My First Book Challenge: Sookie Stackhouse Reading Challenge

Welcome to the Sookie Stackhouse Reading Challenge!

Beth, from Beth Fish Reads, is sponsoring this wonderful challenge!! I'm very excited because this is my very first official reading challenge!! I already own all of these books, so now I just have to work them into my reading schedule.

Here's your chance to catch up on Sookie and all her friends -- living and undead, fully human and not.

It's easy, it's fun, it's for you! And you have an entire year to complete the challenge.

The Rules:

1. Between July 1, 2009, and June 30, 2010, catch up on Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series. No matter if you're starting with book 1 or book 8, you have a year to read all about Sookie. Read Sookie in print, listen to the audio, read an eBook -- format is not an issue.

2. Sign up using Mr. Linky. Put your name in the top box. For the bottom box, please use the URL that links specifically to your blog post about this challenge, not to your blog's home page. (You can get this link on Beth's page)

3. After July 4, Beth will create a post with another Mr. Linky where you can link your reviews so everyone can read them track your progress.

4. If you don't have a blog and want to join in, sign up in the comments here. Later, let us know about your progress by leaving comments on the review link page.

The Books:

Dead Until Dark
Living Dead in Dallas
