About the Sookie Stackhouse Series

Charlaine Harris brought new life to the vampire mythos with her Sookie Stackhouse series. Sookie is a Southern girl with a handicap; she can read minds. It just gets more interesting from that premise, with Sookie meeting and falling in love with a vampire.

Charlaine entertains us with ever more complex plots. There’s goth of course, along with sex, humor, and fairy creatures of all types.

Buy the latest in the series, Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 9).

My favorite vampire series so far is the Twilight Saga. I like the mix of vampires and romance. I'd definitely like to check out these books though- I've heard great things about them.

I haven't had a chance to read the books yet but everyone tells me that the books are far better than the series so I have to check them out!

kathypease

I havent read sookies but i do like the twilight books and sookies sound awesome too :)

garrettsambo

I like the story lines in the novels. They are very complex and interesting enough to capture your interest. garrettsambo@aol.com

auriette

I haven't read the Sookie novels, but I have enjoyed Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series, and I love what Nancy Haddock is doing with Cesca Marinelli in her St. Augustine vampire series.

Jamie Rippy

The Twilight Series are the only vampire books I've read. I'm a little obsessed. I even named my son Cullen. I also watch The Vampire Diaries and think I'm going to sink my teeth into that series soon!

I love the"Anita Blake series"by;laurell k hamilton.I love this series as she is a vampire slayer and she is also anecroscope talent but hers is totally different and 1000x stronger than average.there are mythical creatures introduced in this series.some very bad ass characters who have powers to make them even more of a threat.anita becomes que of the leopard clan without meanin g too!she was killing thier old leader,fighting for her life.then she learns she has become the main vampire master human servant.which does not sit well wit her.she falls fo rhim,literally head over heels.to make it more complicated,a lcal werewolf clan leaders got on to her,she kills them,making a high school teacher,named richard,the new werewolf king-which she falls for as well,but becomes the werewolves"judge/excunitioner"ANd she loves richard but they fight constantly as richard cant deal with what he really is!then anita has mishaps that keep makin gher life more difficult,and very interresting.she learn she has found her"cat mate"partner,while she was saving that clan from a crazy pyscho leader she does end up killng.micah is her cat mate for life!she loves him like no other-but she is sharing her love and life with so many men-its hair spinning.and she truly believes that a woman does not sleep around,that she is faithful to 1 man and 1 man only...until the side effects of master vampire hits her hard.she now has the"Blood Noir"which must be fed several tmes a day or it turns her intol a sexual beast that will have its fill in any form from any man/beast that her animal deems worthy of her!she has faced the vampire council several times.she is a tough cookie,who isnt femine until bed time.she loves her penguin collection,yeah,bad ass to the core,but has a penguin collection! so many shift shapers,even some Ive never hear dof before.nightmares are common while I read this,as scenes are so well written,you can actually envision them.theres no sign this is ever goin gto end-AND each book is never predictable nor boring...I do love this series! I've never read 1 single book in tis sookie stackhouse collection.I 'd love ot read them,maybe nothing like anita blake series,but thats what makes books sooo great!being different in thier own unique style/way...thanks Kathryn20000 bingo1575@comcast.net

I love the series on HBO I have been wanting to get the books, so this is perfect! I have always loved vampire stories but my daughters interest in Twilight has rekindled my interest again.

Kristine Michelle

I like Sookie Stackhouse books cause of the humor and they aren't typical vampire novels. She's a cook chick.

I haven't read any book from this series but I like the Twighlight series

george ferris

My favorite thing about the books is once you start reading them, you do not want to put them down.

rogerdeming

great site

Mom2anutball

My favorite vampire series so far has been twilight!
Thanks!

I haven't read them yet but my niece talks about it so often that I'm totally intrigued with it!

christopher h

i've been enjoying the tv series, would like to see how different the books are

mogrill

I love romance/love triangle in the Twilight series. It is my fave vampire series. Thanks for the chance.

rw87

I love that Sookie is well mannered until you mess with the people she cares about most, then you better watch it! lol

freakfaceone@yahoo.com

vellaide

My favorite thing about the Sookie Stackhouse novels, is that as the heroine, she isn't super smart, or wealthy, or even incredibly good looking. She's just a down-home girl, with normal problems--and she can read minds. >.> I think that Charlaine Harris puts a really interesting spin on Vampire lore, and I hope that she makes many many more of these books!

Cynthya

I like the originality of the series, the setting and how she mixes up vampires, werewolves and other paranormal creatures. I think giving Sookie the mind-reading ability was a stroke of genius, and also having her grow and develop the way she does during the series. (I've read the first four in the series but I gave them away and now I'm dying to re-read them.)

Jessica

I'm not mad crazy like the craze that is going on now. I would say I more appreciate I know I love books and reading so I guess that part is my favorite the enjoyment. Count me in please. Thanks.

theodoreesteghamat

I like the anne rice series. Definitely need to see the movie "interview with a vampire".

sweetsue

I haven't read these, but I am dying to! I have never read a vampire series, but Stephen King's Salem's Lot is the best vampire book I have read.

darcyb

I love Trueblood--and I would love to read the books! I love the romance --I loved it when Bill Compton tried to walk through day light to try to save Sookie burning all the way.

Ed Nemmers

Vampires are erotic!

kayte71

I have never read any of this series-but have seen the first season of True Blood-and I love the actress who plays Sookie. Also dig the name.

Miss Spoken

I haven't read these yet but my neighbor raves about the series. I used to love Rice's vampire chronicles. I loved how she described history and New Orleans.

Oh, I'd really love to win this! I don't have a favorite thing about the Sookie Stackhouse novels since I haven't had the pleasure of reading them yet. I've heard so many good things though and would love to read them. As for my favorite vampire series.. still the old standby Interview With A Vampire. The angst in it was so frustrating. I love it when novels have a strong effect like that.

wakeupangel at gmail dot com is my e-mail.

Tarah

I haven't read this series yet but I want to because of all the great things I've heard about it. I really like the House of Night series - I have the latest book that I am reading!

I love the Twilight series. And I love the action in the books.

I'm not a fan of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, but my daughter is. I'd love to win them for her.

julieh

I've been wanting to read these ever since watching the Trueblood series. I love that Sookie is such a strong and independent character.

hmorris

Love the Twilight Series and Anne Rice novels.

Jaleigh78

I know this sounds stupid but I didnt even know this was a book series .I love True Blood and became addicted.Now Im gonna have to have these either win them from you or buy them hopefully win them would be better Thanks

Nicole D.

I haven't read any of the Sookie Stackhouse series, but i want to! I did read Twilight, and my favorite thing about the series was the relationship bewteen Edward and Bella. Thanks!

Scott Bergman

I love seeing a strong lead female in the book.

Cody

I haven't read any of the Sookie novels, but I am a huge fan of True Blood. Over the summer I managed to read two vampire novels: Dracula & Children of the Night.

chris v

anita blake is very good also scooter7018@aol.com

Lisette

I subscribed via feed burner. And I meant Eric not Erick. I've known too many Ericks in my life I keep misspelling Eric's name! :) Or maybe I'm misspelling it know...

Lisette

Erick. Need I say more? I haven't finished the series (only till book 2) because I'm so dang broke and my library NEVER has them. *crosses fingers*

Thanks so much for your generosity and the opportunity!

Alicia

My paperback copy of "Interview With A Vampire" is worn out cuz I've read it so many times.

PatZ

i like the fact that the vampires live and love with the humans and they are not all scary beings.

Stacy

I haven't read the Sookie books but I want to really bad. Right now I'm reading the second book in the Vampire Academy series and I really like it so far! I think I like it so much because it's so different from all the other vampire books.

kathydunaway

I haven't read any books in the series but LOVE the True Blood series on t.v.I would love to win the books.Thanks for the giveaway:)

tojosan

True Blood is based on Sookie Stackhouse books but there isn't a direct translation. I believe you'd enjoy the books better though.

Kim

I think this is cool what you're doing. I don't want to enter the contest, as I have my own full set; but I did want to comment on what good condition these books are in. Mine are all dog-eared in several places...mostly where Eric appears, or Sookie made me LOL, and of course Pam's witty comments make me giggle.
Merrry Christmas!

tojosan

Good condition books are hard to come by at times.
I'm the only one reading them in my house so it makes it easier. Also I don't reread books right away. Often have a huge stack waiting to be read.

Austin

My favorite thing about the Sookie Stackhouse novels is that there not like any other vampire novel really. You always see these vampire stories that these girls have to keep secrets from everyone they know and love so that they can be with this vampire. In the Sookie Stackhouse novels vampires are out in the open so there is no reason to be worried if your vampire gets discovered. Another thing I love about the Sookie Stackhouse Novels. They have trueblood, which satisfy there nutritional needs and so forth. In other vampire books the, the vampire is trying everything he/she can so they don't rip the throat out of there lover. And this is why I love the Sookie Stackhouse novels.

tojosan

Thanks for that great post Austin. Some of the same reasons I enjoy the series. Having vampires be 'out' is a different take entirely. Funny how Sookie has to keep other's secrets out of her head.

theamira

I haven't read these yet but my favorite thing is that my teen daughter loves the series and anything that keeps a 16-year-old home and reading is a winner in my opinion.

tojosan

Amen to teens reading. Would love if either of my boys had done more. :)

Ladytink_534

Oh easy, it's Eric. He's easily one of my favorite fictional vampires of all time.

tojosan

Eric is really? Not Lestat?

traymona

My favorite vampire series is Anne Rice's series of books about vampires.

tojosan

Oh yeah, love me some Anne Rice. Have you read her other books?

i havent read them but i am an avid true blood fan. Far as books go i would have to go with twilight, since i have read them. i am pretty sure the sookie stackhouse series will blow that out of the water though!

ferriza2(at)yahoo(dot)com

tojosan

Ferriz,

I'm sure you'll love Sookie Stackhouse. She's not your typical female lead in a vampire series.

shootingstarsmag

I haven't read any yet but I know my sister would love to have them and hopefully I can read them all at some point.

Favorite vampire series though? I really do like the Twilight books but my FAVE is Nice Girl's Don't Have Fangs and the rest of the series. SO GREAT

tojosan

Thanks for stopping by and registering.
Never heard of Nice Girl's Don't Have Fangs but Twilight is huge among my friends.

I like the sexy fantasy of it all. Vampires are just plain cool!

Yes. Sex is a recurring theme in just about all vampire novels. Even the ones totally geared for teens.

I can honestly say that I haven't ever read any vampire books or series, but I am very interested in it. I would love to read these books or the Twilight series, vampires are very interesting! Thank you so much for such a wonderful and generous giveaway!

furygirl3132[at]comcast[dot]net

tojosan

furygirl,

These are some of the more interesting vampire stories I've read in years. Of course I got hooked on such stories with Anne Rice's vampire novels.

Find Interview with a Vampire in paperback somewhere. Great read.

CanisFirebrand

Have not read them yet. But I did enjoy the Anne Rice vampire novels.

Also RT'ed your Twitter post.
