You. Have. Not. Read. The. Hunger. Games? That series is freaking EPIC! Here are my favorite books/book series:

1) Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare!!! My BFF and I constantly fangirl over this series! It is about Shadowhunters, part-human, part-angelic who defend Earth from demons.  Their government is the Clave, which defeated the ex-clave revolutionist, Valentine, and his followers at the Uprising because they objected to the Clave allying themselves with Downworlders, part-demons.  Everyone thought he was killed, but when the seemingly ordinary teenager Clary Fray gets involved, that just might change... This story has everything: action scenes, romance, fantasy, romance, suspense, romance, drama, some very... steamy romance scenes, and just overall epicness!  Oh, and Jace... *drools*  I once spent 15 minutes drooling over him on the cover of the fifth book.

2) The Looking Glass Wars series by Frank Beddor: This series completely revolutionizes Alice in Wonderland! I mean, Alice is a fierce warrior princess, the Mad Hatter is a trained bodyguard of Queen Genevieve of Wonderland, and the Cheshire Cat is an assassin with nine lives!  How can anyone think of that?  In Wonderland, everyone has the power of imagination to materialize objects by just picturing them in his/her mind (not as easy as it sounds).  The story centers around Princess Alyss Heart with the strongest imagination of all, whose seventh birthday is crashed by her evil Aunt Redd who battled against her sister Genevieve 12 years ago for control of Wonderland's crown.  She was bitterly defeated and exiled, but now, she's back and ready from revenge.  The two sisters battle, the benevolent Genevieve fighting with White Imagination and Redd with Black Imagination.  During the fight, Genevieve's bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, takes Alyss to the Pool of Tears, a portal to Earth, where Alyss is to live for 13 under the name of Alice Liddel, the muse of Lewis Carrol, who twists her tragic tale of Wonderland into the whimsical 'Alice in Wonderland'. Trust me, it's really cool, with a bit of romance from a certain guardsman... :D

3) Inkheart series: Ever dream of entering your favorite book? Not only has 10-year-old Meggie dreamt of it, but she actually can!  Like her father, Meggie was born with the ability to bring words to life by reading aloud, but the characters aren't always the nicest.  And reading aloud Inkheart may have disastrous consequences...  This book is so cute, a real classic for me.  I'm rereading it for the sixth time, and it doesn't get old.

Okay, those are my top three, and I might add more tomorrow if I feel like it.
