Man, it's like Specktra bookclub and I haven't read the book =(

I've been considering it after finishing Season 2 of True Blood.

Can you tell me what you like about the series?

Oh my god I think my favorite book was Dead to the World with the whole Eric storyline... However I love them all...

And Eric is definitely the one I would like to prowl on!!

Yummyyy
Is it just me or is Sookie extremely (and unrealistically) lucky in love (or lust)?
It seems like every male she encounters is just lusting on her!! Right?

I'm actually reading the second one right now (I'm about a third through). I guess I'm gonna have to finish them and then answer the question.

I started reading the books after Season 2 finished just so I can feed the True Blood addiction until June 2010

The books are quite different from the show though, not sure yet which one I prefer

right before they started showing true blood on tv i had purchased the first book, and i didnt like it much so i threw it in my closet, well at my used book store i found Club Dead so i was like what the heck let me try again, and I love it!!!! so I started over again with the series, and read all the books and I am just an addict now,

My fave is always Eric..but I liked Alcide and Quinn too...but its like as soon as they are about to get serious with her, their characters got weak..and a little unlikable so it was easy to just say ERIC! cant wait for the next book.


besides these I am a HUGE Black Dagger Brotherhood fan..if you ladies are looking for some "vampire porn" like my husband calls them when he sees me reading them. GREAT BOOKS.

LOL! Another Black Dagger Brotherhood fan! After reading all eight Sookie Stackhouse, I read all seven BDB. Not sure what came over me, I couldn't stop reading them. It was like an addiction, I couldn't wait to get the next one. Sookie books are funny, but if you want some real vampire "porn", JR Ward books are a must!!
ps..I have all seven Charlaine Harris books, would be happy to pass onto someone if you want to pay the postage.

The Sookie Stackhouse novels are probably my favorite series. I'd have to say that Club Dead (book 3) is my favorite, but I do love the later books where Eric becomes a bigger character and Quinn is introduced. I've gotten my mom to read all the books and my best friend has gone through the first four.

If you are looking to start the series or you already love it, but don't own any of the books, I'd recommend getting one of the box sets. There are two: books 1-7 and 1-8. Last Christmas I got books 1-7 in a set and it was great because I wouldn't have to wait to start the next one. If you're interested in either one, I believe Amazon has the best price.

Oh, the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

My mom randomly bought the first book and I decided that I would read it when she finished. Well, she was taking her sweet time with it and I couldn't wait any longer, so one Saturday I ended up reading it in just a couple of hours; it was so addicting! Once she finishes it, I'm going to re-read it. I haven't read any of the others in the series, but there's a box set that I'm hoping to get for Christmas.

ok, bumping this since I have now read the first 5 books. As of now my fave is the 3rd book but I think they get slightly better in sequence in terms of character development. As far as characters go, I also prefer Eric. He's the most consistent and has believable personality flaws and strengths. I think the author did a good job of showing the good and bad side of him without exaggerating too much.

I prefer the show over the books though which is weird coz that's hardly the case for me. The books are highly addictive but I still think some of the character are portrayed like God and I usually take issues with "perfect" characters in a book. Sookie is actually the one who's portrayed as this perfect sexual being who everyone loves/lusts, yet she's always very witty and quick, manages to escape death ummm, 20x times....Since she's the main character, her being too perfect makes the books less of an enjoyable experience and makes her my least fave character. She's just not believable and a lil too exaggerated for my liking.

I think the show manages to stay true to the book in general yet makes the characters more believable so I would say the show wins over the book.

Given all of that, I still wanna know what happens so I'm starting the 6th book tomorrow

I thought I would repost my offer before I bag all the books up and take to the Goodwill (I have hundreds of books I need to get out of here lol!). I have all 8 Sookie Stackhouse books, as well as all 7 Black Dagger Brotherhood. I don't really have anyone I know that is intersted in reading them. I would be happy to box up and ship to some who wants them, just pay the shipping. Not trying to make money, just trying to share my love of the books....

so i read that they cast alcide for the next season of true blood, ive only seen one pic of him, seems ok..maybe not what i would of expected but i wont know if he fits till i see the show...its interesting to see most of us really got into this series with that third book..its still my fave...i bought the short stories collection she released a few months ago and it was a big disapointment to me =( i found it under all the magazines in the mag rack in my bathroom and realized i hadnt even finished it yet. i guess it was nice to just have if you collect the whole series which i did, and tied a few things together, like Hadley's story things like that, but still left me wanting..
lol.gif
cant wait for the next book!
