Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris: Audio Book Review

Over the last several months, I have been listening to the books in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. Originally, my goal had been to write reviews of each book. Because I listened to most of these books back-to-back, I can't remember where one book ended and the next began. Also, for the most part, I enjoyed each book equally. With this in mind, I decided it was best to write a review for the overall series. I am going to keep this review spoiler-lite, so you can read this review and potentially pick up the series from the beginning or finish the series up if you had put it down for a while. There are 13 books in this series, so it can be a lot to get through.

May Update

Monthly Update


This has been the month of finishing series and binging on graphic novels. I finished both the Newsflesh trilogy and the Sookie Stackhouse series (okay, I haven't finished the short stories and novellas, but a huge weight has been lifted from me). I also read 17 graphic novels, and I have a stack more to read that I got from the library. I think my husband actually loves me more now that I have a pull list at the local comic book store.
