See... I can't even watch True Blood because as much as I adore mindless trashy campy fun, watching Sookie and Bill puts me to sleep. I can only imagine how horrible it would be to be trapped for an entire book in her point of view. That must be what hell is like.
There are ELEVEN books (and a bunch of short stories). I stalled in chapter 4 of book 2.
In contrast I have read 17 Anita Blake books.
I like True Blood, but I can see why the pairing is a bit meh. I mainly watch the show for Jason (who is boring in the books), Hoyt (whos is boring in the books), Jessica (who doesn't exist in the books), Lafayette (who is killed off super quick in the books) and both the Bellfleurs (who are boring and unfunny in the books).
Holy shit. There are 17 Anita Blake books now? That's... sort of awesome. I have to hand it to Laurel Hamilton. She's a total hack writer, but she must be tapping into something to sell that much of a series.
I think I only read up through Obsidian Butterfly, mostly because even though she went to another town and didn't have the usual lame suspects around, she *still* ended up in an S&M vampire bar with some vamp lady trying to have sex with her, lol.
The last one I saw in a bookstore, I read the cover jacket which was about Anita maybe being pregnant and I couldn't stop laughing. I admit, I almost bought that one, because it sounds like one seriously awesome trainwreck of a story, lol.

I have only read one page of the novel. The TV show was a huge improvement.
