2505272 I really liked all the Sookie books, though I think DEAD UNTIL DARK was my least favorite. I think when I go back and re-read the series, I won't dislike it as much.

I think when I first read it, Sookie annoyed me, but she has really grown on me.

I also have been enjoying True Blood (finishing watching season 2 at the moment). HOwever, it's kind of weird to see how it differs from the book. I feel like True Blood is really pushing BILL, whereas I think the books really push ERIC. :)

The last 2 are my favorites also. These are really easy and fast reads because they keep up wanting more. I think I stayed up all night finishing the last book...I could not put it down!!

I can not wait until Dead in the family comes out. I saw a interview with Charlaine Harris and she said she is going to talk about Bill and Eric families in this book...ought to be really GOOD!!!

I have read all the Rachel Morgan books and, for the life of me, I couldn't tell you why! I didn't really like any of them. The only character I really liked is Jenks, oh, and his family! Finally decided after WHITE WITCH, BLACK CURSE that I'm done! I don't know why I continued to read them. I think it was a habit!

2779793 I'm the same as Jess, I enjoyed all of them (sookie books) but enjoyed Dead to the World and Dead and Gone the most, i think everyone knows why with Dead to the World and Dead and Gone I enjoyed it because there seemed to be a constant flow of action and mystery.

Is there another one coming soon?

901103 Out of the Sookie books my favorites are the same as Shannon. I loved loved loved Dead to the World!! And Dead and Gone was also a great one just because I liked some of the things that happened between some of the characters. (I don't want to say more for those who haven't gotten that far yet, but I'm sure most of you know what I mean lol)

I have yet to try her mystery series. Hopefully I'll get around to that soon.

1199857 My absolute favorite is Dead to the World (Sookie Stackhouse, #4) probably followed by Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, #9). I have enjoyed all the Sookie books, some more than others, but can honestly say that I can't think of one I didn't like. I've read all the short stories except the one in Must Love Hellhounds. The one in Blood Lite was not that great. I read Shakespeare's Champion (Lily Bard Mystery, #2) and Shakespeare's Christmas (Lily Bard Mystery, #3) and thought they were both pretty good. I tried one Aurora Teagarden book and didn't finish it. Also, read the 1st & 3rd Harper Connelly books. Didn't like the first one at all and thought the 3rd was better, but not enough to read anymore of them.
