Sookie Stackhouse by Charlaine Harris (2008, Paperback)

SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN THE HIT HBO SERIES 'TRUE BLOOD', IN A BETTER WAY, I THINK. I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOURTH BOOK AND I CAN'T READ THEM FAST ENOUGH! WHEN I GET DONE WITH #7, I'M GOING TO HAVE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS UNTIL I CAN FIND THE 8TH BOOK OUT THERE SOMEWHERE. AND I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A NEW BOOK IN THE SERIES IN THE WORKS FOR PUBLICATION THIS SUMMER, I BELIEVE I READ SOMEWHERE. SOOKIE STACKHOUSE IS SUCH A LOVABLE CHARACTER, DOWN TO EARTH, VERY RELATABLE. I LIVE THROUGH EVERY DECISION SHE MAKES WITH HER, ROOTING HER ON AND HOPING FOR HER LIFE TO BECOME EASIER AND LESS COMPLICATED, BUT KNOWING THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN WITH THE COMPANY OF VAMPIRES AND SHAPE SHIFTERS THAT ARE HER FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS.
