I need a new book series...

Mar 19, 2009 14:58

I just finished reading Kim Harrison's 'Hollows' series. It was pretty good. I've read all of John Saul and Dean Koontz. I've found I enjoy the more 'easy-read' series tho. Even though I found Janet Evanovich kind of childish, I read her entire series and mostly enjoyed it. Piers Anthony used to be my favorite author so I'm not against fantasy ( Read more... )

How about the Tanya Huff Blood books? Did I tell you about those already? Her "Smoke and Mirrors/Ashes/Shadows" books are entertaining too, with some of the same characters.

Also, I just started the Sookie Stackhouse books (HBO's True Blood is based on these). There are 8 (soon to be 9) of them and they're a quick read and I'm loving them.

Lots of people have rec'd the Sookie books. I just don't want to read them cause I watch the show (True Blood). On the one hand, I feel like it's a waste of time to read what I've already seen and on the other, I don't want to spoil myself for future episodes. Maybe those are both the same hand?

You may have told me about Tanya and then I promptly forgot about her. I'll go look her up now.

Thanks! :)

I haven't seen the series (don't get HBO and haven't rented the series yet), but one of my co-workers said that the books are more like Sookie's diary...you see more of her thoughts, etc. The series is a lot different that way.

In looking up Tanya Huff, I stumbled upon Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake series -- any experience with that one?

What's in it for me? Booby shots?

The John Sandford Prey series. (each book has the work Prey in the title).

They are detective/cop stories set in minnesota. they read fast and there's a tiny bit of sex. not much as compared to the anita blake series.

Police procedural? Hmm.. eh, not so thrilled. Try again. ;)

kessy gets booby shots and i get scorn?

hrmph.

since, apparently, you like more plot than I do (go figure, you'd think you'd be more shallow than I) may I recommend the box car children series? no sex though ( ... )

Have you tried Terry Pratchett's Discworld fantasy series? fun and funny stuff. Recurring characters but the books can be read as stand-alones.
