What other books do you read?

[myng.livejournal.com]

Hi,

I'm newly de-lurked and was commenting on threads elsewhere when I realised that some of us here share the same tastes in similar books (quite a few of us here like the Miles books also). So I was wondering if you all would like to share favourite titles on your bookshelf? I'm always looking for good books to read and think recommendations from people who share my love for some of my fave books would turn out great most of the time.

Shall I begin? Some of my favourite titles aside from The Thief/QOA/KOA:

Sci fic/fantasy/paranormal stuff:
1. The Miles Vorkosigan series, Lois McMaster Bujold
2. The Weather Warden series, Rachel Caine
3. The Temeraire books, Naomi Novik
4. The Archangel books, Sharon Shinn
5. Tigana, Guy Gavriel Kay

Light/Cozy mysteries:
1. The Madeline Bean mysteries, Jerrilyn Farmer
2. Abby Cooper (Psychic eye mysteries), Victoria Laurie
3. The early Stephanie Plum books, Janet Evanovich

YA:
1. Princess Academy/Goose Girl, Shannon Hale
2. Uglies/Pretties/Specials, Scott Westerfeld
3. Summers in Castle Auburn, Sharon Shinn
4. Silver Metal Lover, Tanith Lee
5. Many Heinlein juveniles
6. Some of Meg Cabot's non-princess books
7. The Harry Potters

Currently starting: The Decoy Princess, Dawn Cook (hope this is good!)

That's all from the top of my head...hope this thread hasn't been too out of topic for the Community.

i have a feeling i know what you're saying, the first part of storm front is a little gory to say the least, but is you read the next one i thought they just got better and better (and less gory) i'm eagerly awaiting no.9 but thats not until next year.
anita blake was ok up until about book 5 or so and then it just...i refuse to buy anymore of those books.
i don't think i've read more of the weather warden series cos its not really easy to get hold of cos most bookshops don't stock it so i have to order it off amazon which i rarely do...

Do you have a favourite which you would recommend? I'd like to give it another chance...I've yet to find a good paranormal series that I like that well. I've tried Chairlaine Harris (ok), but have not read Kelly Armstrong or Sherilyn Kenyon (they do paranormal I think).

my fav would have to be either 4 (summer knight), 5 (death masks) or 7 (dead beat), if you've read the first one though i would recommend for go for the next one though fool moon...
i know i mentioned it earlier but catherine webb is a good author, david eddings redemption of althalus is a good book (like eugenides but older)
