Do re-read books count towards your goal of 100? Hm... I keep meaning to read that series but I still haven't made it past the first one - Dead Until Dark? And it was actually pretty good. I'm afraid it might give too much of the show away... Thoughts?
I have counted a few re-reads towards my goal this year, but not all of them. I was using the 100 Books thing to try and inspire me to read more new stuff.
I love, love, love the Sookie books. And having read them multiple times, it still doesn't spoil the show for me. Some things are going to be taken from the books, but the show has actually invented all kinds of events and characters (Maryann was a mere blip in the books and didn't even have a name. Could you imagine?) and sometimes completely changed something that happened in the books. So it's still a surprise.
I'm really surprised at how they pulled that MaryAnn character from that small portion of the book. I'm actually really over her character on the show right now and hope she gets it good in the finale. haha.
