She is another author that I have never read but boy do I love watching True Blood on tv. After I watch the last season, then I will decide if I want to read the books.
Today I noticed that she has a new trilogy coming out next year called Texoma. It is a speculative fiction and it really sounds good to me.
Sherry - I loved True Blood as well. When you're done with the series, let's chat about it in the general discussion area. I would love to read your thoughts on how it ended.

I've read all of the True Blood books and liked them but have never watched it on TV. Has anybody read her Midnight Texas books? Starts with Midnight Crossing - Charlaine Harris. I did read them and again enjoyed. It was a mini series on TV, taped it but never watched.
Banana Boat--I've never read True Blood but love the tv series. I have all of Midnight Crossing taped except for the first one. As soon as I can tape it, I'm watching it.
I watched all of True Blood, which I enjoyed. I started the series of books not long after the show started, from whatI read was good (like the 1st 6) but didn't follow the show (they never do) so I stopped to pick back up after the show b/c I found myself comparing the two and hubs fussed at me (he doesn't read) but with everything in my TBR pile I just haven't pick them back up...yet

That's one reason I usually hate shows based on books, they never follow the book. I did buy the 1st season of True Blood and still haven't watched it probably because I don't want to be disappointed.
I hated the final few episodes of True Blood with a fiery hot passion!! The ending sucked so much a**, it made me choke. I won't go into what pi**ed me off so much cause spoilers for those who haven't watched. My advice would be don't.
I'm one of those that prefer the book over the show. I hadn't read anything by Charlaine Harris and actually tried to watch True Blood several years ago and hated it. Then I picked up the first season at Dirt Cheap and we started it from the beginning and loved it. So far I've watched all but the last season and I know I'm going to hate it but I will watch it. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to read the series. What do y'all think?

I love the series, but have never read the books either. Isn't it funny - I can be addicted to a tv series with the main characters every episode, every season, but with books I really don't want the same main couple every book. Well with the exception of crime/mystery type books - I love Elizabeth Peters Amelia Peabody books, Jeffrey Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme books, Kathy Reichs' Temperance Brennan books, etc, etc.
