AbielleRose Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Charlaine Harris has a couple other series but I haven't tried them. I agree though, it is hard to find something to equal how much I enjoy reading the Sookie Stackhouse series. Sookie is one of the most unique and enjoyable characters I have ever come across. Quote
catwoman Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Are there any other names for the fisrt book? as I have just tried to reserve it from my local library and there is no sign of it. They have all the other books I think but I can't find the first. Any help? I don't want to get the first book as it is not normally my sort of thing but with all the good reviews I wanted to try it out Thanks CW. Quote
frankie Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Catwoman, I might be wrong but I don't think there are alternative titles to the first book. But why don't you write your library and ask if they could get Dead Until Dark in their collections because they have all the other books as well? Quote

I am actually going up to the library today to make sure that there is not an error or something on the Internet reserve site (which I doubt there will.) Hopefully I might be able to get some joy. Thanks frankie. Quote

My library has it listed as True Blood: Dead Until Dark and sometimes True Blood: Book 1 so it might be worth looking for that. Quote

catwoman Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Harris, Charlaine All together dead Hardback Harris, Charlaine Dead and gone Hardback Harris, Charlaine From dead to worse Hardback Harris, Charlaine Definitely dead Paperback Harris, Charlaine Living dead in Dallas Paperback Harris, Charlaine Dead to the world Paperback Harris, Charlaine Club Dead Paperback Harris, Charlaine Club Dead Large Print Harris, Charlaine Living dead in Dallas Large Print This is all that it shows up. Maybe I am stupid and missing something but I can't see the first book there. What library (being in mind this website are for ALL teh libraries in the main city and the surrounding areas and not one book in the first series of a well known TV show. Quote
frankie Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Catwoman, I know it seems really stupid and incredible. But maybe some stupid customer has stolen the copies of Dead Until Dark Did you go there today to ask about it personally? Quote

But maybe some stupid customer has stolen the copies of Dead Until Dark Did you go there today to ask about it personally? I was going to but it was really busy and they were short staffed. So I am going to do it next time I go. Does seem strange though that they have the others but not the first one. Quote
frankie Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I'm just reading Club Dead and I don't like it as much as I did Living Dead in Dallas, but it's definitely good though. I hate Bill. I hated him for what he did to Sookie in the trunk of the car and I almost cried. That son of a bitch. I don't care that he's a vampire and it's his instinct and blah blah. Eric has been so sweet. (I was astonished at his and Sookie's fingerbang session at Russell's which was only interrupted by the poor darling Bubba ) I'm just at the part when Sookie and Eric left Bill behind and they're at the gas station, talking to the to guys who're after them. Eric: What were you supposed to watch for? Guys: A big dark guy and a tall blond guy. With a blond woman, real young, with nice tits. Eric: You are speaking of my future lover. Be more respectful. Ever so eloquent enigmatic Eric <3 Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I love that bit "you are speaking of my future lover" Gotta love Eric. I like Club Dead I got a bit bored with Definitely Dead and Dead to the World is still my favourite Quote
frankie Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I can't wait to get to book 4, Charm's been hassling me to start reading it as soon as possible Quote
Ben Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Okay I'm really going to have to get on-board with these novels. Seems to be a lot of hype about them amongst this forum. And I'm afraid I'll have to shamefully admit I've never even looked to see what they are about. Quote
Nicola Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I love that bit "you are speaking of my future lover" Gotta love Eric. I like Club Dead I got a bit bored with Definitely Dead and Dead to the World is still my favourite I think the first four are fantastic! 5, 6, 7 were a bit for me but still addictive. 8 was better and 9 was great again And yes Frankie the scene at Russell's was a bit 'where did that come from!??' in a good way of course Quote
catwoman Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Well I went up the local library and enquired about getting the first book. aparently none opf the local libraries even the main City library DO NOT have the first installment of the series. So I think I might wait and see if I can get it cheap somewhere. Quote

But I was just so surprised I kept thinking is this really happening, did I read this right?? I had to pause for a moment before I could continue Catwoman, sorry to hear about the libraries not having that book Couldn't they order them now? Have you ever tried play.com? The first book, Dead Until Dark costs Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I can't wait to get to book 4, Charm's been hassling me to start reading it as soon as possible I might have to join Charm in her quest to get you to book 4 more quickly. It's the best book of the whole series, frankie, we can't wait for you to get to it you're gonna love it Quote

It's the best book of the whole series, frankie, we can't wait for you to get to it you're gonna love it Well I've just read Chapter 1 and had to come here to say what the heck is happening with Eric?? I hope he'll soon recover. It's weird how he said a woman shouldn't be alone at this late hour and how come the men in Sookie's family aren't supporting him. Pam mentioned witches and I guess they've erased his memory but is he like mentally in the 1900s or what? Just guessing It was so sweet, him with his puppy dog eyes asking Sookie if he could come to her bedroom before he had to go sleep. And them two sleeping together in the same bed. Awww And, my questions where rhetorical, I do not want any spoilers Quote

lexiepiper Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah, he's gone back to being more human Quote
Weave Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah, he's gone back to being more human And Lexie, we done it without spoilers! *High five* Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 He is so sweet in that book. I love that he just lays in bed beside her holding hands. Aww. As much as I love "dead to the world" Eric, I did miss the wit and charm (if you can call it that ) of the regular Eric Quote
catwoman Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I have just looked on Play.com and found a copy there. so I will buy. Hopefully it will be as good as people say. Thanks for all the advice everyone. CW Quote
