Can a Series be Salvaged?
There is very little love right now for Mrs. Charlaine Harris on the web. A lot of her fans (myself included) were left flat at the conclusion of Dead Ever After. The ambivalent non-ending to the Sookie Stackhouse saga disappointed the masses. [spoiler: Sookie ended up kinda with Sam, but not really in a committed […]
Reading Rut
Ever get sick of everything you are reading? Do you have seven unfinished books currently on your Kindle? Are you just bored? I am embarrassed to say I am there…Sorta (My husband’s gonna kill me.) I am at time between major book releases. Authors like Charlaine Harris and J. R. Ward have published their Spring […]
Explaining the Disappointment – I am sorry, Mrs. Harris
Follow-up to previous post, After “Dead Ever After” WARNING: There are spoilers and my post just won’t make sense unless you’ve read the book. I completed ‘Dead Ever After’ within days of its long-awaited release. I didn’t want to write a knee-jerk review. I wanted to time to process and think about the series as […]

Keeping track of my favorite authors, favorite series, and new releases is a challenge. My local library and the internet are great resources – if I can remember to check them periodically. Almost […]
Constructed Vocabulary
I am a BIG Charlaine Harris fan. I buy everything she writes (usually on the day it comes out). I started with the Sookie Stackhouse series, then quickly devoured the Lily Bard, Aurora Teagarden, and Harper Connelly books as well. Between books, I regularly visit Mrs. Harris’s webpage in hopes of learning more about the […]
“DeadLocked”
A night spent with Charlaine Harris is always a good thing. The twelfth installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series was released yesterday. I attempted to obtain a copy at midnight, but no local stores were hosting any kind of special release event (Shame on you Wal-Mart, Wallgreens, and Hastings). I suppose books – with Harry […]
Wait…Wait…Don’t Tell Me
How come you can tell someone everything that happens in a movie and they will still go to see it, but giveaway the plot of a book and they will NEVER read it? The artistic mediums are different. When you watch a movie there are special effects, the musical score and yummy actors. I understand, […]
