I read it weeks ago and am still obsessed with it! Also, The Hunger Games was excellent, I really enjoyed Matched by Ally Condie and Delirium by Lauren Oliver.

The Vampire Academy series is another one, as is the Wicked Lovely series, the Abhorsen Series, the Mortal Instruments series, Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires series, Holly Black's White Cat series, I would jump on anything from Kristin Cashore and Leah Cypess. I'll be getting Original Sin too! :D<br /><br />MartinaMartina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463170686978757118.post-88275585082973167882011-03-17T15:45:38.120-07:002011-03-17T15:45:38.120-07:00Most of my favorite books aren't series, so I ...Most of my favorite books aren't series, so I can't use your test on them. I guess my tests are a.) the book I can read over and over and b.) the book I can't bring myself to read again. So far, that includes Robin McKinley's Sunshine and Living Dead Girl.
