It would depend on what about the True Blood books you found crappy. For me it was mainly the main character – I could not figure out a way to like her or relate to her. But the world was intriguing. And since the writing was substandard I had to do a lot of reading between the lines.

So if its the writing, then dont bother, while it does get better its not significant. The world becomes more developed and I would say around book eight I managed to even start liking the main character. =D Plus Bill the vampire is almost non existent (yaay!)

As for the Elf Porn, dont knock it till you’ve tried it!! Actually the porn part is VASTLY exaggerated. My friends just called them that, but it turns out its more mild erotica then anything. Personally I was a bit disappointed, since I was expecting, you know, porn, but really the books are better for the downplayed version of sex.
After having finished the second book in the series now I will say that I find the whole fairy political intrigue to be very entertaining and the author does a very good job of making the reader welcome in such a foreign world.

For junk food reading its pretty good. =D

I feel you on everything but the elf porn.

I’ve read the first 4 True Blood books and generally find them to be kind of crappy…. but will I maybe buy book 5? Maybe…

Re: writer’s block I can never decide if its better to force yourself to write stuff even if it feels uninspired or to jus wait it out. Good luck!
