NOTE: LATEST UPDATE on this list —> September 5th 2015! (see them below, in the reader recommendations section – 37 new suggestions!) 🙂 This is a work in progress. I will personally “taste-test” each book (hehe) that makes this list before I add it to the main part. These are my favorite lists to make, but this one’s been hard on me!! There have been many recommendations and suggestions (keep ’em coming!) but not all have given me that “Fifty” feel, ya know? I mean… come on… What the heck can live up to Fifty?? It’s been said many times, that Fifty’s ruined us for all others.

Eight Books That Made Me Cry…
I’m not much of a crier… or so I like to think. I mean, honestly!! I’ve read a TON of books over the years (especially in the last three) and I can only recall a handful that affected me to full-blown tears. Oh sure, some of ’em made me teary-eyed, but I’m talking about the kind of tears that can’t be easily controlled with a dab or two. The kind that make your face crumple. 
Oh yah… you know it!! Once you face does that, you’re a goner. LOL! Some even went so far as to affect me to the point that I couldn’t cry, even though my whole emotional world was flipped on it’s head (The Hunger Games trilogy, Where She Went and even the latest book that I loved… “Stolen“). They affected me so much, and yet… I just stared. As if I was in shock. No tears. I think they blew my “tear-fuse”.
Urban Fantasy Series Recommendations and the Difference Between Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy Genres
I’ve recently been asked a question (thank you, Jennie!!):
“Are any of the other series you have mentioned in this list similar to the Fever series, in that it is a continuous story? Not like, say, the BDB or the Midnight Breed series which follows a different character each book. I do love those series, but I found I really liked the long story and progression of the Fever series. Any suggestions?”
Ahhhhh Jennie is an Urban Fantasy fan!
Which made me realize I had not yet dedicated a post to the Urban Fantasy Genre. Since I frequently switch between Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy (and love both almost equally), I’ve mixed the two genres throughout my blog.
Recent Reader Recommendations
I’ve decided to post some of my reader recommendations. Considering I get so many of these each week (Thank you!! Keep ’em coming please), I figured I’d share a few of the ones that have been mentioned over and over again, and some that I’m hoping to get to soon.
Since I had so much luck with recent reader suggestions (“Fifty Shades” and the “Thoughtless” books anyone? 😉 hehe!), it would be a shame not to highlight a few of them as I get them.
Unfortunately, I can’t always get to them as fast as I’d like, but maybe you guys can, and you can “second” the recommendations?
What to Read After Beautiful Disaster
You saw this coming, didn’t you? Actually, quite a few asked me for this list, and I just couldn’t put it off any longer. I’ve finally amassed an impressive collection of worthy suggestions for you (and most are truly comparable, at least *feeling* wise to Jamie McGuire’s Beautiful Disaster). I think you’ll be delighted!
“Ok so Beautiful Disaster is now my favorite book and I wanted to know what you think would be equal to it?”
“You should have an “after BD page” like you do for Twilight…”
