Thanks ill have to check those out :)

I love a series. I like knowing there is still more story to go ahead of me! Some of my favourites are (although not all UF or YA):
1. The Mortal Instruments
2. The Night Angel Trilogy (does a trilogy count as a series? Probably not I suppose... still, they are GREAT books!)
3. The Abhorsen Chronicles
4. The Gemma Doyle Trilogy (yep another trilogy, but again, still really good!)
5. The Black Magician Trilogy - although this is a three book run, Trudi Canavan has since released a prequel and a sequel so I don't suppose trilogy quite applies anymore. It's a really good read. Like REALLY good!!!

I hear the Belgariad series is amazing, it is 5 books long. I have it, but I haven't read it just yet.

:)

Trilogy's are good too LOL im borrowing mortal instruments from my library atm, i cant find it in the shops so if i like it ill buy it online :)
i own sookie stackhouse but i havent read it yet but ive watched it LOL my favourite series is women of the other world by kelley armstrong :) i just bought some of the books online :)

Night Angel was a great trilogy- also, I would like to mention the Night Huntress series & Laurell k.'s Meredith Gentry series. lol I'll quit now or go on naming forever-

I've heard a lot of good things about Kelley Armstrong's books and I am thinking I might need to go and check them out! I do feel a bit werewolf/vampired out, but so many people seem to like them that I am worried I am missing out!

I currently own the twilight series, House of nights series, Kelly Armstrong, Paticia Briggs and so many more I love series....

Kelley Armstrong's books are amazing :)

So I just wikipedia'ed her and there are quite a few options! Which series would you suggest I start with/which is the best?

women of the other world... once you've read those there are novellas you can read and other books that tie into the series but u dont have to read them. eg the book men of the otherworld is a book made up of short stories that used to be on her website, they are all from the mens perspective. Its a must read in my option (such a good book) :) each both in the women series focus's on a different main female character.. the females vary from werewolf, witch, half demon, necromancer to a witch who is half-demon and has sorcerer blood. :)

Ooooo that sounds interesting. Okey dokey, will do. Thanks for the advice :)

I think I own many series in E-book format and have a to buy list going for physical books.

Harry Potter Series (Lost the entire series in a flood.)
Covenant Series
The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel Series
Lord of the Underworld
Wicked Lovely
Outlander

I'm sure there are many more!

I own the Fever Series and Highlander series both by Karen Moning, the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost, Sookie Stackhouse, Harry Potter, Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, Alpha and Omega by Patricia Briggs, I could go on and on, but any of these would be great to read if you haven't.

I have quite a few series from different genres, favourites are probably:
-Mercy Thompson(UF)
-Chaos Walking(YA/Distopian)
-Mortal Instruments(YA/Paranormal)
-His Dark Materials(fantasy/YA)
-Kitty Norville(UF-but I don't own all of them)
-Skulduggery Pleasant(YA/UF/Humour)
-Harry Potter <3
-Hunger Games
I'll stop now....:)

The Fever and Highlander series, Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, Kate Daniels, Edge Series (also by Ilona Andrews), Alpha series (Patricia Briggs), Graceling series (goes with Fire and Bitterblue), Sookie Stackhouse series, Anita Blake, Meredith Gentry

I'm quite fussy about which UF/PR I buy. I have lots of singles I was given for free, but the only ones I have gone on to buy are Karen Chance - Dory and Cassie Palmer, and both Patricia Briggs. I would buy Anita Blake but there are too many! so I might buy a couple of my favourites.

She's 15yrs old. I've mainly started letting her read what she wants. So far no real interest in the more adult books. But then again she tells me everything anyway. High School today scares me.
