Book series....looking for a new one
For example, I've read the Left Behind Series...some of the Phillipa Gregory books.....but now I'm looking to get into something again. I am not into vampire -type stories, etc.
Any recommendations?
eta: I was reading the Twilight posts on here....I am really not into Buffy the Vampire slayer etc...are they like that?

They are nothing like Buffy. It is really just a romance story with a twist. I was skeptical also but I am so glad I took the plunge.

Re: Book series....looking for a new one
I cant even tell you HOW many of my coworkers and friends scoffed when I told them to read this book. It sounds SO corny when you try to explain it, but they are really good! Once I got them to try it out they now are OBSESSED with them. The funny thing is they are written for adolescents! I picked it up in the first place last summer when I was looking for good teen lit to recommend to my students!

I loved them too....I would also recommend the Women's Murder Club (if you haven't read those already)

Re: Book series....looking for a new one
If you like murder mysteries and crime solving try the Baily Weggin's series by Kate White... I love them (there are 4 or 5) and they are quick reads.

Re: Book series....looking for a new one
Read Twilght. I am the furthest from a vampire novel fan.
I started reading it on Tuesday. I finished it last night at 2:30am. My first thought this morning was, crap there is no bookstore on the way to the train.
GET IT!
I read all of the Phillpa Gregory novels & liked them too.

Re: Book series....looking for a new one
Thanks for that Kate White rec!
I mostly read series, mostly fun mystery ones like the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.
I also like culinary mysteries the the Goldy books by Diane Mott Davidson. I just started reading a series by Joanne Fluke.
If you want something more hardcore and wonderfully written, the Alex Delaware series by Jonathan Kellerman are fantastic but fairly graphic at times.
I think those are the main ones I'm reading now.
