I just finished reading the entire twilight series, 3 books, in 10 days. I have never been into reading, until now. I am just so tired most of the time still and its march in cleveland, do I need any better of an excuse? One negative is that my back really hurts from sitting and reading all day. Has that ever happened to anyone else?
Anyhow, I am reading a book called Outlander by Diana Galbadon, and its pretty good, but can't hold a candle to stephenie Myers series.
I need suggestions. I like the idea of series, because less character developement, it has to have romance, and be a fairly easy read, and must be a page turner. I want something truly indulgent! I know this is a tall order, any help?

You have come to the right place! Ok so here are some books that I am reading and I like right now-
Poison Study-by Maria V. Snyder
It's about a girl who is going to be excuced, but her life is spared when she agrees to taste the comanders food for poison, there are 3 in this series, I really liked this, kinda fantasy but still good.
Shopaholics- by Sophie Kinsella
Well any book aby her is super funny. There are a ton in this series and they are laugh out loud funny. She is british so she uses the f-bomb a few times.
Atonement- by Ian McEwan
They made this into a movie. Super Romantic War story.
I have a ton of other books that I like but I feel like such a nerd going on about books so if you want more suggestions let me know and let me know what you decide to read!
thanks Rach! I will email you about this!
Have you read the "sisterhood of the traveling pants" series? I know that these books sound childish, but I really liked them...better than Twilight actually. And I rarely like books. Try them out!
I have read the first one....I guess I want more romance because they weren't quite page turners for me. Thanks for the suggestion!
My favorite book is 'Mara, daughter of the Nile' by Eloise Jarvis McGraw. it isn't a series, but its an easy read and its got LOTS of good stuff in it.
I don't know what your feeligs are aboug Harry Potter, but I absoltely love those books.
You know I highly recommend Harry Potter... I don't think we have the same taste in books though... so I can't be much help to you! I just started a new series... I'll let you know how it goes once I'm more into it.
lots of people left comments on my blog, if you want to check out my post titled "books" in febuary. i just finished reading "the davinci code" and really liked it (although I had already seen the movie). anyway, check out my post back in february.
I have a few suggestions for you:
The Goose Girl series by Shannon Hale- There are three books. She is from SLC. They are also for young adult readers. They are just as fun to read as Twilight. They have quite a bit of romance, but not as much as the Twilight series.
or
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith- One of my favorite books ever! Not a series though.
or
I have heard that The Children of the Promise series is really good. Although I haven't read them myself. They are written by Dean Hughes, and LDS author. They are set in the time of WWII and follow peoples stories. I am assuming they are similar to The Work and the Glory series. I am going to read them soon.
I will send you an invite to goodreads.com. It is a fun website where you can see what books your friends are reading and their ratings on books. Sorry about the long post. Hopefully I was helpful.
melanie, will you email you so I can get your email address.

hey, I like the new look for the blog. :) Yeah, the idea was to make it seem like the stepsister was the one talking until the very end when you realize it's really Cinderella herself. I wondered if that would come through. I'll have to tweak it a bit.
remind me friday and I'll send some adventure/ romance books. From page one they keep you hooked. seriously.
