What can I read now? (seriously...)
I feel like the Twilight series killed my love of reading... I read the 4 books over the course of 2 weeks, then re-read them all over the past month... DH finally was like ok, find a new book, so I read a Sophie Kinsella book, cute, but mindless. And now I feel like I'll never be able to read other books w/o comparing them to Twilight, and I won't feel an emotional connection.
So seriously... any book recs???

Re: What can I read now? (seriously...)
Hi! I'm new to this board. I just found it today.
I had the same problem after Twilight and it took me a few tries to get into a different book. I had to go in an entirely different direction. Trying to read another fantasy type book just didn't do it for me.
I read The Other Boelyn Girl and that totally got me out of my rut. I really enjoyed it.
Ditto to Charlaine Harris ...it's the southern vampire series and the HBO series "True Blood" is based on them..I got the box set for xmas and I'm already mid-way through the 4th book...
I'm really enjoying them and Charlaine does not cockblock ya' (like others...)?
Just remember ?the story is about Sookie and not a love story and you'll be Ok...?
I recommend the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris. This is a great series and similar to Twilight, but very different.
There are 8 books in the series right now and the 9th book will be out in May. The 1st book is Dead Until Dark. They have also made a HBO show out of the first book called True Blood.
