Bookworm Belles discussion

Discuss your book here :D

Thanks!
We have shared our February TBR shelves with each other and chose two books for this Buddy Reading:


We're starting with Dead Until Dark :D

If you choose to do a second one, you'll have to pick something other than Uglies. We don't allow Books of the Month for the same month as the buddy read. Since we're reading it as a group. Buddy reads is meant as something to read a book not being read by the group but still having someone to discuss it with.
Thank you.

Aww... That's ok, we'll change it.

Thanks hun!

The second book will be:

I just started Dead Until Dark and, I don't know if this happens to everyone but I cannot read it without picturing the tv show. Luckily, I just watched the first season so, for better or worse, this won't be happening for the second book.

I haven't seen the T.V. show but if I like the books I'm considering watching it.

Did you like the show?

I did, actually. But it's not a family show, If you know what I mean.
If there's a "steamy part" in the book, then it would be five times worse in the Tv show. The thing is my TV is in the family room ;(
Maybe, after I finish the book, I'll watch it on Netflix.

I'm finally going to start the book. Hopefully I like it and decide to continue with the series. :)

Yeah, specially since there are 14 books in the series ;)

Very often, when I read Sookie's dialogues, I play them in my head with the characteristic southern accent, or at least, with what I think is a southern accent.

I do that too sometimes. Are I like to visual an actor or actress that fit that character.

Yes!! First I decide which actors fit with the characters, then I google some pictures of them and create a collage. Finally I set it as a wallpaper on my cellphone.
I know it's lame but otherwise I tend to mix the faces as I keep on reading.
For example, this is my collage for SOULLESS.

 

Oh, WOW! I love it!! :D
Soulless is a very good series. Gail Carriger is one of my favorite authors.

Since it's an HBO show, I don't know that it will ever be on Netflix... But HBOgo has all 7 seasons! :D

I could see it on their page? Full episodes?! HOLY COW!!!

What I can't believe HBO would've sold their rights to True Blood... better for us though! Lol!

I finished this book, but I can assure you I'm not done with the series :D
It was and easy reading that kept me hooked until the end.
Although I enjoyed it more than the Tv show because it wasn't so  edgy, I'll be watching the show soon just to close the circle.

Now I wish I had a friend like Sookie Stackhouse (without the mind reading), always so lively, considered and respectful. The good thing is I have 13 more books about her, so I won't be missing her for a while.

I finished the book. Sadly I don't think I'll be continuing the series. It isn't "My" type of book.

Sookie was an okay character and the whole mind reading thing is cool but kind of scary. I wouldn't want to be able to read people's minds all the time.
I was honestly surprised to find out who the killer was, for some reason I kept thinking it was the sheriff.
I strongly disliked her brother Jason, I can't believe he told his own sister "to get over it" after knowing what their uncle used to do to her when she was a little girl.
I wasn't that big of a fan of Bill either, I liked Eric better even though we didn't read that much of him

Yeah, but I think the author is trying to direct our attention towards Sookie, unlike others that make it all about THE vampire, like it happens in Twilight, for example.
I believe that Sookie's love life is gonna improve as we continue reading, because what we see here, Jess, is that they are not perfect. Bill is far from being perfect, and so are Eric and Sam; and I , personally, like that. It means she has many choices, and it's not going to be a predictable one.
I don't like Bill either, and I think Sookie is with him just because he was the first man to bet on her. I hope that she soon realizes that he's definitely not the only one.
So that is why I need to continue reading this series! :P

I agree, I think she decided to be with him because she can't read his mind and that he actually took the chance with her and he didn't treat her differently because of the whole mind reading thing.

I'm going to be starting today

Great! I wil too, then.

Hey Jess! You remember what you said about Sookie and Eric? Well, all I'm saying is you should definitely think about reading (wink, wink). :P

Sookie & Eric together :D
I think I am going to read it.

On pg 136 of Northanger Abbey- I don't like Isabelle, she's highly annoying and I have suspicion that she isn't a true friend.
