Trouble Putting The Sookie Stackhouse Books In Order?
Charlaine Harris has written a fabulous paranormal romance series (specifically in the urban fantasies category) called the Southern Vampire Mysteries, featuring the lovely Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress with a flair for finding trouble (and vampires) every step of the way.
Shown here is the latest Sookie Stackouse book, called Dead Reckoning, published in 2011.
I loved every single book in the series, and I can't wait for #12 called Deadlocked, which should be released sometimes this year.

Did you know that Charlaine Harris has released another popular paranormal series featuring this time Harper Connelly, a woman with somewhat strange abilities: to find dead people....
Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse # 1)
Dead Until Dark (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Southern Vampire Novels)
Amazon Price: $12.21 (as of 06/04/2012)
I am a big fan of paranormal romances and mysteries and when I first heard about the Sookie Stackhouse series, I ordered the first book right away. It was so good, I practically devoured it in one sitting.
It's a very easy read and even if some editions of the book seem rather big, don't be fooled by it, you can really read a book in just a few short hours. It does help that it's so good, it practically reads itself.
In the first book we are introduced to the cute waitress Sookie, who can read minds, an ability that makes it very difficult for her to get a date. Afterall knowing what the other person thinks of you all the time can become quite the turn-off....
Until a new vampire comes to town...
Living Dead in Dallas (Sookie Stackhouse #2)
Living Dead in Dallas (Book 2) (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)
Amazon Price: $3.25 (as of 06/04/2012)
The next story in the Southern Vampire mysteries series finds Sookie dating the said vampire, thinking that he is probably the perfect man who has ever graced the world with his steps.
One of Sookie's coworkers is found dead and Sookie and Bill (her vamp boyfriend) have to solve his murder...
Club Dead (Sookie Stackhouse #3)
Club Dead: A Sookie Stackhouse Novel (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)
Amazon Price: $5.27 (as of 06/04/2012)
Book 3 stars with Sookie's personal problems with Bill. She can't understand why he's so distant lately. Right until he disappears, out of town. Eric, the ubervampire, Bill's boss, says that Bill has been called to another state. And yes, if you haven't figured it out yet, Eric gets included in the love triangle, making a book a real hoot to read.
Of course the story gets more complicated with Sookie's murderous thoughts towards Bill whom she's of either dumping or right out killing...
Dead to the World (Sookie Stackhouse #4)
Dead to the World: A Sookie Stackhouse Novel (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)
Amazon Price: $6.50 (as of 06/04/2012)
Did I mention before the love triangle between Sookie, Bill and Eric the vampire boss? Well things are about to get more interesting here...Bill disappears to Peru this time, just when Sookie finds Eric walking without clothes on the street with no recollection of who he is or why he is stark naked.
So far this was my favorite book in the series. Eric is so different from his usual self, he's even very pleasant and Sookie is quite in danger of falling in love...But as much as she'd like to have Eric in this permanent loverboy state, she simply has to solve the case of Eric, even if that means him getting back his memory and becoming the evil Eric again...
Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse #5)
Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 5) (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)
Amazon Price: $5.89 (as of 06/04/2012)
Eric is back. To his old self, that is. With no recollection of his time spent with Sookie. This book focuses more on shapeshifters, specifically on Jason, Sookie's brother who is a werepanther.
Also as usual, Sookie gets shot (she gets wounded in every installment), and the mystery is on again. Oh and if we're back on the triangle...now it gets even weirder...Sam, Sookie's boss kisses her and she starts to fall for him too...And of course Sam is no ordinary guy either...
Definitely Dead (Sookie Stackhouse #6)
Definitely Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 6)
Amazon Price: $5.59 (as of 06/04/2012)
Sookie meets the Queen. Of the vampires, that is. In this installment she goes to New Orleans, the main lair of the vampires and here she meets Quinn...
Although I loved this book as well, somehow I do miss the previous characters, Bill and Eric...
All Together Dead (Sookie Stackhouse #7)
All Together Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 3) (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)
Amazon Price: $5.89 (as of 06/04/2012)
This time Sookie has to attend the vampire summit. And she's not even a vampire herself. But due to her psychical abilities, she is ordered by Eric and by the queen herself to spy on the attendees.
This book sets the stage for a next chapter in Sookie's life. It deals more with vampire politics and here we see Sookie taking charge for once. Far is she from the early Sookie who was simply happy to wait table and basically be a barmaid.
From Dead to Worse (Sookie Stackhouse #8)
From Dead to Worse (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 8)) (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)
Amazon Price: $5.54 (as of 06/04/2012)
The plot in this book is almost non-existent. When reading the book I felt that it was more about tying loose ends and parading various older characters. Sookie is back waiting her tables in the bar and serving blood to local vampires.
This book is a great example as to why you need to read the Sookie Stackhouse books in order. If you start with this book, for example, you'll just scratch your head about various characters as you won't know who's who and why are they there. But if you've read them in order and get to this 8th book, you'll have a few aha moments along the way and find out about the happenings in the life of some of our beloved characters.
Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse #9)
Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 9) (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)
Amazon Price: $6.49 (as of 06/04/2012)
The ninth book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, which for me seemed quite busy. Lots of characters coming and going, both old and new, and Sookie is back with Eric once again. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this 9th book. On one hand If ind it a bit disjointed, on the other hand I love the Sookie Stackhouse world of paranormal, so I'm in the end not disappointed at all that I've read it.
Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse #10)
Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 10)
Amazon Price: $5.99 (as of 06/04/2012)
What I loved mostly about this book is the developing relationship between Sookie and Eric. Even in the early books when Sookie was with Bill I still somehow rooted for Eric. He is a much more complex character and I feel, much more enjoyable as well. So I'm glad they're together now...even with their complex situation.
There are many small subplots in this book that will be mostly understood if you've read the previous novels in the series. Many old characters appear again and even Bill gets a nice storyline tie-up. Lovely episode.
Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse #11)
Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 11) (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)
Amazon Price: $7.30 (as of 06/04/2012)
So far the latest book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, with just one more book to be published (apparently).
Maybe not the best in the series, it is still a great read. Nothing earth shattering happens in this book, even Sookie and Eric get to a hurdle in their relationship and it looks like they might not even make it together...Or will they?
Now we're left to wait for book #12 which should be published this year. Come on Charlaine Harris, hurry up!

- That's a clever idea. I don't read this particular series, but I can see how it could be useful to put them in context and order. Some series a person develops an attachment to the characters, so even if the main part stands alone, they're not necessarily interchangeable.
