Book ~ "Dead Until Dark" (2001) Charlaine Harris

From Chapters ~ Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana, but she keeps to herself and doesn't date much because of her "disability" to read minds. When she meets Bill, Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He''s the type of guy she's waited for all of her life, but he has a disability, too--he's a vampire with a bad reputation. When one of Sookie's coworkers is killed, she fears she's next.

This isn't my usual kind of book to read ... I'm not into vampires.

But I picked it up because I had gotten into True Blood over the summer, which is based on Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series of books.

The book was okay ... I did struggle through it, though. When I read a book, that's the only one I'm reading ... I usually don't have another one on the go. But I had to put this down last night and read something totally different.

Though I am looking forward to season 3 of True Blood next year, I won't be reading any more of the books.
