[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 285915, member: 2459"] The tv show based on the Sookie books is called True Blood and it's on HBO on Sunday nights. If you've read the books and like them....two things to remember. The series is BASED on the books. It does not follow them exactly. (Non spoiler example...Tara in the books doesn't show up till book 2 or 3 and is the owner of a clothing store. Tara in the show was there from the first episode and is nothing like the one in the books.) Season 2 just started and is somewhat following book two. The other thing to remember....[B]it's HBO[/B]. Where the books hint at or have a limited and fairly tame look at a sex scene....HBO does not. Anna Panquin (sp?) plays Sookie on the show and I do believe I've seen pretty much all there is to see of little Anna. As for Charlaine's other series....there are 3 off the top of my head. One is an older one and features a librarian by the name of Aurora Teagarden. Those are kind of the "cozy" mysteries. The second features Lily Bard, a house cleaner/handyman type of person who is kind of a PI. All of the titles of that series have Shakespere in the name. Her more recent series is about a young woman who, after being struck by lightening, can sense dead bodies and know what happened to them. One of the books is called An Ice Cold Grave....I think. As for the Maximum Ride books....I've heard that there may be a movie based on all or one of the books. If that's true, I hope they do it well. Those could be really cool if they were done right.
