book_iconsHello everyone!
I've LOVED the Sookie Stackhouse series so far, so here are just a few icons from those. It's times like this I wish I had noted favorite quotes because now I can't find any. Figures. Oh well. Please credit, if you do decide to use.

I agree.

Date: 2005-07-08 11:54 pm (UTC)Sam? He's known her forever. Cool.
Eric, he's a letch. Fine.
Alcide? He worked closely with her, OK, maybe.
Calvin? He barely knows her.
Who am I missing? I know I'm missing minor characters.
And these powerful, because they are all powerful, men throw themselves at her. It's getting a bit silly.
I know she's in an anthology with Laurell K. Hamilton, I hope she isn't reading her and getting influenced.
If there's anything I can't stand, it's a Mary Sue.
Oh, dear! These are my secret guilty pleasure books.
Date: 2005-07-08 11:38 pm (UTC)I *loved* the first three. The last two were okay. I'm getting a bit tired of every supernatural man being introduced immediately falling in love with Sookie, though. I dig the character. I don't begrudge her the attention or the nookie, so much as I already LIKE some of the main love interests (I mean, c'mon, she's already got about 4!)and want to see more of THEM. More Bill. More Eric! Try biting off less, Ms. Harris. Oh, and more sex. These are my guilty pleasure books. My only guilty pleasure series. I realize Sookie is a good Christian girl, but she gets down and dirty when she wants to, so she could just as easily get down and dirty when *I* want her to. You're a better romance writer than you are a mystery writer, I'm afraid, so give up the goods! Did Eric even try to stick his tongue down Sookie's throat once in the last book? I mean, really. He could at least try. That's all I ask.

"Snow! I love snow!!"

Date: 2005-07-09 04:18 am (UTC)She started off dangerously close to being a Mary Sue.
Date: 2005-07-09 04:41 am (UTC)Even the fairies seem to want her. C'mon!
I like the Bill and Eric triangle, because it has a basis in reality no matter how far her stories venture into the fantastic. The first three books felt grounded somehow, and they're slowly spiraling out of control. From an interview I read, it sounds like she's planning on introducing even *more* men for our heroine to entangle herself with, willingly or otherwise. Keep it simple, fair authoress!
