Bitten by Books Screen Bites - True Blood and Haven

Greetings, Watchers. This week we have two goodies for you: True Blood and Haven.

True Blood, 9:00 p.m. EST Sunday, HBO (Carol)

Eclipse
I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago with a friend, and we both enjoyed it. Personally, I have been pleased with the screen versions being pretty faithful to the books, though I don’t always find that this aspect is necessary to my enjoyment.
