If anyone has any must-reads, I'd be glad to look into them. ^_^ I'm currently looking at the Drizzt books and the Elric saga, but I'm not sure if I'll enjoy them or not. Any insight on those would be helpful if you have read them.
I'm currently not interested in young adult books, but I'll look at every suggestion regardless.

What I love:
- Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books
- Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling
- The Lord of the Rings
- The Coldfire Trilogy
- The Lies of Locke Lamora
- Doctrine of Labyrinths series by Sarah Monette
- Patricia Brigg's books

id suggest "the wayfarer redemption" trilogy and "the axis" trilogy by sara douglass. its really one series, just spit up because there are like 10-20yrs in between. its really good, and complex, and definitely NOT young adult. (prety graphic violence)

i found the first book at a yard sale, and picked it up because the cover looked cool. and then i read it, and loved it.

basically there are 3 main races, the achar [humans(people of the plow)] avar [forest people(people of the horn)] and icarii[mountain/air people (people of the wing)]. there was a war, where the acharites destroyed the other two races (still around, but vastly depleted) and there is a prophesy about the Star Man who will save the world from an evil force called the Destroyer. the first trilogy follows this prophesy. the second follows the children of the characters of the first trilogy as the come face to face with evils of the old world, uncovering the real truth behind everything that happened in the past.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is awesome. It does include some vampires and werewolves, but they're of a completely different and fun flavor than those you probably encountered in Twilight.

i like fable too so right here r some vampire academy sequence-richelle mead rose is a mom or father dhampire (vampire-human mixture) she protects the lissa dragmir (the final interior the royal dragmir family contributors) rose is in a roundabout way linked to lissa rose sences possibility n takes lissa faraway from the academy. wake-lisa mcmann jainie is pulled into ppls desires n shes getting uninterested in it till a million dream comes alongside n it chills her to the bone uglies sequence-scott westerfeld tally lives in a worldwide the place once you turn sixteen u get became enormously yet being enormously isnt so suited depraved gorgeous-melissa marr aislinn has seen faeries all her lifestyles she acts like she cant c them so they dont get her yet faeries start to pay loads of interest to her sleepless-terri clark trinity can stroll by different peoples desires yet whilst a chilly blooded killer is looking her down dan is the only individual she will have confidence-yet can she even have confidence him? uninvited-amanda morone After Jordans boyfriend Michael dumps her and sleeps his way by a million/2 the scholar physique, he then kills himself. purely he didnt dedicate suicide, and hes no longer lifeless. Hes a vampire, and he seems at Jordans window each and every evening, begging her to allow him in. plenty greater yet it is already lots so if u want greater u can msg me or something.
