Question: What series of books should I read next!? Like romantic history in storytelling form with strong characters!.!?
Recently I have read:

The Other Boleyn Girl By Philippa Gregory (and additional books by her because I loved this one so much

Kushiel's Dart by Jaqueline Carey (and the rest in her series)

I liked both because they had strong characters and they had a lot of history that you needed to get involved in!. I wouldn't mind reading more "true history" in story teller form - no bland biography
I also liked the twist of the alternate world in the Kushiel series!. Please help me out!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Gone with the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell
-it's a classic!. it's beautiful, it's fun, it's captivating, it's frustrating, it's addictive!. and the characters are well, timeless!.

Scarlett O'Hara is very very "strong" (to the point of being bullheaded sometimes, but still great^_^), that's what you wanted right!? i'd suggest not reading "Scarlett" though, a sequel to it that Margaret Mitchell didn't write, but it will heal some of the frustration!.

Cassandra, by Crista Wolfe
it's a re-telling of The Iliad in the eyes of Cassandra!. not very romantic though, but very very interesting!.

or something simple!.!.!.
Sidney Sheldon books:
Rage of Angels
If Tomorrow Comes

-great story-teller!. nice romance!. vivid characters, very strong lead characters!. not very "historic" though!.

another good book with romance and a lot of history is
Pillars of the Earth,by Ken Follet
-it's different from most of his other stories, but he pulled it off very well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love Meg Cabot (Heather Wells & Queen of Babble, and tons of others), Sophie Kinsella's (Shopaholic [soon to be movie] & Remember Me), Jennifer Weiner (Good in Bed & Certain Girls) and Emily Giffin (Something Borrowed & Something Blue) books!.They are all great authors!

For a young adult/teen Meg Cabot's young adult books!. She is the best author!. also best selling!. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, Airhead and more!. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her!.

This is a great romance book:

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer!. Blurb on the back of the book (also note: It's one of the top 20 books in the bookstores at the moment and one of the top 50 books in 'books you can't put down' list):

About three things I was absolutely positive!.
First, Edward was a vampire!.
Second, there was a part of him - and I didn't know how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood!.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him!.

When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks, and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn!. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable!. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret!.

What Bella doesn't realize is that the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk!. And it might be too late to turn back!.!.!.

Deeply seductive, and irresistibly compelling, the book 'Twilight' is an extraordinary love story that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page!.

This is a really good romance because Edward (the vampire) is attracted to Bella, a human and that is a major problem for him because her blood smells really good- better than any human he has ever come across, so he is in love with her but want to kill her for her blood!. It is amazing the struggles they go through, but their love conquors all!. It's a must read!Www@QuestionHome@Com
