I'm trying to read all different types of books with this read-and-blog thing. I want to step out of my comfort zone some. I want to read some classics and some books that are just plain trashy - although I have not brought myself to the level of choosing a Harlequin or other serial romance novel with a picture of some Fabio-esque man embracing a half-naked woman on the cover. But I fear I will if I keep this up, just to please the masses. (Again - this is a running joke!)
While I loved my last read (Diana Gabaldon's Outlander) and am awaiting books two and three from Barnes and Noble, I think it's only fair that I not spend my next six books of this blog on one series from one author.
My next official book is Charlaine Harris' Dead Until Dark. This is the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series that spawned the HBO series, True Blood. My best friend loves this series and, though I've never watched it, I take his opinion seriously. So, I'll give it a shot and see. (And a side note - just reading the back cover I thought there were some similarities between this and the Twilight books...which were written later, but I'm not accusing or anything...there's nothing new under the sun.)
Read on!
