As the trees sway,
While the wind blows,
When the sun hides,
Before the storm,
I roll up my truck windows.
After its over,
While the sun shines,
Beacuse the rain stops,
If I feel like it,
I go outside to enjoy the calm.

Book Review:Dead in the Family
Do you ever become bored with the average novel? Well, I do, so I settled for Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series. Settled may be an understated term though, obsessed is more like it. This particular book in the series is book number ten: Dead in the Family. Charlaine Harris never upsets me with her books, and this one was a particular favorite of mine.
In these books, Sookie, the main character, surrounds herself with several supernatural creatures such as werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters, and other supernatural creatures. Becoming involved with these fiction characters, Sookie has several near-death experiences. Though this makes the books very interesting, if Sookie wants to keep her precious life much longer, she better make some changes.
I have always had a fancy for the fantasy novels but, as I read the words Charlaine Harris has smoothed onto the paper, I become more and more involved and interested in the books. It is almost as if I could be a character within the novel. This book as well as the others have won a spot in the Top Ten Best Reads in my mind, as well as number four out of one hundred in Amazon's Best Books of 2010 list. That is accomplishment to me.
There are several reviews on the book, but one stuck out to me like a marker in a box of crayons. ,"Mixes humorous Southern-fried fantasy with biting satirical commentary." stated Publishers Weekly, and this is so true to me. This book review states all my jumbled thoughts into one exact, accurate sentence.
Dead in the Family is such a success, and I love to read this series. I would read any book with her name on the cover in a heartbeat. I would also recommend this book as well as the others to any person who asked. I rant about them twenty four/seven, and I do believe that Dead in the Family is a fantastic read and will suffice for my taste in books.
