Sookie and Eric are going to a club. She braids his hair and ties it with a black ribbon. Sometimes I really need to unread things. He won't have that long hair in my mind. What is with Charlaine making all the hot dudes have really long hair? Ew

I KNOW! The woman clearly has no idea what a hot man looks like. Alan Ball's vision is so much better, thank heavens.

Eric finally telling Sookie about the arranged marriage

What was a bit of a letdown was that she was building up to something with the fairies, but it never panned out. I'm guessing that she's saving it for the next book (she better be). First there was the mention of fae sleeping with their relatives. Then there was the bit about how if you say "thanks" to a fairy, you are obligated to sleep with that fairy. THEN we learned that a fairy can disguise itself as another person and sleep with a person that way. I just feel like this info has to be shared for a reason. The last thing Sookie said to Dermot, which was right when her sponsor arrived, was "thanks." Setup for the next book? BETTER BE! Now I have to wait A YEAR!

you cannot have sex w/ someone who looks like a sibling! ick!

hahah I know, right? That is why I don't know if will ever be Team Alcide; he reminds me of my brother. Though Dermot could always disguise himself as Eric. From now on, we'll wonder if people are ever who they say they are, which might be why we found out that bit about fairies disguising themselves.

I thought it just said saying "thank you" to a fairy meant you were obligated to them in some way, not that you had to sleep with them.

can we talk about that scene with Alcide? That just felt really wrong to me. I know Alcide has changed a lot since book 3, and he's not the greatest guy (and I'm certainly no longer on Team Alcide), but I don't think he would be that stupid or easily led to believe that was a good idea. He's big on being pack leader, so I can't even see him wanting to have a relationship with Sookie since it would be doomed to failure since they wouldn't have were children. I dunno, it just felt forced, like she needed an excuse for Sookie to kick out everyone in her house and couldn't come up with anything better.

maybe it was a fairy in disguise!

Oh, maybe it did mean that it just made you obligated in some way. Well, regardless, she did say thanks to Dermot!

I've been wondering about the Alcide thing too. What was the purpose of getting rid of Claude, Amelia, and Bob? Amelia really had no purpose for being there in the first place. The fairies could have put up the wards and vampires have their own way of removing blood bonds. Though it's true that Sookie didn't know that. It kind of seems like maybe it was just a lame way to get Amelia to write an email about the c.d. Maybe someone will find that email? I don't know. I do know two things though 1) it established that fairies are tricksters, which seems to be important 2) it established that all supernatural straight men want to bone Sookie. It's because of that spark she has, which we learn about later.

HA! Maybe!

I wonder if Elena from the Vampire Diaries has that same spark, because every dude on that show wants her

Yes, there was so much about the fae this time but then nothing happened, I am sure it'll all be in book 12

Did I miss a page, or does she forget to explain who sent those two guys who chase Sookie through the woods until Bill's house? I assume it was Sandra, but it doesn't really say, right?
Also, I hope that she's not planning on having a Bill comeback, what with all this new friendship/good neighbors/"I'll just sit here with you naked and don't you look good mmmm" moments.
