I'd recommend the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. 10 titles long and they're all out. If snarky paranormal romance/action books are your cup of tea, you'll enjoy it. :)

Try The Mistborn Trilogy.
A must read!! Especially if you like magic (this one has magic, but non-potterverse type).

(Cowers under Scunzero's righteous and deserved wrath.....)

Forty lashes with a wet noodle for me! Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling is a wonderful series to get lost in. Her Guild Hunter series is a lot shorter but equally good. :)

First book in Psy-Changeling--Slave to Sensation (don't let the over the top title turn you away)
First book in Guild Hunter--Angel's Blood

Have fun!

PirateAba - Wandering Inn
Amazing world building, side characters are more satisfying than the lead characters.
Still being written, largest series I've ever read.

This is one you can really get lost in on an epic adventure, if you’re willing to taste the asian Xianxia genre! Which I HIGHLY recommend.

I Shall Seal The Heavens - by Er Gen, translated well by Deathblade
