Since school got out, I have immersed myself in continuing to read Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series...the ones on which the HBO series True Blood is based (none of which I have watched). So far I have read...
- #3: Club Dead
- #4: Dead to the World
- #5: Dead as a Doornail
- #6: Definitely Dead
Sookie is just so normal...well, if you disregard that she is a telepath and seems to continually encounter one major conflict after another. I just like her character: she is honest, caring, and shops at Wal-Mart!
Throughout these novels, Sookie, a barmaid by trade in Louisiana, continues to learn about the "others": vampires, weres, shapeshifters, fairies, and witches. She continues to love with a love (okay...maybe some lust involved also): Bill, Eric, Quinn...Sam? She continues to kick butt, righting wrongs and living to tell about it, as she remains loyal to family and the few friends she has due to her special powers of reading minds, which is one reason she enjoys hanging out with the others for their minds are more difficult for her to read. Some, even, impossible, for vampires are dead, and that includes their brains.
Recently released, the next installment...number 11...means that I have a few books to read to be current on this series...looking forward to seeing where Arkansas author Charlaine Harris takes her characters. Just might say that I hope Bill's character takes a more positive turn!
Should you enjoy series, Harris writes other series: Lily Bard...set in Shakespeare, Arkansas (the English teacher within me appreciates this!) and the Aurora Teagarden (have not read any of these...yet).
Enjoy the fantasy world of vampires and such? I have read several, and this is my favorite. Enjoy!
