So…does your whistling-ceiling gazing mean Ana and I are warm? Yes? Oooooh goody :)

I haven't tried the audiobooks, I'm always a little leery of them since a character might not 'sound' the way I picture them in my head--but I'll definitely have to give one a try with your recommendation!<br/><br/>So...does your whistling-ceiling gazing mean Ana and I are warm? Yes? Oooooh goody :)<br/><br/>LOL Ciara--yes. Sookie has quite a few early Bella moments. The good news is that she is starting to realize that getting the crap beaten outta her isn't exactly fun. And, at least with Sookie, she feels like a real, concrete, strong narrator--unlike wishy washy "someone will alllllways save me!" Bella. Gag. Thanks Bev!

Another BELLA!! Haha. Fortunately Sookie (at least in the first book) is way to practical to be Bella. Though I did question in the end of DEAD UNTIL DARK when Sookie decided to go out of the house into the woods when the killer was trying to get her. Classic TSTL heroine moment. HA. <br/>Looking forward to reading more of her adventures. Great review! “but really, how many times can Sookie get hurt and how many men can be attracted to her?” Another BELLA!! Haha.
