Lisarenee | 2046 comments Just curious what authors and/or series you are absolutely crazy about and can't wait for the next book to come out? Also, are there any series you wish hadn't ended?


message 2: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) Katie MacAlister's Dark Ones series. I usually have them pre-orderer within a 3 month advance. Don't ask me why, they're just a normal PNR book, nothing fancy, but I have all the paperbacks on my bookshelf :D

Lisarenee | 2046 comments Off the top of my head I collect both of Nalini Singh's series, I'm attempting get all of Patricia Brigg's (I have a lot of them already), I'm in the process of collecting all of Kelly Armstrong's books.

I may have to look into the Dark Ones.

message 7: by Julie (new)

Julie | 17 comments Everything by Nalini Singh and Ilona Andrews(2 fav authors). Also Alexandra Ivy's Guardian of Eternity series-comfort reads for me. Also everthing Shelly Laurenston and Lora Leigh's breed series. Also own everything Janyne krentz, lisa kleypas, and laurell k hamitlton. I collect alot of series,lol. Digitally I own and adore everything by Kristen Ashley. I'm sad the next book in the Rock Chick series will be the last. But at least there will be a spinoff.

*head smack* I forgot about Kenyon. I've been trying to keep up with all her books. When I latch on to an author I get a little obsessive. I think I'm behind in one of her series, the one she writes with another author.

Love the whole Edge series, although Fate's Edge (The Edge, #3) by Ilona Andrews holds a special place in my heart because of Kaldar-love heros like him :)
