It is such a good series! It is not a complete series though. Do I need to nominate another one?

Actually..... its only complete series. It was getting confused when people would recommend a series and there was only one book out in the series so I am wanting only complete series suggested so we can read and complete a series over the months.

But


Thanks. I think I now understand the rules here :D

It is a blend between other major fantasies out there such as Song of Ice and Fire but yet it isn't in the same way. It is very unique and deserves more attention.
Don't be discouraged because there are 15 books and they are all above 600+ pages. That only means more story, more magic, more time with your favourite characters.
Thanks for your time (:

Love WoT. I find the series makes more sense to many people if they read New Spring which was written later but is the PREQUEL to the series and helps people understand what's going on. I personally consider it the "real 1st book" especially if you look at the books from chronological order rather than published order.


Sounds interesting. Was $1.99 on kindle today so I grabbed a copy.


But can I also nominate




The WOT is my favorite fantasy series ever. It is totally unique; nothing else really compares to it. If it was selected for a series to read, it would have to be a series for the year at least. I have read all the books, but have forgotten a lot from the first few books. I also agree that one should start with

*Changed my suggestion* I would like to nominate
series!! It's going to be a movie soon and I would like to re-read 1-5 and get to six!


But yeah, I nominated the whole series, so it's there..





That looks so good!"
YES Tt! I've been dying to read this one for a long time know and the ratings and reviews are very high and positive. The series sounds awesome, the books aren't long, they're not expensive (at least when I bought them last year), and there are only the 4 books! These are all plus factors on top of it sounding so interesting!

I loved the Kate Daniels series too! Did you read Magic Gifts and Gun metal magic, cause if you didn't you should, especially Magic Gift.


I loved that series, definitely worth reading, but Richelle Mead said that Last Sacrifice was the last book and that she wouldn't be writing a 7th book. I heard that there was going to be a movie too, but its probably going to be forever for all 6 movies to come out.


I'm definitely seconding this one! But there is no 7th? They started a sub-series off the 6th.


I'm definit..."
I just bought all of these and haven't read any of them yet. So I am seconding this as well!


Yes!!!


I loved the movie and I hear the books are even better...


Okay, I'm totally confused. Can we nominate partial series or not? During the nominations for May, Alice said "It doesn't matter if it is complete or not but it should be three or more books out in the series :)". On the other hand, the instructions at the top of this thread say "Only nominate COMPLETE series!!" I don't really care which it is, but the rules at the top should state whatever it really is so we know what can be nominated and what can't!
I second







That looks so good!"
I would love to read this series. This is my vote.

Only complete series. Alice isn't over the BOTM threads anymore so I am making some changes to her rules.

The rules at the top are by me btw and have been changed since Alice had it last month. The rules at the top are the rules I'm going by and whatever Alice did say doesn't exist this time around

Thanks for the clarifications Tt.
:)
There are so many good suggestions here. I think almost any of these series would be a ton of fun to read. =D

New Spring is not a very good beginning to the series in my opinion.

Brilliant! Thanks, it was less confusing than I thought. And I see that Vampire Academy is indeed a complete series so that answers that question...
Did Tasha officially nominate

And are nominations closing today the same as for August BOTM?

Yep :) and sorry for the confusion people! I will be looking up if the suggestions are complete series or not so happy nominating! lol

Nominated by me for the purely selfish reason that it is one I'm planning to re-read at some point in the near future.
Personal opinion: One of the first paranormal romance novels I ever read, and possibly one of the first novels I'd say could identifiably be placed in the sub-genre. Also one of the best.
Also one of the few books I'd be willing to admit to saying had a cover that immediately roped me in. :)
