Dead to the World
Dead to the World: A Sookie Stackhouse Novel | Charlaine Harris
"With the sure touch of a master" (Crescent Blues), Charlaine Harris delivers "the sort of vampire thrills that make Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake novels so popular" (Locus). In Sookie Stackhousea Southern cocktail waitress with a supernatural giftHarris has a created a heroine like few others, and a series that puts the bite back in vampire fiction. Now the hit series launches into hardcover for Sookie's biggest twist-filled adventure yet.When cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse sees a naked man on the side of the road, she doesn't just drive on by. Turns out the poor thing hasn't a clue who he is, but Sookie does. It's Eric the vampirebut now he's a kinder, gentler Eric. And a scared Eric, because whoever took his memory now wants his life.Watch a QuickTime trailer for the HBO original series True Blood.

#OminousOctober

Had to go with this #dead title for today‘s challenge as it is my favorite in the Sookie Stackhouse series & I am rewatching True Blood for #Scarathlon2022 & am currently at Season 4 where Eric loses his memory & Sookie protects him. A vulnerable Eric Northman (#TeamEric) is an irresistible (& very hot) Eric Northman.

A good book/series for #TeamMonsterMash points!
🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻🐺

This was a fast read. More supernatural creatures are introduced. I wonder where this story will go. There was almost nothing of Bill in this one.
Good enough for a quick book snack. Nothing too substantial. A low pick.

A low pick. I find I‘m not as enamored of this series this time around, but I‘m planning to get through it all and finish it out.

Sookie finds Eric lost in the woods with no idea who he is. Witches are running amok in Shreveport and Sookie gets sucked into the mess, as usual. Lots of interpersonal drama (Eric, Bill, Alcide, Sam, Calvin, and supporting characters). The Jason story falls by the wayside and has a too-quick yet obvious conclusion.

The book that made me solidly #TeamEric back in the day. When Sookie finds Eric & he has amnesia, he is downright adorable. Plus, I‘ll take any excuse to look at pics of Alexander Skarsgard as Eric Northman on True Blood 😍😘🤩😋

I loved the parts with Eric in them and him being so child like, even in the TV series that was a great part.
Other parts of the book were just repeated bit from previous books which drove me crazy a bit.

Not my favorite Sookie novel, but not bad! I like that it centered around witches and enjoyed getting to see Eric in a new light and so vunerable. Not having Bill around was also a plus lol 😜 Overall the story was all over the place which kept it exciting but disjointed.

The novel where Eric finally grew on me!

BoleyBooks I just purchased this series. There is a long cue in front of them...but I look forward to reading them all. 6y
Darklunarose @BoleyBooks enjoy them when you get a moment. I completed them about a year ago (slowly adding the books I have read from goodreads to here) and I loved the series. The TBR list is always huge! But if they are there you will get to read them when you have time! 6y
ShyBookOwl Recently put book 1 on my tbr. Loved the show 6y
See All 12 Comments
Darklunarose @ShyBookOwl I heard the show was good. My kids were young back then and they never slept (still don‘t really) so I managed the first two maybe three episodes. It wasn‘t worth the stress if trying to watch it! But it did look good. I can say the books are highly enjoyable. 6y
ShyBookOwl @Darklunarose Good to know you enjoyed the books. A friend convinced me to watch the series once it was done and I am so glad I did. 6y
Darklunarose @ShyBookOwl I think I‘ll have to try and give it a go when I can. Currently watching black mirror with hubby and trying to watch the order myself. 6y
ShyBookOwl @Darklunarose 😍 Black mirror! So good. I started watching The Order too but I didnt get very far. I'm not sure what isn't working for me exactly... maybe the acting feels a little flat or a little forced or both 🤷‍♀️ 6y
Darklunarose @ShyBookOwl we started with bandersnatch and then it kept going into season 4 but we I‘ll back track to the others as well. Hubby gave up after episode 2 of the order. I need to finish it cause the second Sabrina has started! And I want to see that too! 6y
ShyBookOwl @Darklunarose Well I hope you are enjoying it! I haven't checked out Sabrina yet 6y
Darklunarose @ShyBookOwl we are! Literally just finished the episode with Waldo a few minutes ago. Sabrina is good but very dark. 6y
ShyBookOwl @Darklunarose I'll probably give it a shot one day 6y

Have had to put this one aside for awhile, really struggling to get through more than a chapter at a time! I already have the rest of the series and hope the rest are a more gripping read. Any words of advice? It doesn‘t help that I‘ve seen all of the tv version 🤷🏼‍♀️

jessinikkip I have the first seven and I found that I really got into them about a third or the way through book one and then stayed interested. I hadnt seen the show 6y

I‘ve been flying through this reread! I love these books so much! I‘ve totally forgotten that. #4 is my fave since it‘s mostly Eric centered and I love me some Eric, not a Bill fan, at all!! I‘m already on #6 and should be done with the series within the month if I keep going at this rate!! 😍😍

Seekingtardis @julesG I‘ve read them all except the last 3 and even at that they did start going down hill. I know she wanted to finish them earlier but her publishing company would not let her out of her contract. So the series suffered from that and that‘s sad. 6y

Maybe it‘s the change of seasons but I haven‘t been sleeping much lately. This is not a bother to me though as it just means more reading time & I get to enjoy some tea & chocolate. Where would I be in this world without books. They fill in all the gaps & I am rarely without one. I read everyday & I wish I could read more. I mainly read on my journey to & from work which is about an hour each way on public transport. A bus, train, bus then walk.

Kicking off #90sinJuly with Sookie. Dead to the World was one of my favorites in the series (but somehow I don't own it nor did I review it on Goodreads. 🙄) Anyway, in this one Eric loses his memory and lives with Sookie for a while. Not only is Eric #InsaneintheBrain during the book but his lack of memories from that time drive him nuts in future installments, too. I loved them together in this book and hoped for an HEA for them.

LauraBrook This was such a great book in the series! Makes me want to do a reread! 7y

When I started reading the Sookie series, I got the first few books in these collection versions... 2 books in one. Economical, yes, and I enjoyed reading the books, but gosh are they ugly. 😂
