does anyone else read the Sookie Stackhouse books?

I finished Deadlocked last night and was really pleased.  While these books have never been literature, the writing has really suffered lately. and i think we are edging closer to the natural conclusion of things that I have been rooting for from the beginning.

  • ME! I need to download the newest book.

  • I'll read this sometime with summer. I'm glad it seems to be winding down. I'm only reading them now to find out how it ends.

    I am listening to it now on Audible. I am kind of happy to see it coming to a close. I love the series but I feel like it has run its course.

  • I read them all (except for the latest - wait, there's a new one??!?!?), and I'm torn. Books one through three were TERRIBLE. Like hardly readable. I only finished them because the friend who gave them to me PROMISED me that they would get better starting in book four. And they did...but barely.

    I've read them.  I think I'm behind on the latest book, but I agree...the writing has been crappy and the storyline way too predictable.  I don't expect a lot, but I used to be more entertained.
  • Deadlocked is the most recent, it was released Monday. i've lost track of what # we are on now.  google tells me it is #12.  #13 will be a good stopping point, IMO.

  • I enjoyed the first few but the later ones have been horrible. It sounds like this latest one might be worth picking up.

     

    ETA: Because I'm in writing nazi mode.

    Slainte!

  • I thought #11 finally got the series back on track after the suck that was #9 and #10.

    lol. good to know. i'm glad i gave up after book one.

  • I read them, but in paperback so that they all match, so I'm only on Dead Reckoning.

    Also, I love Eric and Quinn and I'm still peeved that Claudine bit it.

    there must be a Quinn short story out there, b/c the events of it are referenced in the latest book.  i hate all the stupid short stories.  ETA: google again.  it's in the "novella" Small Town wedding, which is in the sookie stackhouse companion.  whatever.

    Thank you for googling for me. :) I will be reading this short story at the bookstore. I have no need for a stackhouse companion book. Not even for Quinn.

  • I read them all up until Dead Reckoning or whatever (the one that came out last year.)  I wasn't spending that much for it in hardcover and then getting it in paperback slipped my mind. 

    I read them super fast and back to back (in the days after the bar exam, before I was employed....read all Stephanie Plum, Sookie Stackhouse and a few other similar books lol) so they all blend together for me now. Some of the were definitely way worse than others.

    I love Stephanie Plum! Ranger is a fox in my mind. Rawr!

  • I've only read the first 4, but I'm hoping to get through all of the current books this year. So that's like 1 a month. I think it's do-able.

    as it takes me 3 hours or less per book to read, totally doable.

    I DO have a goal of reading 112 books in 2012. It's just making sure some of them are Sookie Stackhouse that I need to remember. :-P

  • I kinda want to read the last few as I read all the others...but I cant remember which one I read last, and I cant remember anything thats happened...and that makes me think, well, maybe those books are just not very good?

    Nah, cause you know you read them and they didn't make you feel like you wasted any time. They're good throw-away, give your mind a break, books. 

    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.
  • I downloaded the book and started reading it over lunch today.
