5. The Sookie Stackhouse novels

The ones that the HBO series True Blood is derived from. A friend got me one as a Christmas present and I've read through the first 3 in about a week and a half. They are addictive like popcorn.

I just started number 4 today

[DUgosh]

18. Harper Connelly

I've read two of her Harper Connelly series which are page turners!!! However, Harris also wrote a series with Aurora Teagarden as the main character. I read one of those and couldn't get into it.

I think maybe the Harper Connelly ones will have to be next. Thanks for the tip :toast:

[DUgosh]

25. Read them in order if you can

They will make more sense

7. Henry VIII, The King and His Court by Alison Weir

Less than 100 pages into it but it's very interesting.

8. Terry Pratchett

My library hold list just coughed up 3 Disc World novels; Sorcery, Reaper Man and The Fifth Elephant. They're like potato chips. You can't read just one. I'm also working on House of Rain, by Craig Childs.

9. The return of Sherlock Holmes. I think I read it years ago. Some of the mysteries seem familiar.

[MountainLaurel]

17. Just starting DANGEROUS GROUND by Larry Bond

It's about a US submarine way up near the Arctic . . .

[Forkboy]

21. He used to be right near the top of my list of author's to read.

Been awhile since I've read anything by him though. However, I love any and all sub stories, so it might be time to get back into him.
