I love the Circle Trilogy by Nora Roberts. Its 3 books of fantasy with wizards, vampires, Goddesses, shape-shifters, with romance, magic and warfare all mixed in.

If you like cats and fantasy, I would recommend "The Catswold Portal" by Shirley Rosseau Murphy. About a race of people who live inside the earth that are shape-shifters - to cats, of course!

i like everything Nora Roberts writes - her romances as well as her near-future police procedurals under the pen name of J. D. Robb.
Angels and Daemons was really good. I would read it before the movie comes out
I like Nora Roberts too.. Are you talking about the "In Death" series? Theyre in like 2060. Ive read a few of those, they are really good. BFs aunt just ordered a few more the other day.Originally Posted by laureen227
it's really, really good - & so are her Joe Grey books - about cats that can talk!

yes, i have the whole series [except for the newest one]. i really, really like those!
I know this thread is old, but I've been on a reading kick lately, so figured I'd revive it.
I recently read "The Time Traveler's Wife" and it is my new favourite book. It's a love story with a sci-fi twist and extremely well written.
I also read James Patterson's "Suzanne's Diary to Nicholas" in a single evening. I don't think it's going to win any literary awards, but it was a good, quick read and a touching story.
I'm currently reading "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" and am hooked, although it is a little expository for me.
I usually try to alternate between something deeper, more dramatic and demanding of my time/energy, to something more light-hearted and easy to read. For easy to read, Nicholas Sparks is usually a good bet, although I sometimes find myself rolling my eyes at his corny dialogue. It doesn't stop me from getting hooked, however.
I just placed a hold on "Dewey" at my public library. I'd never thought about reading books about cats. They seem to be underappreciated in literacy, compared to dogs.

I just finished The 19th Wife, by David Ebershoff... very interesting... it has a modern Mormon/Firsts (those who still practice polygamy) mystery, as well as intertwining the memoir (I think it's real) of Ann Eliza Young, who was one of Brigham Youngs' wives and after leaving him, helped put an end to polygamy.
now I'm on to a classic... The Adventures of Augie March.

I'm currently reading the outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. I read "Outlander" and now i'm on the second book of the series which is called "Dragonfly in Amber". It's very interesting- set in Scotland and involves time travel from 1950s to 1750s. It is amazing IMO because it combines historical fiction with romance and the protagonist is a woman- Claire who I think it a really good role model ...Anyone read those? I really like this thread, because I always go through these stages where I don't know what to read, it's hard to just go to a bookstore and pick up a book and actually like it. I will take some of these recommendations as soon as I am done with the outlander series..

Fiction/fantasy stuff.
I'm finally catching up on this thread myself -- there are some intriguing rcommendations here! A few comments...
Can't beat Preston & Childs, singly or as a team!
)
Also, I had a lucky find at a garage sale the other day: Four Corners Of Night by Craig Holden. It's essentially crime fiction, but done with a depth that's very rare in the genre. And the guy writes so well, it's a joy to read!
Really? I used to be a big Crichton fan, but I didn't care for Prey at all. Maybe I should give it another chance.
Absolutely! It's even better than The DaVinci Code, and I can hardly wait for the movie! (Yes, I know it's unfashionable to like The DaVinci Code, but I do. So there!
I agree that Stephen King lost his way for awhile there with Lisey's Story and Cell and a couple of others (though even at his worst, he's always intriguing) -- but I think Duma Key is one of his all-time best! I've already re-read it once, and loved it even more the second time. Highly recommended!

i'm currently reading Tad Williams' Otherland series. it's sci-fi. the books are long, about 800-1000 pages but hard to put down
Lots of good recommendations in this thread I posted asking the same question
