Patron recommends Charlaine Harris on Playaway

Earlier today, Lorraine of Mastic Beach shared a recommendation for one of her favorite series: Sookie Stackhouse (aka Southern Vampire) by Charlaine Harris. Judging from the sparsity of these books on the shelf, she's not the only fan! Lorraine, who is on the 8th book in the series, said she loves how the books pull you in but keep things funny with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. A longtime audiobook listener, Lorraine has come to enjoy the Playaway format over books on CD, in part because the Playaways always pick up exactly where you leave off, even if you have to change the batteries. Her husband jokes that Lorraine looks like a teenager with those earbuds in, but she doesn't mind the good-natured teasing as long as the audiobooks keep coming! And remember, all of the Playaways available at the Community Library are easy to use, come preloaded with batteries, and have free earbuds available upon request at the circulation desk.

For those new to the Sookie Stackhouse series, start with book 1, Dead Until Dark. For those who have finished the series, the Readers' Advisory Librarian recommends Mary Janice Davidson's Queen Betsy the Undead series, starting with book 1, Undead and Unwed, in which the down-on-her luck human Betsy becomes the prophesied queen on the vampires through a humorous series of events. Both series feature tough, funny female protagonists with a little paranormal romance on the side.
