Charlaine Harris pratar om Sookie Stackhouse böckerna
Författaren Charlaine Harris som har skrivit Sookie Stackhose novellerna som True Blood serien är baserad på berättar för La Times att det ''troligen'' bara kommer bli två till böcker efter den 12:e...
“Dead Reckoning,” the 12th installment in author Charlaine Harris‘ Sookie Stackhouse mystery series, is set to arrive this May — not long before the hit TV series inspired by the franchise, HBO’s “True Blood,” returns for a fourth season — but the novelist now is looking ahead to the conclusion of her long-running saga.
“Truthfully, the next two books will probably be the last two books in the series,” Harris said last week. “I still love Sookie, but I’m beginning to want to write something else, and Sookie’s kind of taken over my life. I was able to write other things for the first few years I was involved in Sookie, but then after the start of the television show she took over so much of my time because of my increased publicity obligations that it’s been very hard to write other things, and I really need to do that.”
Harris says even though she’s a regular viewer of the show, she sometimes is surprised by how graphic it can be, particularly when it comes to the amorous adventures of Sookie’s brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten).
“Of course, the television shows things that I only allude to,” Harris said. “I’ve had some moments where I have kind of covered my eyes a little bit. My gosh, there is a huge amount of skin. I guess I just don’t see that when I’m writing so much. In the books, you know Jason’s a horndog, you know that, but knowing it and seeing it are two different experiences.”
“I think all the actors are very fun,” she said. “I think Alan’s genius lies in picking the right person for the right role. They’re all talented and doing a great job. There are some plot lines that have surprised me, but I know that they know where they’re going — I just don’t know because it’s not where I went. So I can only wait to see what’s going to develop.”

Sookie Stackhouse novellerna måste komma till ett slut..
Alla goda saker kommer alltid till ett slut och det verkar som om Sookie Stackhouse serien av Charlaine Harris snart slutar. Även om det är sorgligt att se slutet, är det tur att det finns så många böcker i serien som man kan alltid komma ihåg.
Medan "Dead Reckoning", den 12: e delen i Sookie Stackhouse serien, som kommer komma fram i maj - inte länge innan "True Blood", återvänder för en fjärde säsong - så ser romanförfattaren fram emot till slutsatsen av hennes långvariga historia.
“Truthfully, the next two books will probably be the last two books in the series,” Harris said last week. “I still love Sookie, but I’m beginning to want to write something else, and Sookie’s kind of taken over my life. I was able to write other things for the first few years I was involved in Sookie, but then after the start of the television show she took over so much of my time because of my increased publicity obligations that it’s been very hard to write other things, and I really need to do that.” säger Charlaine Harris.
I fråga om "True Blood" är det ibland mycket chockerande: t.ex förra säsongens (bokstavligen) head-turning sexscen mellan Bill (Stephen Moyer) och Lorena (Mariana Klaveno). Harris säger, som en vanlig betraktare av showen, att hon ibland är förvånad över hur grafisk de kan vara, särskilt när det kommer till Sookies bror Jason (Ryan Kwanten). “Of course, the television shows things that I only allude to,” säger Harris. “I’ve had some moments where I have kind of covered my eyes a little bit. My gosh, there is a huge amount of skin. I guess I just don’t see that when I’m writing so much. In the books, you know Jason’s a horndog, you know that, but knowing it and seeing it are two different experiences.”
Men hon var snabb med att berömma skådespelarna, i Säsong 3, som växte till att omfatta varulvar, shaman och scene-stealing vampyr kungen av Mississippi Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare). “I think all the actors are very fun,” säger hon, “I think Alan’s genius lies in picking the right person for the right role. They’re all talented and doing a great job. There are some plot lines that have surprised me, but I know that they know where they’re going — I just don’t know because it’s not where I went. So I can only wait to see what’s going to develop.”

Bokens handling:
With her knack for being in trouble’s way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte’s, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. But Sookie suspects otherwise and she and Sam work together to uncover the culprit – and the twisted motive for the attack. But her attention is divided. Though she can’t ‘read’ vampires, Sookie knows her lover Eric Northman and his ‘child’ Pam well – and she realises that they are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, she is drawn into the plot -which is much more complicated than she knows.
Caught up in the politics of the vampire world, Sookie will learn that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human – and that there is a new Queen on the board…

Nytt om Dead in the family! SPOILERS
Over at Paperbackdolls.com, their friend Hope has managed to get her hands on the upcoming and much anticipated tenth installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series and has written a review. It’s good to see some of those loose ends tied up in this edition, but as she mentions, it left her craving even more.
Here’s the review:
When the opportunity to get an advance copy of the latest Sookie Stackhouse novel presented itself, I did what any fan of Charlaine Harris’s wonderfully quirky “rural fantasy” series would do: I pounced on it and then proceeded to abjure all my responsibilities in order to devour it immediately. Happily, it was a satisfying read, but—as usual—it left me craving more.
Dead in the Family—the 10th and latest installment in the New York Times bestselling series about a telepathic barmaid from Louisiana—begins with Sookie’s physical and mental recovery from her torture at the hands of the vicious fae at the end of the previous book, Dead and Gone. Sookie will never again be the same person we knew and loved from the earlier books, but this new, edgier Sookie is not without appeal, not least of which is because of her new found practicality and proactive approach to her problems. She is also less inclined to angst over what she has seen as her moral failings and gradual evolution into a survivalist. Now if she could just get over her self-esteem issues . . . .
Sookie is understandably more cautious and less trusting now, but she is still willing to take some risks to help those she cares about—and fortunately this time she doesn’t suffer greatly as a result. Her willingness to help people is one of her best qualities, and I enjoyed seeing her regain some of her old moxie and be the “rescuer” instead of the victim. I especially liked seeing her bully Eric when he most needed it . . . and speaking of Eric, this book reveals even more facets of his fascinating and complex character; Eric is, as Ms. Harris herself said, “large and in charge”, here.
As always, trouble surrounds Sookie, but for once her brother Jason is not one of her problems; he’s finally decided to “man up” and give his sister some support, something she can always use. She even manages to spend some quality time with her family: Jason, her telepathic five-year-old cousin, Hunter, and—most surprisingly—her cousin Claude, who seems hungry for fairy companionship, if only with his slightly-fae cousin. That’s enough to make even the chronically self-absorbed Claude work a bit on his social skills… And maybe there’s a little more to his request to bunk with Sookie than first meets the eye.
But troubles abound, and Sookie is drawn into Eric’s family crisis and more of Alcide’s pack issues, while danger looms in the form of a vengeful fairy and the discovery of a body in Sookie’s woods. As if these problems weren’t enough, Sookie must also deal with the ongoing danger she faces — now that Sookie has settled into a relationship with her Viking vampire, she is a target for anyone who wants something from Eric. As a result, Eric decides that forewarned is forearmed, and Sookie gains some insight into the vampires’ inner workings. But her usual vampire issues are soon superceded by a new one in the form of Eric’s maker, Appius Livius Ocella, and his newest child, Alexei Romanov, who arrive at Sookie’s house most unexpectedly. As Eric struggles with his family conflicts, Sookie sees a new side to her Viking—one that will forever change how she perceives him.
Meanwhile, Sookie hasn’t forgotten about her ex-boyfriend Bill and lends a hand in his recovery from the silver poisoning he contracted while rescuing her in Dead and Gone. Bill seems unconcerned about his failing health, so Sookie uses stealth to find a remedy . . . with some unexpected, and satisfying, results. For the most part, Sam is back to his supportive self—despite the issues the Were’s Great Reveal is causing him. Meanwhile, Alcide is finding out that being pack leader is no picnic.
Ms. Harris recently commented that she feared the “Shakespearean ending” to this book was perhaps “too over the top,” but I found the conclusion entertaining and satisfying, though of course it left me wanting more.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read, and I liked seeing Sookie’s growth and determination as she adjusts to the demands of her life in the supernatural community. While sometimes it seems she is still less than understanding of her loved ones, she has come a long way in a short amount of time. It was also just fun to read about good things happening for Sookie, considering how much hardship she’s had to endure. I love that—no matter how many times I read the books and how much I follow Ms. Harris’s comments—I am still surprised by some of her plot and character twists. I always enjoy her talent for creating realistic, believable characters. And this book saw a return of the humor that originally made me such a fan of the series. I thought Pam got the best lines this time, but Eric, Claude, Sookie, and even Terry had their moments.
Dead in the Family is an excellent addition to the Sookie series. It answers several lingering questions readers have had, and it resolves more plot points than it introduces, so it stands on its own better than the previous installment did. I am really looking forward to the next book to see how Sookie deals with the ongoing threats to her, and, well, to see if she is ever going to find anything interesting in that attic. ;-)

Dead in the family, tionde boken SPOILERS
Den tionde boken i Sookie Stackhouse serien kommer ut i Maj 2010
'' A review Of Dead in the Family By Charlaine Harris has revealed some book spoilers. Some really interesting historical re-writing is taken place apparently. Enter at your own risk''
''Still reeling from the deaths of her fairy cousin, Claudine, and many others in 2009's Dead and Gone, Sookie Stackhouse struggles with paranormal politics in her entertaining if slow-moving 10th outing. When Claudine's triplet, Claude, appears at her doorstep, Sookie reluctantly allows him to move in. The government threatens two-natures with mandatory registration, and tensions run high in the local Were pack. Then Eric's maker, a Roman named Appius Livius Ocella, arrives without warning, bringing along Alexei Romanov, whom he rescued from the Bolsheviks and turned into a vampire. Though the action often builds too slowly, the exploration of family in its many human and undead variations is intriguing, and Harris delivers her usual mix of eccentric characters and engaging subplots.''

KLAR!!!
*SPOILERS FRÅN BOKEN!!!
Några saker jag tänkte på:
- Att Tara inte finns med alls XD Jag tror han har tagit JB's plats... Så nu e jag väldigt nyfiken hur hon har skrivit andra boken eftersom säsong 2 handlar mkt om Tara...Hoppas hon är med i andra istället...
- När bill ska till New Orleans får man inte alls veta vad han gör där... Hela boken e ju från Sookies PoV (point of view = ähh vad e det på svenska?? XD men typ hennes vinkel... Det e hennes tankar o vad hon ser.) Så man får ju veta mkt mer i serien än i boken om tex vad bil gör o så..
- Början av boken var väldigt lik serien.. Hur dom träffades o hur det gick till med the Rattreys...
- Det e mkt mindre ''barnförbjudet'' i boken än i serien.. Jag tkr faktiskt att det e onödigt att dom har lagt till allt sånt..
- Jag tycker helt klart att det e sååå taskigt att dom har gjort Bill till ''HJÄLTEN'' i serien o Eric till '' skurken'' -.- I boken e ju eric mkt snällare... Eric dödar inte ens människor typ för att han e så gammal o behöver inte så mkt blod.. O alla fang bangers vill ju att han ska ta från dom så han behöver inte döda... O Bill blir aldrig stekt i solen elr offrar sitt liv för sookie... o DET E ERIC SOM RÄDDAR SOOKIE FRÅN LONG SHADOW INTE bill -.- Eric skickar blommor till sookie när hon e på sjukhuset <3 Jag som gillar Eriv mer än Bill blev lite arg för att dom har gjort så -.-
Det finns säkert mer men kmr inte på nåt just nu.. Nåt ni tänkte på när ni läste?? Jag kmr säkert på mer som jag skriver sen ^^
