1.Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 1) by: Charlaine Harris September 03, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.57
Wow, What can I say I truly enjoy this seris and can't wait to read the whole Sookie Stackhouse Novels. Well written can really see the story within your head.I just wished I would have found these books sooner. Fantastic mix of romance, horror, humourous and playfulness. Would recommend anyone to read these Seris of books. Nicole Eglinger

2.The Pillars of the Earth by: Ken Follett July 09, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.01
I question Oprah's literary tastes. She gushed over "Pillars," saying she was sad as she neared its conclusion, knowing the read would soon be over. Please! The story wasn't particularly compelling, the characters not that well developed, and Follett's story--taking about 996 pages-- was about 600 pages too long.

3.Club Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 3) by: Charlaine Harris April 29, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.30
I enjoyed the first two books as the series are easy reads. Romance and adventure, what more can a person want reading vampire novels! But, the third book was disappointing. While I did not expect Sookie's and Bill's relationship to last forever, there is nothing written during the story line to build up that Bill was summoned or decided to stray (whatever his reasoning is). He just abruptly left early in the third book, which is the turn in the opposite direction from the ending of book 2. Boo. Hiss. The second thing that annoyed me was how Sookie and Eric and Bubba were able to have major discussions in the enemy's house. Vampires supposedly have super heightened hearing abilities. You don't think that the vampires in the house would be able to hear the discussion that they had? ... Read More

4.All Together Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 7) by: Charlaine Harris March 25, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.74
I liked a lot of things about this book but it has created some bad feelings toward Sookie for me. Up to this point, I've mostly enjoyed her character and have loved the books. But I won't abandon the series. I'm just hoping for some character improvement for Sookie with Book 9.

5.Dead as a Doornail (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 5) by: Charlaine Harris April 25, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.52
Although I think this book was better than book 3, I thought the lack of main plot made the book reading messy. As much as Sookie is beginning to get a backbone with her character, it seems as she really doesn't have control of her daily activities which is a bit disappointing. She accepts invitations that lead to her getting in messy situations, all the while complaining about it. I think most of the side characters were not deep enough for us to warrant any care for. I do like book 1,2, and 4 better. One thing I have to say I did like was Bill's stay with Sookie in the hospital. I thought Harris threw away their relationship all to swiftly after she wrote about it for two books. Even though they may be moving on with their lives, I do not believe that they would just forget about each ... Read More

6.Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 6) by: Charlaine Harris March 27, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $1.87
This book turned out to be one of my favorites of the stackhouse series. There is action x2 so it really gives you alot to read. You really just want to kick Bill in the butt but I will not spoil it but is a must read.. Lots of things come into play with this book and things are making more sense.

7.Double Cross (Alex Cross Novels) by: James Patterson October 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.47
I was so excited to see this new novel by James Patterson. He is one of the rare authors whose books I buy without question. His books that are written with other authors are usually not very well written. It's almost as if he just gives them the plot and allow the other authors to run rampant with the story. When I saw this book, an Alex Cross book at that, I was hooked. It is a true page turner. The short chapters will have you saying to yourself, late into the night....I'll stop at the next chapter. Then....I'll stop at the next chapter, etc. Before you know it, your done and ready for the next installation. Great book, great storyline, loveable characters and nail biting suspense.

8.Angels & Demons (Robert Langdon) by: Dan Brown March 28, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.01
The story is better and faster paced than his second book (DaVinci), plus better locals. Front to back one of the best books I have ever read.

9.The Hollow (Sign of Seven Trilogy, Book 2) by: Nora Roberts May 06, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $1.43
See my review of "Blood Brothers", the first part of this trilogy. I am a fan of Nora Roberts and have enjoyed all the books I've read or listened to, especially her more recent works over the past 5-8 years. This is another good one. That said, this is read by a different narrator than Blood Brothers. I found this woman so annoying I wanted to rip the CD out of the car, throw it out the window, and go get the written book. Thankfully I see the third book of the trilogy is read by someone else.
