Keri Arthur's The Riley Jenson Guardian series is awesome it is hard to put down
Hunger Games, is a must read. Im a fan of harry Potter, and I'm almost thinking its better, its pretty close :)
These are the book series i found hard to put down:~~Black dagger brotherhood
Morganville Vampires
Chicagoland vampires
Riley Jenson series
The Hunger Games is my favorite series. Before I read it, I felt that Harry Potter was the best, but with the exception of the Half-Blood Prince, I feel the Hunger Games books are more entertaining.Alot of people are discussing, the Twilight Series. I agree full-heartedly with Bella's critics, that she is a useless character and the story itself is over-written. But the books are very entertaining. The first one was the best, even though Eclipse is my favorite.
But, I utterly despise Breaking Dawn. That is book is a crime against all the trees that have used to print and continues to print. I started it over a year ago, and I'm just now getting close to finishing it. That how awful it is, and it usually takes me up to a week or a few day over to read a book.
Other books, I absolutely adore are the Percy Jackson and Vampire Academy books. But, my all-time favorite book is My Sister's Keeper.
Wheres Divergent??? i know its new but Wow its the best book i've ever read!
One Day by David Nicholls is a must read for anyone! Couldn't put it down!
Even though there is some prejudice that I have about Twilight, I really couldn't get through them. I have read all of them, but in New Moon I put it down half way through and didn't pick up till half a year later, it didn't bother me it all. Especially in Breaking Dawn when the end gets all exciting and it meets it climax, but nothing actually happens, it just fakes you out. To some it may be a good book, but I found it very boring and something that could easily be left alone for a while, it didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. I could care less about it.
I usually don't like to finish reeding books too fast but while reading The Hunger Games I just couldn't stop. C=
The Warrior Heir series is THE BEST!So is the Hunger Games, Maximum Ride, and
Gone series (by michael Grant) :)
I have loads of favourite books here's just a few 
love the series
loving this series

Totally!!!

Probably uncommon, but The Handmaid's Tale kept me up all night. I just had to know where Atwood was going with that deeply disturbing story.
Why is Twilight on this list? It's badly written and it has the worst characters of all time.
For some Twilight is the best book they've read & who are we to tell them its not. For me personally i loved the books, i do believe the books are better than the films. I do love the films. As with the Harry Potter books, they got a whole new generation reading again. If we all liked the same, life would be boring. There is books that my friends have recommended to be & i have found boring & not finished, one is Shiver, i still not finished it.
Can you please explain why you loved the books? I'm not being sarcastic, I want to know what it is that people like about them.
Sarah wrote: "Can you please explain why you loved the books?

Its hard to explain, its like trying to explain why you find someone good looking or beautiful,it makes me feel good, there's excitement, joy, horror, suspense. How Bella isn't the hottest girl in school, she is slightly dowdy. That she is different, doesn't want to be noticed, trying to fit in. Bella has it tough, her dad's the chief of police in a small town,for most boys she's off limits.
Let me tell you something first.
I was one of those people who didn't get Twilight, my daughter had the film on DVD, so i watched it with her one day, this is before i read the books, i was like, oh okay, yeah &.... I didn't get all the hype, all the fan girls, the queuing up. Then a friend sent me Vampire academy book, i read it & it kicked started my obsession with reading. Going to my local book stall in the market, i bought a book & he didn't have any change, (i buy most of my books from him & he does this a lot, its kinda our little joke) so he said, "buy this you can have it for a £1" he was thrusting Twilight at me & i'm shaking my head. "what you got to loose, you don't like it, i'll buy it back" I took it home & read it within a week. It then hit me, i got it, got what they was all on about, team Jacob, Team Edward. How they both want the same girl. For me its escapism. Takes me to a fantasy world.
Recently i've done my GCSE in English & sat during one lesson, explaining why New Moon is a different take on Romeo & Juliet,the whole class ended up listening to my reasons & some agreed.
Some people just hate Twilight, its how it is.I suppose it all comes down to personal tastes. No matter what it is, a book, a song, some will love it, some will hate it.
I think that Twilight is a readable book. I'm not obsessed with it, but when I read it I couldn't put it down, it was just engrossing. I haven't actually read The Hunger Games yet, but I did read a little of the first chapter, and once I really get into it I don't think I will be able to put it down either. :)
the Hunger Games... most amazing book EVER!
The Mortal Instruments And The Infernal Devises. You will servive it but you will be dead. And Dips The Herondales Thats Will And Jace. If you by any change take my boys i will cut you.
Hi everyone,I have created a new group called Goodreads All Sorts and I'd love for people to join it or just even just give it a look. It's a group that discusses anything and everything. There will be monthly group reads, movies, and music. There is a folder for everything you could think of. I'd really like if people could spread the word because I'd love for the group to be a success. Here is the link to the group:

Thanks very much,
Jack :-)
Cleopatra's Daughter should be on the list !

Twilight and Harry Potter I just couldn't put down. I was on the search for a series of books that will read like Twilight - that book that I just cant wait to get home so I can read it and don't want to go to sleep cause I just had to know what happens next.And so I found Hunger Games and I was in reading heaven. but the sad thing is that when you read to know whats going to happen you finish the book so fast and then you are where you started.
I then a little girl Tris Prior from Abnegation fell onto my lab and my oh my I fell in love with this series. divergent I finished in a weekend and Insurgent I am trying my best not to finish it to quickly. Just sad it is not as high up on the list.
But I am loving this list
A series i have recently found, well found is the wrong word, a friend guided me to them. Its the Night huntress series, Cat and Bones with the posse of friends, be them ghouls, ghost or vampires. It is an awesome series.No matter what book genre i read, i am always,and will always be, drawn to vampire books. That said i will read books in other genre's.
I remember I had a hard time putting down William Makepeace Thackeray's
Vanity Fair
. Everytime I decided to finish the chapter and then put the book away for a bit, something happened at the end of a chapter that made me read on :-) Cleverly done and quite logical, of course, when you know the book first appeared in instalments.

In my opinion it takes a particular type of a person to like Twilight. I'm not that type apparently. Though I must say it is some kind of achievement to make me intensely dislike the main girl with just a few pages. Like when Bella describes herself - she tries to appear modest but still ends up seeming vain. Like saying she has 'ugly' or 'average' or 'boring' brown hair, yet it is also silky and long and...etc. Hopefully you get what I mean? I know it is the weak point of writing in first person since you have to try very hard so your character won't seem vain or otherwise unlikable. Another thing that annoyed me to no end was the overflowing description of how divinely looking Edward was. At the end of the book I was almost ready to cut my throat if I saw one more mentioning of a 'body that looked like a statue of a Greek god'...

Still not able to check for duplicates. I saw dozens of duplicate titles, some repeated 5+ times.

Check duplicates is still broken.
Wages of Sin by L E Parker - Worth a read - good series with a few twists in it.
Check duplicates working again - 17 duplicates eliminated.
