I love to read.
And one of my favorite series is the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) set. They’re nothing life changing, but they’re fast and easy to read, and a fun combination of scary, far fetched, and sexy.
If you’ve watched the show on HBO and never read the books, you’re missing out on a lot. The TV show often goes in a whole other direction than Charlaine Harris version, and characters are added or sometimes left out.
But Eric is still hot. Even on paper. Hot.
So when I was thinking of what to give away in our book category, the Sookie Stackhouse Series was the first thing that came to mind. Because even if you already OWN these books, they’d make a great Christmas gift for someone else, and you can look all sweet and super generous.
See how I’m always thinking of others?

My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. I love the new site and have been looking forward to all the new posts all week!
I am such a sucker for the Twilight series… Edward makes me hate my husband.
lmaooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!
So so funny.
I read all the time. seriously. so I have a ton of favorite books. But I really like the Fever series…
my favorite of the moment is Kristin Hannah’s Night Road.
You guys have GOT to stop making me choose favorites. A favorite book?! That’s like choosing a favorite kid! I love the Vampire Academy series, I love anything by Phillippa Gregory, I love chicklit like the Shopaholic series. I just love books. Period.
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
I love the Sookie series been reading it for years! (hate the show) but the books are one of my favorites.
I’m in love with the Wicked series. They’re dripping with fantasy and even get a little racy at times.
Harry Potter of course! But I love lots of others. Hunger games were awesome. and I also really loved Beyonders: A world without heroes!! Can’t wait for #2 to come out.
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I read it for the first time in 7th grade and have reread it every other year since then! Never watched the movie though..
There are so many to choose from….But I would probably have to say the Harry Potter series, followed closely by Twilight.
<3 The Little Prince
To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite. Reading The Help now, and it’s great too!
Harry Potter is a close tie with the Sookie Stackhouse books!
The Other Boleyn Girl or Time Travelers Wife
I love anything by Jodi Piccoult! and lots of other authors but she is really amazing
Choosing a favorite book is like choosing a favorite clover flower in a whole field of them.. truly. But, here goes:
Right now I would have to say “The Atonement Child” by Karen Kingsbury or the entire Belgariad and Mallorean series by David Eddings, including Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorceress. Oh … and don’t forget Dee Henderson’s O’ Malley series. Yeah, ok. So I couldn’t pick just one. I tried, though, I really did.
Favorite book? I only get to pick one? But….but….*clings to bookshelf*. Ok, if I have to pick one I would re-read a bajillion times, it would be Summon the Keeper. Sarcastic cat and Hell arguing with itself? It’s pretty darn funny!
My favorite book is “Bag of Bones” by Stephen KIng… I am on book 11 of the Sookie Stackhouse series, I love it! I borrowed them from a friend, but I love them so much I am wanting my own set now!
I’m a big fan of do-it yourself type books, but for fiction….Harry Potter? I haven’t read fiction in so long!
Love the Shopaholic books.
My all time favorite book is Boy’s Life by Robert Mcammon. So, so good.
“These is my Words” by Nancy E. Turner, but I have to admit I’ve never read through a series faster then Twilight & the Hunger games….I think I am a teenager stuck in a 33 year old body when it comes to reading & tv!!
I totally agree with you!!! I’m a 28 year old teenager and have never read through a series (even now) as fast as Twilight and Hunger Games… have you read the Maze Runner series? The third (and final) book in the series just came out, which I am going to buy right when I get out of work today!!! But I have to add that to my list of series I’ve soared through…
I LOVE to read, hard to pick a favorite! I am a huge fan of the Sookie Stackhouse series. I am on book 7 and would love thus box set. My favorite is pretty much anything written by Stuart Woods!
Love to read all books. Reading Harry potter to my kids kids now
My favorite book(s) of the moment are the Twilight series. Would love to read these as I haven’t even watched the HBO series.
I LOVE these books but my favorite book ever is the giver
ohhh man! OBSESSED with these books. I have them all in paperback and they’re all crumbly from being read in the water. They’re actually the only books, besides textbooks, that I’ve read since about 3rd grade. A testament to how AMAZING they are. Alcide is so steammmmy. And the show doesn’t do the books justice!
The Harry Potter books will always, ALWAYS, hold the #1 spot in my heart! And the Shopaholic series and anything by Jodi Picoult are in an intense tie for second place.
Anything written by Nora Roberts – I can’t pick a favorite!
I love Harry Potter books and am so excited that my daughter will be able to read them soon!
Twighlight series, Harry Potter, or Marley and Me
Anything by Jodi Picoult. Thought provoking.reading,for sure!
I’ve enjoyed reading for pleasure quite a bit lately – a big, nice change for me! I just finished reading The Help and I LOOOOOOOVED it! However, I’m also reading Bitter Is the New Black right now and I’m loving that, too!
I have a favorite book series…I love the Shopaholic book by Sophie Kinsella. So cute!
Favorite book? Can’t pick it. Favorite recent book? Hunger Games. Although I could have done without books 2 and 3 in the series.
My favorite books are the Twilight Series and I’ve started reading the Sookie Stackhouse books but have only had time to read 2, so this would be perfect!
Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella
my all time favorite book is The Red Tent
Without a doubt, To Kill A Mockingbird. But my favorite guilty pleasure read is the Twilight series! I am a total Twi-Mom! =0)
I wish this giveaway was sponsored by Eric Northman. Because that would mean he is doing stuff and I love watching him do stuff.
My favorite book? Don’t tell anyone, but it would be basically any book by Julie Garwood.
Favorite book series right now is Matched by Susan Collins, but I love Sookie! Pick me!
My fav is The Fae Series by Karen Marie Moning…must check our her Highlander Series also!!!
My favourite book is definitely The Book Thief. If you haven’t read Zusak you really should, his imagery is wonderful!
I’m coming full cycle back to anything Anne Rice. My all time favorite is The Pillars of the Earth – a pretty deep read (and long -1,000 pages!), but it has EVERYTHING you need in a book.
I am embarrassed… but I would have to say the Twilight Saga, it is written so well.
No matter what, it always seems to come back to the Harry Potter books for me! But I also adore anything by James Herriot for a comfort read, and Sarah Dessen for something cute and romantic. Arianne Cohen’s The Tall Book also has a special place in this vehemently-denies-she’s-over-six-foot girl’s heart.
Fave book of all time? or just recent love? Gahhhhhh….ummmmmm… I have always loved “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Cristie. But recently obsessed with the Hunger Games trilogy.
Confessions of a shopaholic…always makes me laugh.
My favorite book is called Remember Me- can’t think of the author but its so good! And I also LOVE the book in the stackhouse series where Eric loses his memory….so much better than what the show did!!
Hunger Games Series!!
Recently read The Help and already want to read it again. Don’t think I have ever wanted to reread a book, muchless right after finishing it!
Favorite book? I don’t remember who wrote it, but it is called Scarlett. It tells what happens to Scarlett O’Hara after Gone with the wind ends.
The Help
My fav is definitely the Sookie stackhouse series. And I have to say I live how bill says Sookie on the show!
I loved the Hunger Games series and am anxiously awaiting March 2012 for the movie!
My favorite books are written by Emily Giffin – I honestly can’t pick just one.
Growing up King of the Wind- now sad to say Twilight series or anything Johanna Lindsay or Nora Roberts.Sadly, a girl has to get her romance somewhere.
I am a huge Steven King fan!
One of my favorite books of all time is The Pillars of the Earth, which you mentioned in another post!
I’ve wanted to read the Sookie Stackhouse books. Haven’t watched the series or read any of them…
I LOVE this series…don’t own it YET! These and the Stephanie Plum series are my favorites!!! I can’t pick one!
I hope I win. The bunco girls want to start reading them all again for a “book club.”
I love anything by Lorna Landvik. I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.
I love the Vampire Hunter Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton she’s a great writer, I would love to read the Snookie House series on my list too!
Probably Harry Potter, or a Wrinkle in Time…but I love the Sookie Stackhouse series!!
Right now it’s The Help, but I read at least one book a week, so it’s hard to pick a favorite.
“Frankenstein” by Dean Koontz.
One of my favs is Harry Potter. I love TrueBlood on HBO and I heard the books are great.
Just getting started on The Hunger Games right now. Loved “The Help” and I love anything by Stuart Woods and James Patterson………that’s more than one, isn’t it?
I am so hoping to read these!!! I’m a huge fan of the show and Eric…*fans self*.
My favorite book…I have many, but I’m going with The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks. Next week it could change, so good thing you asked today.
My favorite? That’s impossible… LoL I’d have to say something by Nora Roberts or Anne Rice unless it had to do with food or cooking. See Eric cooking would just send me over the edge…lol thanks for the giveaway chance to win!
The Lovely Bones.
My favorite books ever were from when I was younger; the Ramona Quimby series by Beverly Cleary. Those bring back so many memories from my childhood and I still love to read them!!
Stay Here With Me. Robert Olmstead. READ IT. SOOOO beautiful.
The Harry Potter series, Pride & Prejudice, I could go on – my bookshelf is packed with the most random selection!
Eat Pray Love. It makes me want to run away from home for a year, also.
My favorite book is The Hot Zone. Nothing like a good ol’ case of Ebola, yes?
I absolutely love the twilight series! Been looking forward to reading this one tho!
Hmm I read a lot. Not sure I can pick just one favorite. Did enjoy the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series, along with the Twilight and Hunger Games series if you want to go teeny bopper.
Hm. My favorite is House by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti…although ANYTHING by Peretti is amazing!
Anything by Jennifer Weiner! The Mermaid Chair is a favorite, too. My sweet husband and I watch True Blood and have often said that we need to read the stories that launched this show!
I have a million favorite books, so this is tough. I like Chuck Palahnuik, David Sedaris, Jen Lancaster and a bunch of others! I would love to read this series you are giving away, because I have not watched the show at all and can start on the series untainted by the media.
I read a TON, and so many different kinds of books- don’t know that I can pick a fav. Usually what I’m reading at the time is my Fav! Currently I’m reading Younger Next Year.
I recently just finished the Hunger Games series and LOVED it! I’m also a huge fan of Harry Potter.
My favorite book at this time is Double Take: A Memoir by Kevin Michael Connolly. Definitely an inspiring read!!
She’s Come Undone by Wally Lamb. I still read it once every year, all time favorite.
Fried Green Tomatoes, Marley and Me, Twlight, Harry Potter
Oh dear, I’m not sure I can pick a favourite, one I can always read is Coming Home by Rosamund Pilcher, but I’m totally grooving on the Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong at the moment too!
My favorite book is one I just read a few weeks ago. The Paris Wife. It’s about Ernest Hemingway’s first wife. It was so poignant, emotional, and incredibly well written that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.
One book?! Just one!? It isn’t a book but a series – Harry Potter. I started reading it when I was 16 (ten years ago) and it has really helped me through a lot of tough times in my life. You know a book is good when you can sit down and get lost in the words, forgetting about your real life for a couple of hours. I have read and listened to (Jim Dale narrates – truly amazing) the series about ten times over.
PS: Love the new site, ladies
)
My favorite recent series is Harry Potter. Years late on that one but so awesome
loved the entire Harry Potter series… also anything James Patterson writes is #1 with me!
Ohh, I love to read! I would have to say my all time favorite is the Harry Potter series.
I am a huge fan of the show, but have never read the books sadly. My favorite books however would have to be the Twilight series although that probably sounds pretty lame.

One of my favorite book series was Harry Potter. I love murder mysteries too. It’s so hard to choose a favorite.
Lucky by Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, Two Kisses For Maddy by Matt Logelin…
I started reading this series and got distracted. Would love to pick it back up! I read ton a ton but Harry Potter is an old reliable that I always seem to come back to.
My favorite book is actually a series. I loved, loved, loved the Hunger Games. They are so not just for young adults. Can’t wait for the movie!!
Ummm, I was on the waiting list for the first book in this series for SIX MONTHS with the Dallas Public Library. And then we moved. So I never got to start. Isn’t that a really sad story? Recent love are books about knitting (The Beech Tree Knitting Society and Yarn Club and its sequel). Not that I actually knit, but I’ve always imagined it would be fabulous.
I would love to win this so I could give it to a friend. I have read the series and it is my absolute FAVORITE! My favorite in this series is book four…love that Eric! A non-sookie book that I also like is Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson series. So good….
I can not pin point one book that is my favorite. I would love to own these as my own instead of always borrowing them. EEKK what a great give away!
Cant choose one. I love all of Nicholas Sparks books!!
The Outlander series or The Hunger Games trilogy. I just can’t choose!
I loved the book A Separate Peace
Go Ask Alice has to be one of my favorite books. I also enjoyed Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.
Gone With the Wind. Also love The Stand by Stephen King. I’ve probably read each one 20 times!

Everything by Debbie Macomber!
Hunger Games series!
I have to say Harry Potter. And out of those 7, I love books 3 and 6. But I love True Blood and loooove Eric Northman, but I’ve never read the books. This is a good giveaway!
Im gonna be predictable here and say Harry Potter. I want to be more original, but I just love the series.
I love ANYTHING by Danielle Steel!
I love true crime novels.
I loved the Twilight books. I haven’t read any of the Sookie series, but would love to! **hint**
Reading is my fave past time. I love Huger Games, Harry Potter, and Twilight. My fave stand alone book is “Redeeming Love”.
Have “lots” of favorites, but right now it would be “The Help”. Loved it!
Favorite book of all time: Jane Eyre. Great books I just finished: Water for Elephants, The Help, Hunger Games Trilogy.
Not sure I have a favorite, more like a favorite for right now. I just love reading! Right now, “The Help” and “The Brethren”.
My fav book…hmmm love the Twilight series… I’m dying to read this series bc I’m a huge True Blood fan… so much in fact that I made my other facebook account SIM Eric Northman so my SIM could hook up with him! LOL My husband called True Blood and SIMS porn for women! Ha! I need this series!
Favorite ever is Jane Eyre. I really like most Kristin Hannah, Katherine Center, and Elizabeth Noble books. I love reading.
My favorite book is called “The Host.” It’s written by Stephanie Myers, author of Twilight. I’ve read it probably ten times and its like 600 pages. Go me!
My favorite book is Gone With The Wind….I’m a fast reader so this book actually takes me quite a while to get through and it is truly one of the best stories I have ever read. Love your guys’ new site!!
I tend to like series cause I become attached to characters- I love the bridal quartet by Nora Roberts and Pretty little liars:) I have really been wanting to read the Sookie Stackhouse books- thanks for the chance to win them!
I love The Help, currently my favorite book! And I’ve always wanted to read these books.
I also love to read! I really enjoyed the mortal instruments series. I also like Joanne Fluke’s books because they have great recipes in them. Diane Mott Davidson also writes a great series with recipes. Its like two books in one, a great story and a recipe book! I haven’t read the Sookie books but would love a new series to sink my teeth into!
