Cracked Up to be and Hunger Games are my faves out of those :)

DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY read The Book Thief if you haven't already. Other books I love (not new releases): Howl's Moving Castle, The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, Sabriel, I Capture the Castle, Fly by Night (this is Middle gradish but still wonderful).

I think you'd also like Wake, City of Bones, and The Darkangel by Meredith Ann Pierce.

HUGE new releases I've heard good things about: Beautiful Creatures, Fallen (not out yet).

Hope this helps if you need any other book recs or more specific books feel free to ask. I <3 giving book recs :)

LOOKING FOR ALASKA and PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER are the two that have made me say "wow wow wow" when I finished them.

I liked 1,2,3 and especially 8 on your current list, and plan to read 4.

Thanks Kath and Choco <3

I keep hearing good things about The Book Thief, so I'll add that.

Ooh, I just wish I can buy the whole book store! But anyways, I seen Howl's Moving Castle (the movie) It's one of my faves so I'll add that, just in case I can't find the other ones.

I've read City of Bones (loved it) and I was just on the author who wrote Wake's website yesterday. The premise seems interesting but the book seems a bit too short.

Ooh and I want to read Beautiful Creatures, so that's a definite back-up, but knowing Borders, they probably won't have it because the never have any books.

And I've seen The Blue Girl at Borders! I thought the cover was pretty cool, so now that you mentioned it, Kathleen, I'll have to take a look into it.

Thanks so much guys!

Thanks Kate!

I've heard so many good things about 1,2,3 & 8 and I thought it would be crazy if I didn't read them.

I've read Looking For Alaska, which reminds me that I do want to read Paper Towns...
