Quoting mommie020308:

I am going to read all of Charlaine Harris' books. My husband got me the Sookie Stakehouse novels, so I will start with those!

I really liked the Sookie Stackhouse novels (or as the were originally called the Southern Vampire Series). I would like to read her other stuff.

I have also read the Harry Potter Series a bunch of times but I am re-reading them at bedtime with my DD (of course she doesn't know what is going on).

I will be checking in to get some Ideas of what to read next.
