Notes:
(1) "[Quinn] looked like a genie who'd just popped out of a really big bottle."
- By my count, this is the second time Quinn's been likened to "a genie," though the first time in this book. I guess it's his thing.
- Goofy or not, it's definitely a clear mental image.
(2) "Quinn ... was still in his Aladdin's genie outfit."
- Yup, definitely his thing.
- Apparently, Quinn is to "genie" as Sam is to being short.

Notes:
(1) Barry: "My real name is Barry Horowitz. Now I just call myself Barry Bellboy."
- "Barry Horowitz"? Someone's a pro-wrestling fan… or else Ms. Harris googled famous people named Barry.
(2) "I'd been expecting a woman like the fangbangers who hang around at Fangtasia, but Carla Danvers was another kind of creature entirely."
- "Danvers"? Someone's a comic book fan… I wonder if she's related to Carol or Kara?

Notes:
(1) "Pam was a little shorter than I."
- Well, Sookie's 5'6", so... 5'5"?
(2) Sookie: "How old were you, Pam?"
Pam: "When I died? I was nineteen."
- Presumably she still looks nineteen. I guess it's good they aged everyone up in the show... otherwise it'd be "The Vampire Diaries."
- I've really got to recalibrate my mental image of book Pam. She'd be more like a blonde British version of Jessica from the show.

Notes:
(1) "Bob ignored his kibble in favor of watching Quinn fry bacon … I liked a man who could cook."
- Don't get too impressed, Sookie. It's bacon.
- Sookie's grasping at straws, if you ask me, to like Quinn for more than "his length."
(2) Claudine: "Take a hike, witch."
Amelia: "Pointy-eared bitch."
Claudine: "Mate killer."
Amelia: "He's not dead! ... He's just—different!"
- I do love myself some catty repartee.

Notes:
(1) Sookie Voldemorting Bill (aka he who must not be named) is such an overreaction and makes me not like her so much.
- Even if Bill's cheating and subterfuge wasn't against his will, it's still taking ex-girlfriend vindictiveness to an extreme.
(2) While I appreciate that sex scenes (so far) are less explicit and more euphemistic than usual, I hate Quinn and would rather gross sex described than gross Quinn.

Notes:
(1) If you've been enjoying my GIF updates for this series, I'm sorry to say I won't be doing them anymore. The fact is, I can't.
- I'd love to continue until the very end, but the last couple books have been a real stretch in terms of finding show clips that might in some way match what's going on in the book.
- I mean, I could conceivably go on like I have, but that'd just be posting GIFs for the sake of it.
