We have just a few more days of daily 2015 reader favorites lists to post. *sigh* I’m sad to see ’em go (unless you send me more!! π ). And anyway, we still have our Saturday reader favorites list where our fellow readers send in their ALL-TIME favorites. πΒ But OMG have I added to my own TBR lists for 2016. π In fact, Jellicoe RoadΒ from a few other favorites listsΒ is now right at the top of my TBR for me.
Today, I have Laura’s list to feature, and this one has quite the paranormal and urban fantasy appeal. π (BTW: check out her top favorite books list, too! We get to know Laura really well in that one!!)
“5* reads 2015 —>Β Hi maryse I know I might be late with the list but it took me ages to decide and to remember what year I read most in oops! So I kinda narrowed it down…..”
1.)Β Pride Stories SeriesΒ by shelly laurenston <— I’m pretty sure this was a michelleS recommendation and once I started I couldn’t stop they are just so funny and the characters are amazing kind of remind be of the crazy side of IAD so that hooked me!
2.)Β GUILD HUNTER SERIESΒ by nalini Singh <—Β Angels!!! Freaking Angels!! And vampires made by angels oh I loved it and now I’m waiting for more again!
3.)Β The Others SeriesΒ by Anne bishop. <— Yes she bullied me too ahem bev *cough* but I’m glad she did I really liked it all of them can’t wait for the next it’s very unique the way it’s written
4.)Β Highlands’ LairdsΒ series by Julie garwood <—Β Now you know I’m Scottish myself so living in Scotland I’m sorry to say there is no one like the lairds they really are a myth lol but these books were really good very alpha male type highlanders kilt and all!
5.)Β The Secret Clan: The Complete SeriesΒ by Amanda Scott <—Β So u can see I went on a bit of Scottish historical romance thing and ended up with this series also which involves of course the ‘Wee people’ or the fae better known as and enjoyed these also!
“And so to be honest that’s all I can think of my memory isn’t getting so good but I of course enjoyed my usual ones such as The Shadows byΒ j.r ward and I again read the Rachel Morgan (The Hollows Series)Β by Kim Harrison because I just read that every year for my jenks fix you all must read this series!!!
But more than that I can’t think so they must not be worth mentioning that much and most of everyone else lists I haven’t read yet so I’m sure if I had they would be added to. So that’s all! Thank u!”
Hiiii Laura. So glad you sent in your favs ’cause I’ve only read one of them and I am gonna click clickity click the rest! The all sound so good.
Laura, omg. I have read three of those. One is in my wishlist, telling me it’s only 1.99 right now, (Pride series) and I never heard of Amanda Scotts’ The Secret Clan series. Now I have two new series for my TBR. π
I can’t say enough about The Guild Hunter’s series, specifically those first three stories. Raphael and Elena’s romance makes me swoon every time. The Others is so great, of course. Highland Laird by Julie Garwood. I literally cut my romance teeth on that series. My first romance was The Bride. π The Hollows series I adored. I miss it, honestly.
*squeels about new TBRs and runs off*
I went to look at the Pride series first and I guess I’ve read those. *scratches head* guess I forgot the name of the series :-/ but I recognized the books
Hey now! I was gently persistent. π
*clutches chest*
Garwood heroes aren’t real!?! That hurts.
A more contemporary Scottish hero I fell for was from Men in Kilts.
I’m so going to look up the Amanda Scott. π
Really like this list, Laura. Fun to see different books and genres pop up.
Jellicoe Road!!
*fist pump*
Yes yes!! Already started it bev and i’m in!!
Back to the CLASSICS- ummmmm. If you read urban fantasy and never read the, now complete Kim Harrison, The Hollows you have missed out.
One if my prize Hard cover collection. Oh yes, Jinx!
Have to read the entire series in order or you will not be able to keep up.
Well developed world and characters. Rachel is the herione throughout.
Looking back, I wish I would have read straight through without the wait.
author was a front runner
Wow Laura I have not read any of these…yet. This is why I love getting other’s top rec’s. π
What a fun list!!! So many favorites of mine, too. The Pride series was hilarious & sexy. Those dang lion shifters. And the honey badger. LOL. And men in kilts? Always a favorite of mine. Oh girl, we could have fun comparing lists!!!
Only the others series on here that I’m familiar with. And JR Ward but I haven’t read this one or her Bourbon series yet. Thanks for sharing your best books Laura….I’ll be checking some of these out.
Hey Laura…Great List! I am so excited about the Guild Hunter Series. That one is right up my alley. I am a huge lover of paranormal books so thank you for adding to my TBR!
These are all new to me except The Others series (and I’ve only read the first one….also bullied by bev…haha). I love this list!
bev is a wonderful bully!!! And so subtle in her hinting… *snort* π

Cheryl, Red is your color. π
Maryse, can’t WAIT to hear what you think. π
Love this list! Only one I haven’t read is the Scott series. I miss The Hollows series but Jenks is second to Trent for me!
