A Sookie-fest

I've just finished reading nine books in the Sookie Stackhouse series - up to Dead and Gone - one after the other. In my mixed up way - I'd already read three of them before - out of sequence - well I think it was three, my memory is terrible. But anyway - I've now read them properly in order and I really enjoyed the experience. I'd liked the ones I'd read before but nowhere near as much as I did as when they became part of the longer story. This time I was IN that world, with Sookie and Eric and Bill and the rest. Maybe it helped that having seen Trueblood series one and two on the TV, I put faces to the names and was able more easily to picture the sultry Louisiana environment. Not that Ms Harris doesn't do a great job of painting that picture, she does, but combine the two together and I'm now a big fan.

I just know there's someone somewhere saying the same thing about your paranormal series.

As if! But nice thought. Actually this is the reason I don't feel mine are a series though they were called that. They are about members of the same family but not set in the same place and they don't feature the same characters like Ms Harris' do. Still, I don't know what else to call them...
