*laughs* Ohhh, welcome to the world of the Cullens
Once you go Cullen you'll neve go back 
Honestly, I was like that, I put off reading them for so long and then was completely and uttely hooked. Although I am a bit like obsessed fan girl right now. lol Wait till you get to Breaking Dawn...I have most of the Kim Harrison book, but I can't get past the first few chapters of the first book for some reason
I don't know why...Right now I'm reading Scarpetta by Patricia Cornwell. I hate to say this, after 20 years, I think Scarpetta has had her day. It's interesting enough...but there is something missing.
I recently read Heartsick by Chelsea Cain. The relationship between the lead detective and the female serial killer was astounding. It was such a gripping read!

Oh wait until you read further...*claps hands excitedly*
That was my first reaction to Edward too. I am a firm believer that evey girl/woman should have at least one Edward Cullen in her life - not a vampire, lol, just a gallant gentleman. Although towards the later books, I became a big fan of Jacob...I'm a sucker for a smart ass with a sarcastic mouth

I've read all the BAD books, mainly because SK is one of my heroines in the literary world. I like them - a lot. However, they are not as dark or as intense as her Dark Hunter books. In her full length BAD books there is not much sex - so if you are looking for hot, steamy sex you my be disappointed. But they have some great plots and are more action/adventure types.
Now, if you are looking for something steamy, I'd go with Jaid Black. Both are good but I'd go with Strictly Taboo.
Hope that helps some!

Thank you ShyVixen;
It helps I've run low on things to read and I hate to buy a book and not be able to finish it because it's so bad.
Kim Harrison is coming out with a new series in May
Once Dead, Twice Shy (Madison Avery, Book 1) I hope it is good

Sounds fab! I love that series!
I've never read that series for some reason.
I got the Black Dagger Brotherhood Insiders Guide for xmas, so off in a while to sit back and read a few snippets.

I've just finished the Twilight series for about the 2nd or 3rd time I think. Still completely in love with Edward though
Rigt now, I can't afford anything new, and I'm really, really bad at returning loans to the library, so will trawl through my bookcase again.
Matthew Reilly is always worth a look in, especially 7 Ancient Wonders and 6 Sacred Stones. The action is fast paced, but some of the ideas presented in regards to the ancient wonders, sun cults, dark stars, ancient super races etc is pretty mind boggling.
I also need to go through Isobelle Carmody's "Obernewtyn" series again. Sure, it's pitched at younger readers, and I *did* start the series when I was in grade 3, but the last one is due late this year and I need to be prepped. It's an interesting tale of a post apocolyptic world, where relgious fervour rules the day and the misfits with the extraordinary mental abilities must hide.
And that might be all I get to in 2009 cos I don't think Lehninger's Principles of Biochemistry counts as pleasure reading

Matthew Reilly is always on my must buy list. I read Temple back when I was 17 and it still remains one of my favourite books.

*twitches at the mention of Twilight* I'm complete Twilight 'fan girl' right now.
I haven't read a Linda Howard book for years, but Death Angel sounds interesting.
I'm about to finish Death Angel by Linda Howard but I don't want it to end!

Her books are really romances but they have enough action and storyline in them I can still really get into them.
This one had someone come back from the dead!
Another one, Killing Time, had time travel in it.
A couple, To Die for and Drop Dead Gorgeous had a lady so funny it made me laugh throughout the book.
I love a lot of her books.

I've read her earlier books like To Die For and I think one was called Kiss Me While I Sleep...or something like that lol I enjoy her blend of romance and action. I've had Drop Dead Gorgeous on my shelf for a while but never got around to reading it.
Once I'm done with All U Can Eat next up is Lover enshrined by JR Ward. I've already read it but it's one of my fave series.

I LOVED To Die For and Drop Dead Gorgeous. She writes so well that I often want more of the story with those characters. Her sex always has D/s elements. Her female leads almost always end up with a policeman of some sort. I've heard she's married to one! I think she might be kinky. LOL.

LOL Well I write kink and I'm kinky...so I would say yes, she is kinky! and oh, she's married to a policeman? See now that explains it! I just thought she had wild fantasies about men in uniform...
