Every Friday, I’m going feature a few things I think would be worth spending my hard-earned cash on. If you can think of a better name for this weekly feature, leave it in the comments. I’m suffering from Friday afternoon brain-drain and this is the best I could do.
I’ve already asked David to get me these two items for Mother’s Day and my birthday. First up is the 10th book in Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse series, Dead in the Family. I haven’t been able to find an official synopsis of it yet, but according to a blurb on Harris’ Web site, the story revolves around Sookie, Eric and Bill dealing with family issues. At any rate, I’m excited about it and can’t believe I have to wait until May to read it. Harris has posted the first chapter on her site.
Dead in the Family is the newest book in the Sookie Stackhouse series.
The other thing I’m really looking forward to getting is season 2 of True Blood (based off the Sookie books) on Blu-ray. I refuse to get HBO just to watch one show, so I have to wait until late May to see it. You can find some clips on YouTube, but not the good bits. Alan Ball does an excellent job of taking the basis of the books and then spinning original ideas off that and making a compelling show.
