Tori (victorilone) | 2 comments I will always say Eric because I mean it's Eric. But I agree with the others that a part of me sorta wants her to end up with Quinn. I realize that he had a ton of baggage but if he pulled it together I think he could give her the most "normal" life.


message 252: by Trish (new)

Trish (sugarbones) | 2 comments 1. Sam
2. Alcide
3. Bill


I want to put Eric in there somewhere, but I feel if-y about him.


Mrs. Northman Not that Sookie girl :) Not that Sookie girl :) (supernaturalmom3) | 5 comments Omg if she doesnt pick Eric I will fall out and die. My sexy Viking!!!!!
And in the books and the show u can tell he loves her, and omg Sexy!!!!!!


message 254: by Nadja (new)

Nadja (XxNadjaxX) | 3 comments Oh I also really liked Quinn and thought the relationship had a weird ending. I blame it on Eric! I'm not a big fan of Eric and I don't think he's suitable for Sookie in the long run. I really hope Quinn will be back and that Sookie remembers how sweet he was now that her blood bond with Eric is gone.

I also liked Alcide in the beginning but his world is getting too weird for Sookie I think.

But all in all I think I like the big muscular men (Alcide, Quinn) who can reproduce. So thats who I would choose if I were Sookie.

Anna | 1 comments I would choose Sam. He is a nice guy and hot!:D


message 256: by Collazosan (new)

Collazosan | 2 comments Eric is the most practical lover for Sookie. He's a real man and just as stubborn as she is. They compliment each other and he keeps it real.


message 257: by Miranda (new)

Miranda | 6 comments Bill!! But personally I would choose Eric :) especially after he lost his memories.


Mrs. Northman Not that Sookie girl :) Not that Sookie girl :) (supernaturalmom3) | 5 comments I like the cocky Eric better, but when he didnt know who he was was kinda sweet, but i dont really like sweet that much :p


message 259: by Callie (new)

Callie (stonedcalliereadsbooks) 1. Eric
2. Quinn
3. Sam

I love the dynamic of Eric and Sookie. I just adore Quinn. Sam is a cutie pie. I love him.


message 260: by Heather (new)

Heather Book Savvy Babe (booksavvybabe) | 41 comments I will always love Quinn, but I think that Sookie is kinda over him... I think either Sam or Bill will be her eventual choice...


message 261: by Jolie (new)

Jolie | 30 comments Eric is my first choice because I love his character.....

However, I think it will be Sam.


message 262: by Marcia (new)

Marcia (marcygold) Quinn! Sookie wants a life free of vamps, and Quinn could give her happiness and protection.

Yeah, book 9 was great. I don't know how it could all go down hill from there, but it does.


message 264: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Mcneill | 4 comments I would pick Alcide if I were Sookie, he's not dead and they could have children together, which she couldn't with Eric nor Bill. Also, I read the books before I watched last season with Alcide in it and they way Joe M. looks, is exactly how I thought Alcide would look when reading the books.


message 265: by Crystal (new)

Crystal (ilove2read37) | 1 comments I love them all...I love Eric, Bill, Sam, Alcide, and Quinn....I would take them all myself...oh to be Sookie..lol...I love the series.


message 266: by Casey (new)

Casey Harless | 1 comments I would say Sam or Alcide. She would more than likley have a half way normal life.

Forgive me if someone has mentioned this already...but I just thought of something...what if HBO/Alan Ball introduces some new random love interest for Sookie! Maybe a hot Merlotte's dude from New Orleans or something!


message 268: by Ann aka Iftcan (new)

Ann aka Iftcan (iftcan) The answer to that question is simple Nicole--we go hunt him down for messing with our Sookie. :oP But it WOULD be interesting, wouldn't it? What should he LOOK like? Sookie doesn't really seem to have a "type" (well, other than PN) but looks wise, she doesn't have a type.

Now, we will open this up to every male who ever appeared in a movie (we will pretend that they were turned into vamps or something, ok?) So, nominate who you think should play this mythical "new male". And post a link to a picture of him if you can find one.

Its really hard to choose, but I'll get us started. How about Tom Berenger, from back in his younger days (since he's currently too old for Sookie, no matter WHO she married.) Here he is in his role in Rustler's Rhapsody. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm356021401...

Going back in "history"

Nicole (nlojeda) | 471 comments Mod
I love this game Ann! Great choice on Tom Berenger from his Rustler days.

While this might not be what we know as Sookie's type, I'm going to go with Michael Ely. Maybe he's the newly elected mayor and stops by Merlotte's for a bite to eat and a Sookie snack!

Ann aka Iftcan (iftcan) Nice pick Nicole. He IS sexy, isn't he?


message 271: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Figueredo | 3 comments 1)Eric- because they belong together!!!
2)Sam- because he loves and understands her...plus they had a moment in sam's office that bill ruined:(
3)Alcide- because there is a lot of lust there
4)Don't care for Quinn so he is my last choice


Mrs. Northman Not that Sookie girl :) Not that Sookie girl :) (supernaturalmom3) | 5 comments Omg I love Eric.
Girls nuts if she picked yucky bill.
Hes such an a** but Eric he's a cocky sex God.

Omg me to I replayed it a few times ;)


message 274: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) As much as I love Eric, I don't think he's the best man for Sookie, she gets into far too much trouble while she's with Eric, as if she doesn't have any enough already haha.

I liked Quinn, but she barely saw him so she'd have been miserable a lot if she was with him.

Sam is a contender for me, I really like Sam, but it might make working a little awkward.

I think Bill is the best man for Sookie, he genuinely cares for Sookie, although it didn't seem that way when he ran off to Lorena, she was his maker and there wasn't a lot he could do. He's not a King or a Sheriff, so Sookie wouldn't be dragged into Vampire Politics as much as she is with Eric. He also lives right across the cemetery to her and can be there within seconds (at night anyway) :)


message 275: by Kimi (new)

Kimi (hateeverybeautifulday) | 3 comments I think the best person for Sookie would be Sam, possibly even Quinn. But If I were in Sookies shoes, I would definitely end up falling head over heels for Eric, again and again...


message 276: by Dawn (new)

Dawn (dsnow4) | 4 comments Since Sookie does want children and a normal life or as normal as she can get I would say Sam or Quinn.


message 277: by Nicole (new)

Nicole (nlojeda) | 471 comments Mod
OMG! Did ya'll see the new cover for the last Sookie book!? I'm feelin' some Quinn action coming. I'd like to think that my lobbying had something to do with it but I don't think Charlaine reads our group posts. But ya never know! In fact, I was looking at our little ol' group history the other day and we've been going strong since 2008!


message 278: by Trish (new)

Trish (sugarbones) | 2 comments For Sookie, I pick Sam. He is her rock & I believe she loves him. She can also have all those things she wants out of life...husband & children.

For me, Eric & Bill might be hot. But Alcide is way hotter. There's something that draws me to that character.


message 279: by CindyToo (last edited Feb 08, 2013 02:59PM) (new)

CindyToo | 107 comments Eric is the one who has sacrificed for her, despite his being "all about Eric". The fae war had nothing to do with Eric - he went there to fight for Sookie. The Kym Rowe plot, again it had nothing to do with Eric, he was dragged into it because it would hurt Sookie.

Sam's her bff but she loves Eric and says so to everyone who asks and thinks about it constantly in the last book. I think the chance of her suddenly decided (after she uses the CD) that she really loves Sam - without once thinking about him in a romantic way since she's been with Eric - incredibly unlikely. That makes me :-D.

Before the novella, STW, I thought Sam had a chance but not anymore.


message 280: by Nicole (new)

Nicole (moonwillow83) | 4 comments Ok If I lived it the world Sookie was in, Hands down I would pick Eric. Eric has money, power, looks and he would be able to turn me.
Now as for Sookie herself I would pick Sam. Sookie is always thinking of kids and growing old, Sam could give that all to her and grow old with her.


message 281: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly love the Rock as Quinn. Sam would give a normal life to Sookie, or a closer one than anyone else. children too. kinda thought Bill might sneak in there. or Pam just to mix it up & throw everyone off track. this book could have gone so many ways. love Sam so ok with how it ended.


message 282: by Annie (new)

Annie (annielovesaudiobooks) | 8 comments I love Sam and think they are awesome together - HOWEVER I'd have to say Alcide all the way.


message 283: by Elisa (new)

Elisa | 1 comments Eric, Eric, Eric, every day of the week!!


message 284: by Yajaira (new)

Yajaira Eric and Sam have always been my favorites...however I feel Sam is the best choice for Sookie. They want the same things from their human lives. That's pretty important!!

Stéphanie (stepinator) Eric :)

message 288: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, after watching the last season, if I were Sookie I'd choose Eric. Why did the writers of the show make Bill some kind of monster?Really messed up the show.But Eric. He's such a tall devilish handsome Viking.I have yet to dislike his character.

Bookish Jenny (bookishjenny) | 2 comments definitely eric...


message 290: by Denise (new)

Denise Moore | 5 comments I hate hate hate how the books ended!!! For Sookie honestly I would be happy with Eric, Bill, Alcide, or Quinn. For me it has to be Alcide or Eric I love them both. Lol

Danie | 2 comments If I were Sookie, I'd pick Eric.


message 292: by Josie (new)

Josie Polhemus | 3 comments If I were Sookie, I would go back to school, work with Mr. Cataliades to refine the telepathy, then become a consultant to Kings, packs, covens, etc. I wouldn't feel the need to choose a man, but I would have worked with Mr. C and the AP to free Eric. Then go about self-discovery and self-actualization and eventually work my way back to Eric. Then of course with the essential spark and the fae blood, I would live a longer life. I would never settle and I would use my gifts and smarts and my life would be amazing! Wish DEA could have been that good.

SPOILER ALERT!! I'm really feeling the Alcide love on the show and I can't imagine that she's going to end up with someone else before the series ends? Especially Sam with his baby daddy situation. So does that mean that in the end (the show) end, she ends up with Alcide? No Quinn for sure now. Then again, ya never know! I've always been a Quinn fan. Bummed we don't get to see a hottie actor for him!

I know he's the last one picked in gym class; the guy you don't want to bring to the dance, but I can't help it, I have always been a Bill fan. I have forgiven him for all his douchebag ways in the book and for blech, Billith in the show.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

Alcide is very pretty. I can see her ending up with him. Although he's not my first choice, he's definitely not a bad choice, I mean look at him. I doubt they will be end game though. You know they love to throw a wrench in her love life in the middle of the season. He'll do something to piss her off I'm sure. She was already mad at him in the first ten minutes of the premiere.

WELL, WELL, WELL!!! Looks like we now know who Sook ends up with no? What do ya'll think? Wonder if the actors swayed the storyline and direction a bit!

Hey guys! Shall we vote on who we would chose True Blood style now that the series is over? Based on the show, if you were Sookie who would you pick? Now based on the book, I was all into Quinn, but he never came to light in the series. So based on the series I think I have to go with...Sheriff Andy! Just kidding. I pick Eric. Eric all the way. Or Alcide. No Eric. And Alcide! LOL
