True Blood — 

True Blood has far surpassed Charlainne Harris' hopes!  Not only have her books won awards,( that - perhaps, she didn't expect to get,) But the HBO has 'enhanced' her books, and their show is running rampant!

Anna Pacquin, (who plays Sookie Stackhouse-) the main character in the CH books, has also earned several awards by taking on this role. She already won an Oscar at age 11 for her acting in the film 'The Piano'...

What is so fabulous about the series, (I think, ) is the fact that Anna, Steven, Alex, Ryan, and several others on the series, do NOT speak with a southern accent; as a matter of fact, Steven is a Brit, Anna-now hails from Canada, Ryan is of Austailian decent, and so on...If you watch the show at all, and are a fan, this is old news...

I think that Steven Moyer hit it 'Dead On' ( pardon the pun), when he told an interviewer that he felt that Twilight was the Diet Coke of vampire movies.  Don't misunderstand me:

I do like the Twilight books and series; but True Blood is for the adults, not the kids...
