I was starting to believe I was the only one. <br /><br />The books are badly written, but the thing that gets to me the most is Bella - she is so utterly needy.<br /><br />But that's just me. <br /><br />I am glad to see that others are not completely enthralled with the whole saga either.Kedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467573541576582062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708101437720447541.post-6994286709952594002010-06-29T20:44:48.186-05:002010-06-29T20:44:48.186-05:00lol Amber, on Twitter the TrueBlood people have be...lol Amber, on Twitter the TrueBlood people have been posting links to various recent interviews Charlaine Harris has given lately and so far there's been some question referring to Twilight in all of them - cracks me up!<br /><br />One asked her why vampires sparkle, her response "[deadpans] They don't."<br /><br />I love her answers - you can tell she's not thrilled about em, but she answers them with class and never officially puts them or Stephenie Meyer down but like I said, you can tell she's not thrilled, lol...<br /><br />I find it amusing too that the 3rd Sookie book, which introduces us the Weres was out 2-3 years before Twilight and yet Stephanie Meyer has em in her books too... and how hilarious it is people are thinking True Blood is ripping off Twilight with the introduction of the weres this season, when the Twilight movie introducing werewolves came out last fall - it's like "learn to read dates, the book this season is based off of came out several years before the book New Moon is based on did..." Granted, weres and vampires aren't a new concept, but it's still pretty funny, considering that these are 2 of the biggest series right nowRAY Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554153079752212370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708101437720447541.post-3460517500422814622010-06-29T14:33:43.024-05:002010-06-29T14:33:43.024-05:00I don't know anyone--even Twilight fans--who t...I don't know anyone--even Twilight fans--who thinks that these book were well written. I went to a Charlaine Harris Q&A session and someone in the audience asked her how she felt about Twilight. She was pretty polite about it, but you could tell that she thought that books were crap. My mom, who has read both the Twilight series and all of the Sookie books, told me that she felt like Stephenie Meyer may have borrowed/stolen some things from Harris' books.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533509179274926434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708101437720447541.post-24699038019876521572010-06-29T09:49:53.296-05:002010-06-29T09:49:53.296-05:00I was the same way.

Never read any of the other ones. <br /><br />HAHAHA! Hubby had to get wasted! That's great. I think my bf likes it more than I do. HE actually was the one that got me to watch the first one...which I didn't watch until after the second one was out. We watched the first on dvd. I didn't love it, but it kept my interest and I wanted to know what happened next so I watched the second. The second was terrible! But of course, I want to know what happens next so I will be watching the third :PSoph!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17465044235894579938noreply@blogger.com
