900219 i neever read any of these


message 2: by Steph (new)

427755 I've only read Twilight (out of these books) and I can't say that wins best paranormal romance. I could think of twenty others that are much better, but Twilight wins by default, I guess.


message 3: by Toni (new)

310494 I am not familiar with most of these books, but 'Remote Control', was terrific, witty, original and fun to read. Some very scary parts dealing with heights made me feel that I was in the same place as the characters in the book and I had to hold tight to chair.


message 4: by Brittany (new)

787108 Stella Price is an author to watch. I wish her all the best with her novels. I love the ones I've read and look forward to those I haven't read yet.




message 5: by Candace (new)

1253385 You left off the best ones! I loved the Nora Roberts "Key" trilogy as well as her "Morrigan's Cross" series. Those are the ones I would have voted for. I don't think the rest even hold a candle!


message 6: by shanah (last edited Jan 26, 2009 10:47PM) (new)

1918017 I was only knew and read the Twilihgt Saga series from these list. Stephanie give us kindly different of love story eventhough just fantasy....amazing!!!!.
I like it so much, this is what i looking for. Almost perfect.......especially the plot. BRAVO for your stepahine...!!!!!


message 7: by Melissa (new)

1715813 Its probably sad commentary that i have read at least half of these. and still own them.


message 8: by shanah (new)

1918017 Sookie's Stackhouse of Charlaine Harris, already add on my list but not yet finish from all series.

She was created her own world on Sookie's series with a lot supernatural and myths stuff. Very very imaginative, I really like it and add new reference on my head ;D.



message 9: by Winnie (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 i LOVED the Twilight series. Everybody who hasnt read it, HAS to read it.


message 10: by Lucille (last edited Jun 15, 2009 04:56PM) (new)

2389553 I love and adore all of Kelley Armstrongs books. I've started reading Patricia Briggs. Twilight, of course, must be mentioned as a good, clean, romance. Vampire Academy was really good. I'm not sure if they're on the list, because there are a lot of books, but i also love Kim Harrison and Colleen Gleason for paranormal romance, and Michelle Bardsley for quick reads :)


message 11: by Winnie (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 THANK YOU!!! ;)



message 12: by Pam (last edited Jun 23, 2009 12:21PM) (new)

2437244 Most real paranormal fans would agree that J.R. Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood is the best series out! I would add Jeaniene Frost and Christine Feehan as close seconds.


message 13: by Winnie (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 is J.R. Wards the author? or is that the book title?

Anyway's THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!


message 14: by Pam (new)

2437244 JR Ward is the author, the Black Dagger Brotherhood is the series and it's the best acc'd to most of my fellow pnr (paranormal romance) friends. I voted for the first book in that series as I usually like the first one the best and in this case it holds true: Dark Lover. I would add Jeanienne frost as best new pnr author and Christine Feehan as one of the most popular of all time.


message 15: by Pam (new)

2437244 Oh and I would add that Twilight is the most popular in the YA (young adult) paranormal romance category.

Just my opinion, but I do know it's shared by many as I read these like a junkie and have lot's of friends that are very into the genre as well.


message 16: by Winnie (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Have you read the Twilight series?

Again, THANK YOU!!!!


message 17: by Pam (new)

2437244 My teenager forced me to read Twilight, I did enjoy it but I usually like my books a bit more rated R rather than pg. I am now planning to read New Moon before the movie comes out :)

Your very welcome!


message 18: by Winnie (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 wow.

what do you think of the Twilight saga so far?


message 19: by Pam (new)

2437244 So far I've only read Twilight. New Moon is on my tbr (to be read) list. I have till Nov when the movie comes out to read it so I've been taking my time. I did like the book a little better than the movie because I thought I understood Edward, and liked him better in the book. He seemed a bit more aloof in the movie than he did in the book and his character seemed more vibrant in the book so it enriched the whole story.

I will try to find time to write a review, and then one for New Moon when I finally get to read it :)


message 20: by Winnie (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Awesome!
Bella in the movie wasn't at all like in the book. I'm sorry to say, but Bella in the movie, was expressionless.

Edward in my mind, is way different than the Edward in Twilight.


message 21: by Kayla (last edited Aug 17, 2009 07:59PM) (new)

1787429 J.R. Ward is the author of the best series of books on this list. The Black Dagger Brotherhood is ridiculously AMAZING. Take it from me whom still has Twilight posters and magazines throughout my room


message 22: by Killthepopular (new)

2252836 Wow, i didn't think it was possible. A list consisting entirely of 100 terrible books.
Is it just me or is every single book in this list a YA book?


message 23: by Pam (new)

2437244 Nope, they are not all YA. In fact Elizabeth Amber is WAYYYY not YA. Wow, you read all these books and think they're terrible but you didn't notice that MOST of them aren't Young Adult? Amazing. Personally, I don't read much YA and I did read most of these books. I Highly recommend JR Ward, Christine Feehan, and Jeaniene Frost, just to name a few favorites. These are all PNR (paranormal romance), so if that isn't your cup of tea perhaps you should skip them.

Is it just me or is every single book in this list either YA or erotica?


message 25: by Greyweather (new)

1154130 The list has "romances" in the title. What did you expect?


message 26: by Killthepopular (new)

2252836 I dunno, there are plenty of great classic novels tht are also romances. No paranormal romances i suppose though...


message 27: by Emma (new)

2471090 Where oh where is The Princess Bride, S. Morgenstern's classic tale of true love and high adventure?? Takes the cake for best fantasy AND best romance I've read. And where is STARDUST????!! That book is the definition of "fantasy" and "romance".

How about Fool on the Hill?

Half of these books that are on the list I've never even heard of.

The Princess Bride is there - just not on the 1st page.

Black Dagger Brotherhood IS the best vampire series out there, yes.


message 30: by Gothicladybug (new)

Nophoto-u-25x33 unfair list just unfair i refuse all my favorites are pretty much on this list i refuse to chose just one


message 31: by Emma (new)

2471090 Wait... What page is The Princess Bride on? I couldn't find it, if its on this list at all.
