I finished the 4th book from the House of Night series, Untamed, a couple of days ago. These books keep getting better. And the immaturity of them has lessened. I'm now working on the 5th book in the series. My mind isn't at its peak yet today so this is going to be a short post. Sorry
Last summer I read the first two books in the House of Night series by PC Cast. I found both of them to be very young and much like a bad teen chick flick. I did, however, feel that the series had an interesting idea about vampires and I wanted to see what would happen if I could only ignore the fact that the characters sounded like a bunch of peppy teen cheerleaders. At the time I couldn't get past it, so I only managed to read Marked and Betrayed before giving up. Today I finished reading Chosen, the third book in the series and I do feel that the immature air to the series has diminished greatly. Which is great because I have finally become invested in the characters and plot lines. I am now beginning the fourth book, Untamed. Hopefully it will continue to get better from here and will be able to hold my interest.
Just finished reading the second book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, Living Dead in Dallas. When a book has been turned into a movie or television series, I always prefer to read the book first. In this case, I hadn't known True Blood had been based on a book series until after I started watching the show. So I am now reading the books and catching up to where the show is now so I can stay ahead of it with the books. Up until now, no matter if I saw the show/movie first or read the books first, I always favor the books. When it comes to True Blood, I think the show is more entertaining, has better plots, more complex characters and a hotter vibe to it. The books feel as though there are many holes that could have been filled in better. It feels like something is missing, like there was more Charlaine could have and should have done as the Author. They are decent stories and I am able to keep myself involved until the end but they are lacking something.
Currently, my friend Michele and I are working on a bunch of small crochet projects. We are going to sell these items at a local Relay For Life Event. I'll be posting pictures of the items I make soon.
I just finished my tenth book. I finally decided to start reading the Sookie Stackhouse series since I am obsessed with True Blood. The first book in the series is called Dead Until Dark. The writing was excellent and the plots were good. For once it seems that the TV show is much more detailed than the book which is very odd. I wish I had more to say today but my mind is not working properly. I'll post again when i finish the second book.
