There is a TV series called True Blood that is based off of these books, but the books are very different. The author, Charlaine Harris, is actually from Mississippi and I wish I had heard about her before. I suppose she&#8217;s not as looked at as widely because she is a science fiction writer, however she&#8217;s an amazing story teller.<\/p>\n<p>The books are about a twenty five year old woman who is a waitress who lives in Bon Temps, Louisiana ( a fictional town ) with her grandmother, and she can&#8217;t hold down a date because she&#8217;s a mind reader. I suppose that being a telepath can really hinder dating; I wouldn&#8217;t want to always hear what a man is thinking about me.<\/p>\n<p>In the book, vampires are known by people and they actually exist. One night, a handsome guy comes into the bar and she immediately knows something is different about him because she can&#8217;t hear his thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, because vampires are dead their brainwaves don&#8217;t work the same way. Sookie immediately finds peace within him and so begins the long story of Sookie being drawn into this dark and dangerous world.<\/p>\n<p>She works for these creatures often to help them find out information from humans that they need to know. She discovers that they aren&#8217;t the only creatures that exist and ends up having so many different love interest that I almost can&#8217;t keep up. I don&#8217;t really know how to explain all of it cause it&#8217;s so much information..<\/p>\n<p>I think the way it&#8217;s written is really entertaining\u00a0 and I&#8217;ve been listening to it on audible so that&#8217;s fun. I&#8217;m sorry I&#8217;m not writing this amazingly right now, this quarantine has really drained me, but I&#8217;m trying my best. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve read so many of these books because it gives me something to focus on and breeds creativity for me.<\/p>\n<p>I hope all of you are reading as much as you can and soaking in all different types of stories. Thank you for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have read five of the books in the series so far, there are thirteen.
