  Supernatural fiction

  Just found out they are making a series based on the Sookie Stackhouse books. I enjoy Sookie so much and think Anna Paquin is a great choice to play her. I find it a lighthearted read that I enjoy when I need a break from the drama centering in Anita Blake's life in Laurell K Hamilton's series. I consider Sookie to be like a Happy Meal read and Anita is like a sit down meal for the mind. For people who are fans of the genre looking for new authors they might not have discovered or read yet these are what I read:

  Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton
  Wings of Night series by Maggie Shayne
  Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris
  Blood Ties series by Jennifer Armintrout (although I think it can be WAY better)
  Betsy the Vampire Queen set of books by MaryJanice Davidson
  The vampire books set in Broken Heart, Oklahoma where the entire town is supernatural by Michele Bardsley
  The Rachel Morgan books by Kim Harrison (this is my absolute favorite)
  The Abby Cooper Psychic Eye series by Victoria Laurie
  "Stray" by Rachel Vincent (weres) loved it, hope she writes more
  Sign of the Zodiac books by Vicki Pettersson
  Lee Nez series by David and Aimee Thurlo
  Victory Nelson "Blood" books by Tanya Huff that have been turned into a tv series
  Wyndham Werewolves by MaryJanice Davidson

  The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R.Ward (although wow can't the author give ANY of the guys a break?)

  Happy Hour of the Damned by Mark Henry is one of my favorite books that I ever had the pleasure to read and the zombie Amanda is so narcisistic I just adore her!

  I couldn't get into the Vampire Huntress books by L.A. Banks or Lynsay Sands Argeneau Vampire series (Ive read a couple books in both series and they just didn't appeal to me). I'm struggling with Kim Raye's books in the "Novel of Vampire Love" series but think they could be better than they are.

  Katie MacAlister writes a lot of different fantasy themed books and her vampire genre ones are amusing and I just finished the two books in the "Blue Blood" series by Melissa de la Cruz and found those so unique with regards to Vamps that I can't wait for the third book to be released!

  I hear about Christine Feehan but have never read any of hers so if anyone has insight......

  (PS my fave nonsupernatural series of books would be Stephanie Plum and Hannah Swenson books) I own the complete sets of both of those series.

  I blame it on Bunnicula. It's the first book I remember saving my own money to buy when it came out back when I was like 8 or 9. I was in 3rd grade and the teacher had a copy she read to us and I frightened, enthralled and I was hooked. So I blame the bunny lol
