The books in the Sookie Stackhouse (aka Southern Vampires) series by Charlaine Harris are:

Dead Until Dark (Book #1)
Living Dead in Dallas (Book #2)
Club Dead (Book #3)
Dead to the World (Book #4)
Dead as a Doornail (Book #5)
Definitely Dead (Book #6)
All Together Dead (Book #7)
From Dead to Worse (Book #8)
Dead and Gone (Book #9)
Dead in the Family (Book #10)
Dead Reckoning (Book #11)
Deadlocked (Book #12) - expected publication: May 1, 2012

I have been meaning to get started reading these for years and I already own most of them.  What I like about the way Darlene is hosting is that there are levels so you don't have to read the whole series.  I'm going to sign-up for Level 1: 1-4 books.  I have the omnibus edition with the first three books, but I don't like to read series books one right after another so...according to how I feel at the time, I will either read just the first book or the first three.

  3. Suggestions for The Telling Tales challenge, let me see...there are several retellings by Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked (and I think the Wicked series could be included). Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and Mirror, Mirror. There are some retellings by Robin McKinley...Beauty and Spindle's End. Also, The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey. I haven't read any of these, but I'm planning on reading a few of them for the challenge.

    And yes, I love the HBO series, but this will be my first read of the books.
