guessed (I'm sure you have)...the one, the only...

ERIC NORTHMAN.....yummy (that's sexiness with a side of HOT DAMN)

Well my peeps I really must be off...oh and one more thing you're drooling... but so am I!!!

Dead in the Family - Charlaine Harris

FIRST AND FOREMOST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ SPOLIERS LEAVE NOW!!!

I have been soo pumped waiting for this book...and finally it arrived. I do admit that I was worried that I was sooo excited for the book that maybe I might have pumped it up so much that it just couldn't possibly live up to my expectations.

I have to say I'm glad I was proven wrong...although my sister would disagree, LOL!!! She says it had too much information in it although I was curious about some of the stuff mentioned and was glad to finally have an answer.

Also the most important thing of all Eric and Sookie? OH YEAH they are still together and that was sooo awesome!!! Also he tells her he loves her...alright are you ready for the best lines ever:

Eric Northman: "I hurt with you. I bled with you-not only because we are bonded, but because of the love I have for you"  (HOLY CRAP is that not the best? Yeah it is the best!)

I am also glad that maybe Bill has found someone else because he totally blows...sorry he does and Eric is just...well for lack of a better word AWESOME!!  (Also in case you haven't noticed I'm totally:

You do learn alot about the vampire "government" and how things are run. You get to meet Eric's maker and also in the end his demise (which frees Eric, YAY) You have a vengeful fairy out to get Sookie but in the end is saved by her fairy great-uncle who at the time is little bit demented but honestly cares for Sookie and her fairy cousin Claude and Sookie's brother Jason! Also my sister said it needed at least another chapter...again I disagree. I think Charlaine Harris is setting it up for the next book and it is (for me anyway) the perfect entry to the next one and in the end Eric and Sookie are still together which is soo great and all I can say is it better stay that way!! Okay they are married and bonded, okay, okay!! (wow that was a lot of okays) Anyway I loved the book and I think she did a lot building it up and now it leaves us wondering what's going to happen with Victor and Felipe. Will Eric finally kill Victor? Or will someone else off the ladder climbing scum of a vampire? Will the Weres have to register? And many more and quite frankly I cannot wait to find out!!

Also more great news Charlaine Harris is going to be at one of the local libraries here on July 12, 2010...so I will be there with bells on you can believe that!!

Rating: ****** (yeah it gets 6 because Eric is pretty much the shiznit)

If you want to read it for yourself just click here --> Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 10) and you can!!

AND if that isn't enough on May 25, 2010 I will be getting Season 2 of True Blood on DVD!! OH YEAH...even though it is currently re-running on HBO I will get to watch the rest before it re-airs on TV!! Go here --> True Blood: The Complete Second Season (HBO Series) if you want to get your own copy!!

THEN on June 13th the new season starts....SOOO EXCITED I CANNOT WAIT!!
