Most of these are a series.  The Sookie books are based off oh HBO's hit series True Blood.  I have been watching the show and now I am eager to read the books! The Sisterhood series is another series that I have not read yet, but want to.  I have read the first one, way back in the 9th grade.  The Princes series I started to read a long time ago, but never finished...so now I can! They are an easy read and that is why I am reading them.  I started the The Hunger Games while I was in Colorado.  I had to put the book on hold so I could read these, so I am once again in the middle of it!
