If you like vampires, action, and romance (read s e x) then you can't go past the True Blood series by Christine Harris. Very easy to read as well. Another easy to read chick lit series is the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella.
Second Jodi Piccoult, especially My Sister's Keeper (much better then the movie), and Plain Truth.
I also liked Tully by Paullina Simons
