Book Readers-What parts from the books do you hope make it into the series?

[Replies: 17]
For those of you who are addicted to the books and are now addicted to the series, which parts do you hope Alan Ball includes in the series?

As a die-hard-Bill-lover; I hope to see the part where he brushes Sookie's hair...

I agree with everyone here -- Bill brushing Sookie's hair ; doesn't Bill have a hot tub at his house -- I'd love to see that, too; BUBBA ALL THE WAY -- he's WAY too funny! Shower scenes with Eric I'd like to see Alcide and how he's developed, and QUINN!!! Just finished reading Book #6, and I've developed a most sincere admiration for weretigers.... ]:)

I just love the part when Sookie calls Eric to ask him to take her to the orgy. It made me laugh out loud, I think it's towards the end of book 3.

Actually that's when I really started liking the character of Eric, it just seemed to me that he maybe liked her more than even he was aware of at that point.

....And when Sookie takes blood from Eric - after she is staked in book 3.

"Football game make-up sex (Book 2). Oh my stars.... "

FangFan - I know!!! I read this part like 5 times already. It was so freaking hot.

I would love to see the scene where Sookie drinks from Bill the night before she has to go to Fangtasia to help Eric.

Mentioned already, but it bears repeating....
Eric and the shower scene!!! Also, when Sookie has to tell Eric what he can't remember and when he said "I remember everything". Made me melt!

Much covered here already. I would like most of the entire storyline to be told over a few seasons of trueblood. The love, sex, happiness, heartbreak, and include most of the main characters. I so enjoyed reading the first 7 books...I even bought book #8 in hard copy, cost over $20 but was worth it. Book #9 is supposed to come out next year.

OMG where to start ...definitely Bubba,,all the sex with Bill and Sookie, the hairbrushing , the bathing, that strange creature from Book 2, the maenad,Phryne, any scene with Alcide, sex with Bill and Sookie, Sookie and you know who with the stake. I am only at the beginning of Book 4 so that is it for now.

The Vampire Summit from Book 7. And of course Bubba. I hope the casting of Bubba & Alcide will be close to their descriptions in the books.

who do you think will play bubba? i look forward to that too.

personally, i am wondering how they will manage the last part of book 2 since that seems pretty intense to me.

hm. i could say more but it would be considered a spoiler so i won't. :D
