the Lurker Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 i've decided to rewatch True Blood to fill in the time whilst i'm waiting for Dead and Gone to arrive (oops, there's another small dent in my bank aco"Ooops, word censored!" ) and i've just watched episode one and already started noticing little hints being left here n there, for instance, the baseball cap Jason is wearing when talking to Sookie in her front garden about 1/2 way through although there was one thing that got me pondering, at the very beginning of the episode hurricane Katrina is mentioned, so what are they going to do when they get to the point where it happens in the books?! can't think of an easy way around it, without them completely demolishing the plot, which would not be good at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchens Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi all I'm still here!! Still chugging away at book 8! Book 9 has arrived!! Also ordered the short stories too (at same time!!).

kitchens Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 As far as Charles was concerned, I just had Jonny Depp a la Jack Sparrow in my head, for no reason other than he was a pirate in Pirates of the Carribbean!! Silly I know but it just stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A True Blood Party!! However, one problem .... Sookie is a size 8 and I am a 14! But I've got until August to lose some weight if i'm going to fit into some black shorts and i'd better get myself some black Nikes too!! DH will have to go as bill as he's not tall enough to pass as Eric (shame!!) Genius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm on my second read through now and beginning to spot possible errors! Most have been mine, but did anyone else notice Claudine referred to as Claudia during the Were packs leadership battle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchens Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I think there are quite a few mistakes. I keep re-reading bits and I think - nope thats not me being thick - it's Charlaine!! Must admit too when the story gets a bit twisty and turney I get confused!! I'm sure some of it gets lost in the translation i.e. southern American. The continuity is not good either - like you say the trainers change! You'd think that she'd have 'people' to do that for her - at least her Editor!!

Griffin Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 And why have one character called Alcide and another called Alcee?????? That's just dull and unimaginative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitchens Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I wonder if The Book People books are seconds? I have wondered as I've been reading. Agree Griff re Alcide and Alcee. Happy to proof read next book for Ms Harris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 hmmmm I dont know if they would be allowed to be sold without not mentioning them being seconds if they were. good point but I think the proof reader is just pants... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 So is Jason's truck decorated with pink and turquoise flames, or pink and aqua swirls? Is it just me, or does anyone else think Jason would be more likely to have hot red and yellow flames rather than pink and aqua/turquoise swirls? Am I likely to be able to get FXUK on Freeview?

Cinnamon Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Just finished book 5, & am really upset that my favourite character turned out to be the baddie I was going to take a break & read something else before I started on book 6,but I picked it up,opened it & was suckered in right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchens Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Unfortunately Snowy no its on Sky. Do you have a lovely friend with a sky+ box and a recordable DVD player. If so they might record it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
