false <![CDATA[Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse #1)]]> 301082 28 Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana, but she keeps to herself and doesn't date much because of her "disability" to read minds. When she meets Bill, Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He's the type of guy she's waited for all of her life, but he has a disability, too--he's a vampire with a bad reputation. When one of Sookie's coworkers is killed, she fears she's next. 479517 book 1 5 2001 Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, #1) total:27078|5:7622|4:10482|3:6836|2:1678|1:460| 27078 104362 35938 4889 301082 0441008534 9780441008537 25099 4395 Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, #1) 3.85 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255593755m/301082.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/301082.Dead_Until_Dark 5 32 false Thu May 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 07:34:16 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 10:53:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 301082 0441008534 9780441008537 25099 4395 Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, #1) 3.85 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255593755m/301082.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/301082.Dead_Until_Dark 2 21 false Mon Oct 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 09:33:49 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 11:52:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 301082 0441008534 9780441008537 25099 4395 Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, #1) 3.85 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255593755m/301082.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/301082.Dead_Until_Dark 1 43 true Thu Sep 04 20:59:38 -0700 2008 Sat Jan 03 01:06:30 -0800 2009 True Blood, the new HBO series based on these books.
