If you liked hunger games etc, try delirium by lauren Oliver, Uglies by Scott Westerfield z(rubbish book name but great story) and divergent by Veronica Roth.
For something a bit different try Dark inside.0 -
Give Jasper FForde a try. He's got a pretty long Thursday Next series that involves her going into 'Book World', expect to see classic characters and places you've probably read about. Also has a nursery crimes series. It's murder/mystery involving all your favorite nursery rhyme characters told in a darker, crazy witty way. And my favorite..Shades of Grey, which is a crazy inventive book about people being ranked in society by their color-sightedness.0

I'm seconding fifty shades of gray. I freakin' hate reading and in 2 days I finished the 2 out of 3 books from the trilogy. I highly recommend it if you like sex.
It's a sadism, whips and chains, BDSM trilogy And before everyone opens their mouth all appalled at me. I didn't know what it was, bought it, every security guard in the airport stopped me to ask what chapter I was on, and they were all farther. The flight attendant also stopped me and asked about it.
I finished it and left it at my very 'vanilla' moms house one night and in the morning I found it half open in the living room table. I asked her how she was finding it and she said "oh I guess it would be ok for anyone who would be into that kind of thing" and then she told me she was on chapter 16...after one night and staying up late to read it lol. She's now on the second book and has recommended it to several people, including dad. She told a friend in the hospital today that she had to put it down a couple times because it leaves nothing to the imagination and was sick...but I would say that's lies considering she was on chapter 16 :P
50 Shades for sure!!
Also the Hush, Hush series by...Becca Fitzpatrick. The 4th and final book should be out in October, I think
The Time Traveler's Wife
listen to Confessions of a Shopaholic on CD, one of my favorites

I'm a huge werewolf buff. Movies, books, tv shows. I've been hooked since I was a kid. I've been reading Patricia Briggs. She has a whole Alpha/Omega series. But she does other story lines too.0

Cassandra Clare- Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series.
YES, my fav book series!! It's aimed at 15 - 25's (The main character is 15-16) but the story is awesome if you love magical creatures.
I also reccomend The true blood books (10 of them so far), Vamire academy is also an AWESOME series too!0 -
I am an Amish Fiction all the way reader and I just finshed book 3 of Shades of Grey, couldn't put them down. Loved them, how can you not be intriqued by a story like that? Besides I don't want to read about a life just like mine, how boring I live that everyday. besides my guy deffinitly has nothing negative to say about me reading the triology either...... :blushing:0

I LOVED, "The Art of Racing in the Rain". If you like dogs at all you will LOVE this book. You will laugh out loud and probably shed a tear but it's a wonderful read or audio book.0

Oh so THAT's why every woman on Earth is reading it... I did wonder.
However, if you (people reading this thread, not you necessarily, ironanimal) enjoy that, check out the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by A.N. Roquelaire (better known as Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire et al.)
I didn't read them, either. I did however read the Sleeping Beauty series.:bigsmile:
My go to authors are Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn kenyon, JR Ward, Larissa Ione etc.
LunaPhaedre, have you read Kushiel's series by Jacqueline Carey? Her main character's name is Phédre.0 -
