True Blood: Boxing Gandhis & Other Likely Possibilities by Jefwithonef Houston Press

Jef will be joining me Sunday night on Talk Blood- please tune in and listen!


Each season of True Blood is based on a corresponding novel by Charlaine Harris. The first season was based on the first book, the second on the second, etc. The fourth book in the series is our favorite, so it would stand to reason that the fourth season would be or favorite.
