I am thinking of starting up the J.R Ward series...or one of Richelle Meads series...either Vampire Academy or the Succubus one. I haven't decided yet though.

Ward's BDB is AMAZING. There is just no other way to put it. Dark Lover starts a tad slow, but by Z's book (3) you will be hooked. VA is also one of my all time favorite series.
Update: 5/28/10The Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter will be my series challenge:
Finished:
1. The Darkest Night 1/9/10
2. The Darkest Kiss 4/16/10

Wow Briansgirl - great job. I love the Sookie series but have never read Maria Snyder. How are her books?
Carolyn F. wrote: "Wow Briansgirl - great job. I love the Sookie series but have never read Maria Snyder. How are her books?"Thank you. I dearly love the Study series and highly recommend it. However, I'm not that fond of the Glass series, set in the same world. It's got a more inexperienced unsecure heroine and it's got darker themes in the second two books that made them feel a bit creepy in places. The Study series was so good that both times I read it (last year and this year) I read the 3 books in 4 days.
The short stories are available free on the author's website that will give you an example of her writing: http://www.mariavsnyder.com/shortstor...
I'll start with the Study series. I'm ordering the first book from the library right now :)
Briansgirl- how do you do the check thingy?

Now need to finish the last two Sookie-verse stories I haven't read yet. (Same world, but no Sookie in the story). Scroll up to my post to see the full list.
Update for first series.Sookie Stackhouse series

I still need to read Dead in the Family and I think that would make me all caught up on the Sookie books, including the short stories. Love the series.
Carolyn F. wrote: "I still need to read Dead in the Family and I think that would make me all caught up on the Sookie books, including the short stories. Love the series."All I have left is too Sookie-verse short stories. Novella's that are in that world, but without Sookie in them.

I love the Outlander series Mirely - I hope you do too.
Thank you Carolyn! Everyone raves about the series so I thought I should give it a try.
Mirely, I loved the James Potter novels. I paid to have them printed at lulu.com and both my eldest son and I have read them all.I was thinking of reading a series this year again but havn't decided which one. Won't be PNR/UF though. I did the Southern Vampire/Sookie Stackhouse last year along with Twilight. As PNR/UF is not the main two genre's I read, I wanted to read either a mystery or romance series through this year.
Hi Briansgirl! I think I might do the same thing!! I really enjoyed the first book and kind of sad that he has stopped writing anymore.
This is my 2010 series list so far - I've been ordering them from the library as I finish them. ALPHA & OMEGA
Cry Wolf
ALIEN AFFAIRS
GARDELLA VAMPIRE CHRONICLES
JANE TRUE
JANE YELLOWROCK
THE KIESHA'RA
THE RAREST BLOOM
SHADOW DWELLERS
SONS OF DESTINY
THE STUDY
