I love books. Worked in a bookstore for 11 years, so needless to say, I’ve heard the name Charlaine Harris, and knew she wrote a vampire series. The problem is that I typically don’t like female authors because no matter how gritty their novels can be, there is always an element of romantic love that rings too much like a Barbara Cartland romance novel. Not that I am opposed to romance and love, just not the sappy “he looked at me as though he were looking into my very soul” crap. Plus the main characters name is “Sookie” - I mean really, could it be anymore cheesy than that? And I don’t mean good cheese, I mean gawd awful, stinky, limburger cheese…
