True Blood Show Review 8.16.10

Well seeing as we all needed a good rant after last week's episode, I thought why not do it again :)

Here are my thought's on last night's episode:

1) Tara is getting some form of therapy - hallelujah! She definitely has some issues to work through and I'm glad that she's getting help because her attitude is preventing her from being a good friend to others.

2) I effing knew it...I knew Franklin wasn't dead! That's what happens when you use a mace and not an ax - duhhhh!!! At least Jason took care of business this time. Thank you wooden bullets, lol. The explosion of cherry jello tells me that he's gone for good this time.

3) Can someone, anyone please tell me why the hell HBO decided to introduce Hunter (Hadley's son) now? Seriously!! We don't meet him until book 8. You hear that HBO...BOOK EIGHT!!! And it's not Hadley who introduces him to Sookie. Grrrrr - this one really ticked me off! What is the purpose of all that?!

4) Well, I guess Bill and Sookie are still together. Not too sure how I feel about this!

5) Sam lost his cool and it was totally called for! Go Sam Go!! He seems to be the voice of reason most of the time and even he needs to let off a little steam from time to time.

6) There's something about Summer (Hoyt's new girl) that I find really creepy. She's too sugary sweet and I hope Hoyt and Jess can reconcile. Maybe there's still hope :)

7) I like where the plot is going with Eric, Pam, Russell, and the authority. That's big 'ol mess!! I think this could get really interesting. I kind of liked Russell at first, but now he seems almost as batty as Franklin. It's pretty gross that he cuddled with Talbot's innards and now he's flying around with them in a jar, wow! But at least the "Authority's" rep (forgetting her name now) saw that Eric was telling the truth about Russell. Who's scurred now? lol

I think I've covered everything. "And now for the weather. Tiffany?"

What did you guys think?

Cover Art: Entice by Carrie Jones

Entice
Book # 3 in the Need Series
by Carrie Jones

Scheduled to be released on December 7, 2010 by Bloomsbury [per Goodreads].

Synopsis:
Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that’s not quite how things have worked out. For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he’s been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it’s taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla? And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there’s that other small problem: Zara’s been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn’t just turned… She’s Astley’s queen.

Ooh la la, another fabulous cover to add to my shelf *yessss!*
I hope they can save Nick!

Blog Hop & Follow

Happy Friday the 13th!!
{dun-dun-duuuunnnn}



It's time for The Blogger Hop and Follow Friday again. The Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy-for-Books and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee's View. They created these memes to give bloggers and readers a chance to network, support each other and find new blogs to read & enjoy.

ANSWER TO TODAY'S QUESTION:
I don't think we can even begin to tell you about how many books we have on our TBR. Isalys has 60+ books on her Billy that she's vowed to read most of before the end of the year. However, she has hundreds on her TBR list on GOODREADS. Vanessa has tons of books at home which she's working her way through, but has an ever-growing list on her GOODREADS as well. Her goal is to read as many YA books as possible before the end of the year as well.

You can check out our progress in our CHALLENGE YOURSELF challenge.

Bottom line is we have wayyy too many books on our TBR - but we wouldn't have it any other way =)

Cover Art: My Soul To Steal by Rachel Vincent

My Soul To Steal
Book # 4 in the Soul Screamers Series
by Rachel Vincent

Scheduled to be released on January 1, 2011 by Harlequin Teen[per Goodreads].

Synopsis:
YOU WANT MY SOUL AND MY BOYFRIEND?

Trying to work things out with Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can’t just pretend nothing happened. But “complicated” doesn’t even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.

See, Sabine isn’t just an ordinary girl. She’s a mara, the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people’s fears—and craft them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she survives.

And Sabine isn’t above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants.

I DON’T THINK SO.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how excited am I about this book? Eeek, about a 12 *muahahah* Next to Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, this is my other favorite YA series!! I was excited about this book before, but now after seeing the GORGEOUS cover art and the "hell to the naw" synopsis, I am foaming at the mouth for it!!

The cover art is just perfect. I love the design and since this time around, they used my very favorite color...I am in loveeee ♥

I seriously might burst here!
{Anyone have a paperbag handy?}
