    I love Amado and South Americans in general! Calories burned by reading? Anyone?:)

    The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
    The Forest of Hands and Feet trilogy (YA And Zombie-score!)
    The Samuel Johnson books by John Connolly
    Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion (another YA/zombie combo)
    Nevermore by Kelly Creagh
    Paper Towns by John Green
    Angelfall by Susan Ee (my ALL time favorite YA book and it's being made into a movie :heart: )
    Hollowland by Amanda Hocking (yep, more zombies lol)

    Zombie, adult:
    White Trash Zombie series by Diana Rowland

    steampunk:
    Wicked as They Come (Blud series), by Delilah Dawson
    Parasol Protectorate series by Gali Carriger (my second favorite author)
    The Immortal Empire series by Kate Locke
    Tales of the Underlight series by Jax Garren
    Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series by Philippa Ballantine

    Urban fantasy:
    Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews-this series is insanely awesome!

    Currently reading a YA paranormal romance based on an Edgar Allen Poe poem called Ashes on the Waves, by Mary Lindsey

    The Fever Series(also known as The Mackayla Lane Chronicles) by Karen Marie Moning is my absolute favorite. It's categorized as romance but I think that's deceiving as the books individually are really more urban fantasy.

    Second to that is probably the Kate Daniels Series by Ilona Andrews.

    I liked the first one but for some reason never picked up the second one in the series. I'll have to add it to my never ending 'to read' list :)
