3. Club Dead (Sookie Stackhouse book 3) by Charlaine Harris - 292 pages

Thanks.

I am new to Charlain Harris - already a fan though! I was told I should wait until summer to read her - now I know why.

>6 DragonLibrary8: - Same here. I started reading after watching the first season of True Blood and I pretty much can't read anything else, or if I do I'm always reading the next book at the same time.

4. Dead to the World (Sookie Stackhouse book 4) by Charlaine Harris - 291 pages
*I can't wait to read the next book - at this rate I am going to run out of Sookie Stackhouse in the next few days! I did just get the last book in the Pendragon series by D.J. MacHale though - I have been waiting for that one - so I will move on to that.

5. Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse book 5) by Charlaine Harris - 295 pages

6. Definitely Dead (Sookie Stackhouse book6) by Charlaine Harris - 324 pages
7. All Together Dead (Sookie Stackhouse book 7) by Charlaine Harris - 323 pages

8. The Turning - Blood Ties book 1 by Jennifer Armintrout - - 379 pages

Just a suggestion but, if you put your books inside touchstones, people can click on them to learn more.

Directions on how to do this are on the right side when you post a message but, basically, just put them in square brackets, such as:

[Definitely Dead]

which becomes

Definitely Dead

13. Beyond the Grave 39 Clues book 4 - by Jude Watson - - 190 pages

I have read the first 2 books in the 39 Clues series, but not the others. How are they?

Bev, next we have to get you reading the series by Rachel Vincent. They are about werecats and are more like Kim Harrison than Charlaine Harris. The first one is Stray. I'm waiting for the 5th one to arrive on my doorstop. I think Amazon has shipped it.

Ask me this fall for the other books by Charlaine Harris. She has a series about a librarian who solves mysteries and another series too. She wrote those first but didn't hit it big until she started writing about Sookie.

21. Broken Angel by Sigmund Brouwer - - 243 pages

Thanks for clarifying.
