    <body><![CDATA[11/12/09 read: &quot;Fairy Dust&quot; (Sookie 4.1)- I read this one after I was already on book 6 but it was still really cool.  It is the short of the Fairies, Claudine, Claudette, and Claude who are triplets.  It intwined with the Sookie books very well, a nice little spin off. <br/><br/>11/14/0...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77583671">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I hadn't heard great things about the short stories that were collected in this book, but I guess I hadn't anticipated them being as disappointed as I was.  Most of the short stories in this collection are mini-mysteries where Sookie is asked to use her skills as a telepath to help solve something, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77938353">more...</a>]]></body>

Don't get me wrong, I love the Sookie books and think Harris can write a decent book. <br/><br/>She can't write short stories, however. These read more as chapters, and the action seems to be over before ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75382795">more...</a>]]></body>
