Genre: fantasy, supernatural, etc.
Favored point of view: I don't care
Age range:adult but good teen books are okay too.
Elements/Plot etc: I also like romance (it should possibly play a large role in the book), Magic/Special ability. I really like books to be series just because I read really well and fast, but it can just be one book.

I am currently reading the Crown of Stars series. I LOVE it. I am recommending these books. They are awesome. You should be at a decent reading level though.

Sword of Truth series. You will definitely love it. Romance definitely has large role in this series and it has a lot of fantasy so it pretty much covers everything you asked for xd I'll check out Crown of Stars, ty for suggestion :D

Don't know if you've read it, but I want to reccomend the Farseer Trilogy (I think that's the only sieres I've ever reccomended, lol.) It's first person; I prefer those as well.
There is romance that influences the protagonists' decisions, and there is magic as well. Well, the first book might be boring; it sets the foundation of the sieres, and lacks the romance you might want.
As for happy ending...it does end happy, but then again, it depends on your view. I personally think its a bit sad, and that the character...deserves more. Anyway, he suffers a lot in the 2nd and 3rd...end of the 2nd, I was crying. >.>
Oh, I made a thread bout this Trilogy long ago; if you'd like to figure out more.

I also reccomend 'Feast of Souls' by C.S Freidman. The magic was awesome, the overall story was thrilling. Yes, there's romance. The author made a second book, but I haven't been able to get it yet. She's really good with writing/descriptions. I can't remember the point of view, but you see the views of many characters throughout.

The Bartemaus Trilogy was first person; it has magic, pretty good, but second one was boring to me. Maybe you've read it? It's level might be childish though; I'm not sure, I read it long ago.

The Lost Gate isn't bad either. Not first person, but its got a lot of magic and some er, not the right sense of romance. I think a sequel might come out.

Genre: I read anything; mostly Fantasy, or romance. But really, anything.
Favored point of view: First person, but don't mind any.
Age range: As long as its mature, and not 'kiddy'. Especially the writing.
Elements/Plot etc: magic, thrill, romance. I tend do like stories with heroes, or stories that are really emotional. There's gotta be some drama and death. I like stories that can really make you cry, or make you really think; life-lessons, etc.

Don't reccomend the Inheritance series please; and I've read most of the Sword of Truth series - I don't intend on continuing anytime soon. I've also read most of Terry Brooks' books as well.

So, what should I read? I haven't read a series for a while. Just random fiction.

Nice thread btw.

Ty for suggestions :D
Thrill + Romance - The Hunger Games series. I kinda hate them since last book had a really f-ed up ending, but hey - maybe sad endings simply aren't my cup of tea... It's about struggling against the suppression in futuristic world (it's some near future, but still far enough xd)
Thrill + Life lessons - A Song of Ice and Fire series... There is no serious romance (I mean, there are few serious romances although they doesn't represent any kind of pivotal point in the series). You can check out HBO's Game of the Thrones show to warm-up for them. It is written from point of view of many different characters all over the world where book takes place. IMHO it is one of the best series I've ever read :D
Sword of Truth - It's awesome series and I urge you to reconsider about continuing :D Characters are awe inspiring and each book taught me at least one life lesson xd

Thank you!
I've actually been avoiding the Hunger games xD , but now I've been told yet again to read it. I should look into it then.
Song of Ice and Fire - I read the first book; it was awesome. OK then, I'll continue.
Sword of Truth - Yup, your'e right, I need to get back to it. The next one I have to read is 'Pillars of Creation'. I just haven't been in the mood, and I can't access the ones after this book yet. But I do want to see how Jagang gets brought down.

I'm not really sure if what I'm about to suggest is 'horror', because I avoid that genre, and I'm not sure if those that I've read could be classified as horror.

"The Book with No Name" - Anonymous. I don't remember, but I think it may have had a 'bad'/'sad' ending. Some parts are graphic and there is a lot swearing. This tale is generally dark. It is 'exciting' though in a way once you know what's going on, and it's sort of a mystery. This one has a supernatural genre. Because I didn't like it, I wouldn't reccomend it, but yeah, it seems to fit what you want. xD

"Out" - Natsuo Kirino. I can't believe I read this novel twice. In a sense, it can be horrifying; but not in a ghost/possessed people way. It's just, what the main characters are doing; if I did that, I would get scarred for life. >_> It is exciting after a few chapters, this is sort of a murder mystery. I don't know if this is has a happy ending though; there are 4 main people; three of them met with misery, and the fourth...I wouldn't consider her ending happy. Anyway, again, this is graphic (but you say you want adult >_>)

Both of these have faint traces of romance. I like 'Out' better. xP

Has anyone read "Shannara" series? It awoke my interest, but I'm not sure if there is romance in it and I thrive for it and it has become requested element of any novel I read from the moment I begun to read "Sword of Truth" series.

Yes!! Very adventurous, it's a must read if you love fantasy! >_< !
There's not that much romance. I mean, few characters/pairs have fallen in love/gotten married, but it doesn't seem huge.

You see more romance in the 'Elfstones of Shannara' and the 'Scions of Shannara', 'talismans of shannara', and the 'druid of shannara'.

But the romance isn't as big as the Sword of Truth series. I remember that while reading Shannara, I did crave for more romance within. >_>
But it was still worth the read, IMO. The adventure/quests, the different species and lands, the relics, etc.

Edit - The first one was 'alright' to me, but I remember I couldn't put down the second or third.
