Good morning! I just got a kindle for christmas and I would love to read a good book, but so far I have not found one that I want to read. Can anyone suggest a good ficton book or series of books that I could check out. Here are my loves and my suggestions for you:


Sookie stackhouse book series (which true blood is based off of)
Twillight series (Love, Love Love)
Host- (great one, can't wait for the movie)
Dan Brown's books- Great!!
House of night book series (love, Love, pre-ordered the next book already)
Anything from Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, Walk to remember etc..)
Harry potter series ( so creative, just wow- Great read)
The Hunger Games!!
"NEW" Delirium, Pandemonium & Requiem by Lauren Oliver (These are Great!)

I like a good series, so I can get invested in the characters, Not a big Steven King reader since his work gets drawn out to no resolution, which is SO frustrating. I don't like to be able to see the plot coming. And if it makes you cry, I want to read it!!! Thanks for the suggestions.

Ken Follett's The Pillars Of The Earth, and the sequel, World Without End. Great books, and long...fantastic reads.

I got a kindle also and the first book I bought was Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

...

Looks like a good 'un!

The Art of Racing in the Rain. It's not part of a series, but it's very good.

You seem to enjoy some of the same reads that I enjoy...my favorite authors are Laurell K Hamilton (Anita Blake series and also Princess Meredith series, and dont be discouraged by the title "Princess Meredith" lol. Also, I absolutely love Sherrilynn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series. Another good read was The Golden Compass, it started out slow in the first book but if you make it through the first 50-60 pages it is just an amazing read after that point and even if you already saw that movie and didnt like it I would still give the book a shot as I absolutely loved the books but didnt care much for the movie.

Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series.

Clive Cussler's OREGON series, action packed, and you never know what going to happen! :buddies:

Check out the free books on the Kindle Site there are many good reads. Janet Evanovich, Debbie Macomber all have a book series. If you like games Shuffled Row and Every Word are free.

James Patterson

Lot of good series out there, some are still ongoing. I have read a lot of Robert B. Parker; all the old Spenser stories, then the Sunny Randall series and presently the Jesse Stone series, these are detective-type novels, but if you get into characters...

Also Robert Crais has a couple of good series in the Elvis Cole and the Joe Pike series.

For something a little different you might try Janet Evanovich, she has series with that is pretty entertaining with Stephanie Plum, a 20-something bounty hunter in Trenton, NJ.

Based on yore list I would suggest Hunger Games.

Since you like the Stackhouse series you may enjoy MaryJanice Davidson's Undead series. Betsy, hit and killed by a car, returns as the prophesied Queen of the Vampires. She's not very good at the job at first. Cute and easy reads.

Another that’s surreal but set in modern times is Mike Carey’s Fix Castor series. He’s an exorcist in London who takes care of ghosts that are turning up with more and more frequency. Fix is intelligent, reckless and very sarcastic. I’m constantly looking up words with these books, Carey will def expand your vocabulary but it’s fun!

Try James Patterson's Maximum Ride Series (since you like sookie and house of night series, yoou'll probably like this one). I have a nook and was able to check out the first few ebooks in the series from the library. He also has a series called the "Women's Murder Club" series that is very action paced.

:yeahthat: The Alex cross series is spot on too. (I've read all the ones that you've listed and I love Patterson and Koontz as well).
The Maximum Ride Series is for tweens though.

I just realized that with my nook I can check out ebooks online from st marys library...awesome!:yahoo:

Yea, but it's better than the Sookie series. :lol:

GASP! How dare you! :cds:

I got a kindle also and the first book I bought was Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

I just finished reading it. Thanks for the suggestions. Now to pick another one....

Based on yore list I would suggest Hunger Games.

OK, I'm taking your word for it. I just downloaded it to my Kindle. I'll let you know.. Thanks for the suggestions!!!

Anyone who likes murder mystery type stuff should check out Lisa Gardner. I'm on the second book of her DD Warren series (she also has another series, I think) and they are so good! I stayed up until 2 last night because I just couldn't put the book down. I haven't liked a good mystery in forever, so I was excited to find her books. She almost outranks my favorite, Linda Fairstein, but they're just different enough to stand on their own. Linda Fairstein's books are very Law and Order SVU, but Lisa Gardner focuses just on the detective side.

Based on yore list I would suggest Hunger Games.

All I can say is WOW. The Hunger games was amazing!!! Actually I've read all three books in the series already. I couldn't put them down! What an amazing story. Have you read any of the writers other books? I need a rest, but I'm going to check out the rest of her stuff and give them a try. Thank you for the wonderful suggestion. The Huger games series is going on my list of favorites!!

Also, the first book in the series (Alone) is only $5 on the Kindle.

I finally finished Alone. It was very good. I'll be working on Hide soon. Thanks for the suggestions.

I read all 3 books last week and I loved them! I am currently reading the newest book if the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost. You might like this series based on the other books you liked.

A nice, light, and fun read are the books from the Chet and Bernie series by Spencer Quinn. They are mysteries but from Chet the dog's point of view. Predicatble but enjoyable.

I finally finished Alone. It was very good. I'll be working on Hide soon. Thanks for the suggestions.
Glad you like them! After reading a few they start to get a little formulaic so I took a break after starting the first of her other series.

In the meantime, I've also read Water For Elephants, which was cute. Nice and light with a happy ending. Right now I'm reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Good good book. I came across the movie on Netflix, so I put it in my queue (haven't seen it yet). When I saw it was based on a book, of course I picked up the book first. I'm really glad that I didn't see the movie first (or read any spoilers) because the way the author kind of nonchalantly and slowly reveals what is actually going on is very good. I'm forcing myself to read it slowly so that it's not over too quickly.

I finally finished Alone. It was very good. I'll be working on Hide soon. Thanks for the suggestions.

I just finished Alone today.. going to go ahead and order the next one

I need a new book/series to start. Has anyone read anything recently that they could suggest?

Anything by Baldacci

God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales by Penn Jillette

"Amazon.com Review: Not only can the man rant, he can write. From the larger, louder half of the world-famous magic duo Penn & Teller comes a scathingly funny reinterpretation of The Ten Commandments. They are The Penn Commandments, and they reveal one outrageous and opinionated atheist's experience in the world. In this rollicking yet honest account of a godless existence, Penn takes readers on a roller coaster of exploration and flips conventional religious wisdom on its ear to reveal that doubt, skepticism, and wonder -- all signs of a general feeling of disbelief -- are to be celebrated and cherished, rather than suppressed. And he tells some pretty damn funny stories along the way. From performing blockbuster shows on the Vegas Strip to the adventures of fatherhood, from an on-going dialogue with proselytizers of the Christian Right to the joys of sex while scuba diving, Jillette's self-created Decalogue invites his reader on a journey of discovery that is equal parts wise and wisecracking."

I just finished this series. It was cute. It was kind of 'fluffy' but I finished the series which like 8 books:

Amazon.com: How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake, Book 1) (9780060751968): Kerrelyn Sparks: Books (http://www.amazon.com/Marry-Millionaire-Vampire-Love-Stake/dp/0060751967/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314633549&sr=8-1)

A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin

it's a pretty awesome series. you'll thank me for the recommendation :P

...




Lesbian pulp fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian_pulp_fiction)

The Janet Evanovich series - hilarious
The Sue Grafton series
Finding Jack - not a series but a really good read

Ok, so I need a new book to sink my teeth in. Any new series I should try?

A series I enjoyed and didn't think I would is the Wideacre series by Philippa Gregory. Historical and a bit disturbing but kept me interested.

Not a series but "The Light Between Oceans" by M. L. Stedman was good too. As was "I Couldn't Love You More" by Jillian Medoff.
