  • I stopped on the first page of the first Sookie Stackhouse novel. The overdone tropes.

    1. So beautiful woman with tight t-shirt and large breasts.
    2. Feels bad because she can read minds.
    3. Obvious future romantic interest in mysterious man who she can’t read his mind.

    I think there were a couple more. Just on the first page.

    When my book discussion group talked about the book, they said she’d talked about starting as a romance novelist and saw that there was a demand science fiction/fantasy/horror. So, she swapped to writing this crap. Just so formulaic.
