2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is to discuss Dead Until Dark, the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris.

Pages: 292 pages

Length: 1 Month (January)

Participants: Brittany, Sunshine, Courtney, Zeejane.

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

I loved this series. I hope you all like it.

I'm so excited! I'm planning on this being my first read for 2021 as well!!!

I started today and I’m through the first 2 chapters! I’m like the story so far, but the chapters are so long. I usually enjoy reading books with shorter chapters over ones with longer chapters.

This really has nothing to do with the plot of the story, it was just something that really annoyed me in Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ Sookie is sitting at the bar drinking with her brother when Bill comes in. Her inner monologue says how drunk she is and that she can’t think straight. A couple paragraphs later she’s getting into her car and driving somewhere to talk with Bill. I just hate how books and movies always seem to make it okay for drunk humans to drive their cars? Please don’t make this seem okay. Sorry, end rant. (hide spoiler)]

Hi readers! Just checking in!
The next book in this series hasn't been suggested or confirmed. If 2 or more of you want to continue with the next book in February, please let us know in the sign-up thread.

Happy reading!
