LOL This question gets asked every 5 hours or so right?
WELL I love twilight. DUH that was obvious right? I have also read everything by Holly Black, and Stephanie Meyer, and Darren Shan. I don’t just want books that are about vampires, but all mythical creatures.
Faeries, Dragons, Vampires, everything. But the catch is, I really like romance. NOT those books everyone’s mom has with Fabio on the cover. I want Fantasy and Romance. I am a 21 year old, but I tend to only find Young Adult books because they are my kind of fantasy. Dragons, Vampires, Faeries! My favorite. Oh and Magics too. So does anyone know of any romantic faerie tale books, or other romantic books like that?

Try Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Avalon series.
Although there is virtually no romance involved…if you like fantasy books I highly recommend Terry Pratchett’s “Discworld” series.
Wuthering heights is an awesome novel if you like old english literature. And its gothic so you may like it.
Okay this is going to be a long list, but every single book is a favourite of mine.
isobelle carmody
‘the obertnewtyn series’ 5 books in the series so far and ‘Obernewtyn’ is the first.
‘the legendsong series’ 2 books in the series so far ‘Darkfall’ the first.
kate forsyth
‘the witches of eileanan’ 6 books in the series ‘Dragonclaw’ is the first.
mercedes lackey
i love anything by her and will buy it without even reading the back.
‘the heralds of valdemar’ 3 books in series the first is ‘Arrows of the Queen’ but about 6 other series as well as individual books set in the same land with some of the same characters.
‘five hundred kingdoms’ so far 4 books in the series. the first is ‘The Fairy Godmother’. this series is a great concept and not one that i’ve come across. it covers the story of why there is cinderellas, prince charmings, fairy godmothers etc and what happens if “tradition” isn’t satisfied.
maria .v. snyder
no actual series title. 3 books in the series. the first is ‘Poison Study’
garth nix
‘the old kingdom trilogy’. 3 books in the series with ‘Sabriel’ first.
trudi canavan
‘the black magician trilogy’. 3 books in the series ‘The Magicians’ Guild’ is first. a lot of twist in this series and the last twist makes me cry every time.
catherine asaro
no series title. i think about 5 books in the series so far starting with ‘The Charmed Sphere’.
J.R. Ward
‘Black Dagger Brotherhood’ series with 7 books so far.
Sherrilyn Kenyon
‘Dark Hunters’ series with about 15 books so far with many more on the way. Sherrilyn Kenyon writes really well with little bits of humour that sneaks up and bites you on the bum so you start laughing out of no where =)
Christine Feehan
‘Carpathian’ series with about 15 books so far as well as many more on the way as well.
Kresley Cole
‘Immortals Afrter Dark’ series with 6 books so far.
Anne McCaffrey
‘The Dragonriders of Pern’ series with about 22 books and she (as well as her son Todd McCaffrey now) is still writing.
i love all these books and they come highly recommended. i hope you enjoy all of them as much i have and still do!!
You should look up Madeleine L’Engle. Her books seem to somewhat fit your criteria. No vampires or anything, but lots of other supernatural stuff. Give her a try.
I love, love, love her writing.

Hi!
The House on the Borderland , The Ghost Pirates or The Night Land written by William Hope Hodgson .

“In 1877, two gentlemen, Messrs Tonnison and Berreggnog, head into Ireland to spend a week fishing in the village of Kraighten. While there, they discover in the ruins of a very curious house a diary of the man who had once owned it. Its torn pages seem to hint at an evil beyond anything that existed on this side of the curtains of impossibility. This is a classic novel that worked to slowly bridge the gap between the British fantastic and supernatural authors of the later 19th century and modern horror fiction. Classic American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft lists this and other works by Hodgson among his greatest influences.”

“The Ghost Pirates . . . is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power.” — H.P. Lovecraft

The Night Land
by William Hope Hodgson
[O]ne of the strangest visions ever published in science fiction or fantasy is presented. The Sun has gone out: the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, the Last Redoubt, probably the first arcology in literature, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a Circle of energy, known as the “air clog,” powered from the Earth’s internal energy. For millennia, vast living shapes – the Watchers – have waited in the darkness near the pyramid: it is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle’s power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human.¡ª Excerpted from The Night Land on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
