I like strong female characters, happy endings (or books composed of mainly happy), fantasy and sci-fi, anything with time travel. go go go!

Looks like an awesome list! If strong female characters and sci-fi's your thing, then I still recommend Timothy Zahn's Star Wars books. Mara Jade for the win! :D

ooh! I shall add it to the list. I don't think I've read any books that come AFTER the series ends. I know some of the canon that pops up, but mainly I've stuck to pre-series. so ooh how interesting :D *adds to list*

Oh, those are like, the only Star Wars books I read! I don't find the pre-series nearly as interesting. I think it's because I'm more interested in going forward instead of expanding on what already happened.

But really, you pretty much just have to read the ones written by Zahn. The other books are either poorly written, wall-bang inducing, or are just depressing as hell.

Do you need the list of his books? I can type that up for you in two seconds. :B

oh god depressing books are DEPRESSING. Not good.

I'd love a list of the books!

Well, I just mean depressing in that once they switched to being published by Del Rey, they felt that everything needed to be ~dramatic and realistic, and started killing off characters. To quote Zahn, "If I want to read about the deaths of people I care about, I'll turn on the news
