It just happens that the last 3 series I've read are about vampires. I'm really not into them though.
Does anyone have any other books or series they would recommend? I LOVED Twilight, really liked VA and am just "eh" about Blue Bloods.
YA is fine with me since they're easy reads. I also love historical fiction.

Right now I'm reading the new book in Sherrilyn Kenyon's League series.
Matched by Ally Condrie was pretty good. It's the first in a new post-apocalyptic series.
The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning was pretty good, I preferred the earlier books to be honest. It's 5 books in that series.
Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward. Hot vampires - think Twilight for adults.
MIdnight Breed series by Lara Adrian- similar to BDB.
Carrie Ryan's Hands of Forest & Teeth, Dead Tossed Waves and Dark & Hollow Places. Another post-apocalyptic series, this one has zombies.
The Hunger Games trilogy.
A lot of people like the Maze Runner (first in a trilogy) but I couldn't get into it.
Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series is good. Long, like 20 books.
Have you read RIck Riordan's Percy Jackson series? I liked it, but I really like Greek mythology. It's 5 books long. He also has a new series based on Egyptian mythology (Kane Chronicles) that's decent. I also like his Tres Navarre series for adults.
Historical fiction: I just finished Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier, who also wrote Girl with the Pearl Earring. It was really good.
I'm trying to get into the Maisie Dobbs series, I just got the 2nd book out of the library.

This. Also, the Millenium Series. I also really liked Kelley Armstrong's series Women of the Otherworld. The first book is Bitten.

Lois Lowry's trilogy- don't think it has a name- The Giver, Gathering Blue and Messenger. Technically YA but with some pretty heavy themes.
