Utterly:

here are some goodies

Odd thomas.. they are awesome and Odd is really endearing
Black Dagger Brotherhood Jr Ward... lusty and action packed
The DArk Hunter Series--sherrilynn kenyon.. Now I love these books, besides BDB, these are my tops... I love them and they are really good, there is thread for them too. (there are 11 dark hunter books and 3 dream catcher books... i have read them at least twice)
Kresley Cole-- Immortal dark series are good

That is all I can think of right now, but I wll add more when I find more!!!

This would be considered a YA series, but Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan is a good series to read.

Oh, Dean Koontz - The Odd Thomas series -loved the books! And the Gemma Doyle books are also great.

Oh and if you haven´t read yet - Wolfgang and Heike Hohlbein, Magic Moon trilogy!!!! One of the best Fantasy series I´ve ever read and I´m bookseller

Look here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?ur ... in&x=0&y=0

Oh, and Cornelia Funkes Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath - wonderfull books - I can only warmly recommend!!!!

The Hollows series by Kim Harrison!

The Southern Vampire Series by Charlaine Harris!

I love Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation series. They're sort of my guilty pleasure reads. They're historical fiction, but kind of light and fluffy. There are four books out now, with the 5th to be released early in '09 I think.
I'm also obsessed with Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next novels. Those are hard to describe but they're fabulous! The first one is The Eyre Affair and they just keep getting better.

I read the first one when it came out and I like it. I forgot about those. I guess I need to add those to my "to read" list.

? SUGGESTIONS - Fairy Books




duplicate suggestion thread - most of these already have their own threads

I saw where someone had mention Nora Roberts, and I love all of her stuff. Lots of trilogies, always a romance novel but with some major plot out side of the romance. She has a series out now called the Sign of 7. But even better than that is her books as J. D. Robb! It is long series of books starting with Naked in Death (I think). They are all "in Death" titles because the main character is a Female homicide detective. It is a fairly dark series but sooooo good!!!

Ditto on the J.D. Robb. In Death series by J.D. Robb, too many to name but Naked in Death is the first novel.

Outlander series by Gabaldon goes without saying and has been mentioned enough times.

Kushiel's Legacy by Jacqueline Carey. The first trilogy: Kushiel's Dart / Kushiel's Chosen / Kushiel's Avatar. I have this up there with my love of the Outlander series, but warning there are a few "adult" themes in this series that some may not be comfortable with. If you can get past it, its really a fascinating and amazing read.

Light Bearer books by Donna Gillespie. The Light Bearer / Lady of the Light

The Sevenwaters Trilogy: by Juliet Marillier. Daughter of the Forest / Son of the Shadows / Child of the Prophecy

allan folsom- the day after tomorrow, day of confession, the exile, and the machiavelli covenant.

i loved each and everyone of these books. the last two are more of a series. they have the same main character. all are great reads!!

Oh man.... thats all I can think of for now, I really encourage The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor to be read. Hes a screen writer and producer as well as an author, so he wrote the screen plays for his books that hes soon turning into movies as well as producing them. An author who wrote their own screen plays?? You know that those movies are going to be AMAZING =)

Two more great series to devour are:

1. Pawn of Prophecy
2. Queen of Sorcery
3. Magician's Gambit

The first books I read were from V.C Andrews, she has a lot of 5 book series, I couldn't ever put them down! I own a lot of them and want to read some again, its been since high school (I'm 23 now) But they are not quite young adult books, more sexy.

Anyone else read any?

Haa, I have read several of VC Andrews as well! Well, the last ones aren't written by her at all though.

The Flowers in the Attic Series
My Sweet Audrina (very odd)

and I know I read the other one with all the jewel names, but I can't remember them now, it's been too long!
