Good book or series?

I knew I liked you!
Yeah, Tamora Pierce stuff was pretty much what I got into after Harry Potter. Before Harry Potter I hated reading, then I read that and liked it. Then I got her Immortals series and finished the first in a day and it was all over. Love her stuff so much. Bored? Well guess I'll reread some Pierce books!
And have you read any of the Juliet Marillier's books? Daughter of the Forest is still like one of my all times favorites and I've read it more times than I can count. But I really did enjoy her Hearts Blood book which was kinda a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, though very different. And Heir to Sevenwaters was interesting and neat, very different from her typical heroine

As it wont ruin anything....I have read the series multiple times now and I STILL laugh each time when the MacHalo is invented...know the scene I am talking about?? 
And yes......head over heels for the main guy.
Oh, another author I really like....Illona Andrews (ok, technically it two authors but thats the name the use) All the books are good but her Kate Daniels series....really like the slow build of the relationship..gives you time to really fall in love with the characters.
Also, Keri Aruthur...really really love her Riley Jenson series. Very good love story there as well
All of these though are definitely adult and tend to be on the graphic/violent side but man, GOOD characters and plot.

Oh, and if looking for just a good romance, often with a bit of a juicy story line, Nora Roberts has some great stuff. Yes, they are romances, but honestly, except for her really old stuff, she tells a great story to go along with it. Often a bit predictable and the characters are not as deep as some series, etc...but I am always entertained and hooked by them
LOVE Juliet Marillier. Her books are so long and so in depth but they're so incredibly good. I read the Sevenwaters books when I was in high school and then spent HOURS combing Barnes and Noble for them one day (I couldn't remember the title or the author lol) and have re-read them multiple times since. I'm going to have to look up her not Sevenwaters books....I vaguely recall buying one a couple years ago. *off to search book collection*
Oh and the Abhorsen books by Garth Nix are incredible. I don't know if anyone has recommended them yet!

This!! ^^ And there's even romance in some of them. Like Guards! Guards!, which is possibly the best one evar. It's from the perspective of the poor guards who have to run in and be haplessly slayed one by one when someone shouts, "Guards! Seize him!"
Seconding the Abhorsen series. I own that one, in hardcover. lol.
Lately I've been on a Patricia McKillip kick. She's probably one of my most favorite authors. Just finished Od Magic, which was really incredible and it had romance. I think I need all her books in hardcover.
Edit: Guards! Guards! is also pretty romantic. Lady Sybil is awesome. That is all.

lol Same here.
And I second pretty much everything Linds said. She has wonderful suggestions. There are a couple she mentioned that I'm still waiting to read.
But Tamora Pierce? AWESOME. I started reading them when I was in grade school, and I still read them all. the. time. I can read them over and over. I will never stop loving those characters.

The diskworld series are the best. It was hard for me to get into them a couple years ago, but that's because I was pretty young, and all of the sarcastic jokes were going over my head. But now I love them to death, and they do have romance, its just a little different then most Like Carrot and Angua, they have the awesomeness relationship, I love reading them. Its one of those books that could never be made into a movie IMO, his writing style is just awesome.
My sister brought over three books of a series called Skulduggery Pleasant, by Derek something or the other. I haven't read them yet, but I imagine that ya'll would like them, because she has the same taste as a lot of you guys.
