2.0

at first, I thought maybe I’d watch True Blood. then I got halfway through the book & went… “no, think it’s best if I don’t”

the same goes with reading the rest of the series. think it’s best if I don’t.

Surprising how closely they followed this for the show 
Both Sookie and Bill are mildly infuriating 
I hate Jason 🫶🏻
For a vampire romance from 2001, insanely progressive
