I find the Kim Harrison books also take me longer than I would expect them to, not sure why but I guess the pacing tends to not be of the variety that keeps one turning pages?
I've never seen True Blood the TV show, so I don't have any first-hand knowledge of TV!Sookie, but I've heard what you say from a lot of other people, too, which has not made me very interested in watching the TV show :P
And I've bee wanting to try some Mercy Thompson -- I've heard really good things about it -- but kept coming across later books in the series. Is this a series that would be OK to read out of order, or should I really try to start at the beginning?
I was going to say that I hadn't read any Kat Richardson, but ms_geekette pointed out that I actually have, in the Mean Streets anthology. It was my favorite of the stories by new-to-me authors there (so, favorite out of 3), but apparently did not strike me enough to stick in my mind. I did like that the protagonist had a ferret though :) So maybe I should check out more of her stuff, especially now that I've been to Seattle.
I'd recommend reading the Mercy Thompson ones in order as the stories build up on each other. They're an easy read as well. And like ms_geekette said - the "Alpha&Omega" series is good as well ...
And I also recommend reading the Kat Richardson ones in order ... :D
Oh good, I'm really loving that this post has turned into a rec frenzy for everyone, and also led to a friending -- really the best thing that can happen out of these sorts of memes :D
