I super love the Twilight Saga...I've just started reading Eclipse and I can't wait to know what happens next in Breaking Dawn...
But I'm also afraid that after reading those books, I won't find anything that would be at par with the Twilight Saga...
DO you have any suggestions on what to read next??? I'd love to read a book similar to Bella and Edward's story...

Well Breaking Dawn is awsome just so you know. But what i would suggest is The House of Night Series which is a Vampire series set kinda of like
twilight with a Vampire/human romance but that is where the similarities end.
Also i would recomend the Vampire Diaries it is also a human/vampire romance except its a love triangle and both series are very good. The house of night series has 5 books with a sixth to be released in Octoer. The Vampire Diaries has 4 books with another companion triology with only the 1st book releasd

Read Stephenie Meyer's THE HOST. Ive read the book and its GREAT!!! Its not like the Twilight series but youll have the thrill an excitement when reading her other book The Host.
I recommend it!
There are also adventure books that i can recommend like Neil Gaimans novels. he wrote the novel Stardust and hit the movie screen last year. Also a page turner.
if you want some refletive novels, go for Paulo Coelho.

thanks! I like paulo coelho too!
I'll probably read The Host since it's by Stephanie Meyer...
I was actually at the bookstore awhile ago but I ended up not buying anything because I'm still fixated with Edward and Bella! I feel I'll get disappointed if I read another book without Edward Cullen in it! ha!ha!

I agree that you should try the House of Night series. They are written by PC Cast and her daughter, Kristen Cast. The series has Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed, and Hunted so far. I actually read three of them in two days, they really are kind of addictive!

Somethings happen in Breaking dawn that you may have never guessed in a billion years would happen. xD
But I suggest you read The Host, next, it's also by Stephanie Meyer. It also has a kind of "love binds us all together" theme. Or, you can check out House of Night; it's another vampire story I've heard good things about. :o

The author who wrote the House of Night series also wrote a book called Sweet and Deadly. I think you'd like it.

You should read the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. They're much better than Twilight. I like the Twilight series too but there are better books out there. I think the Sookie Stackhouse series are some of them. These books are also romantic and about vampires. They are about a 20 something barmaid who falls in love with a vampire named Bill. In the Sookie universe, the Japanese have developed a synthetic blood and this allowed vampires to come out into the open.
It's a really great series. There's 9 books, I think. They're easy reads, though not too easy, humorous, romantic, and quirky. I love them! :)

I have not read them yet but I have read that the books The Vampire Diaries by Anne Rice are really good. They are about a 17 year old human girl that falls in love with brothers that just both happen to be vampires. I have the books there are 4 in the series so far but I have not had time to read them yet.
