Dreams
I'm looking for idea's on books to read. I've read all of the Harry Potter Series, The Uglies Series, The Hunger Games, The Fallen Series (That is out so far), The Shadow Falls Series (That is out so far), House of Night Series (That is out so far), and The Love at Stakes Series (That is out so far). Does anyone have any suggestions of books they've enjoyed? I'm read romance novels, one of my favorites Authors Nora Roberts but right now I just can't get into them. I've also heard that Anne Rice's books are good. Which ones would you suggest? Thanks in advance for your help!

Divergent; book 1
By Veronica Roth
Summary;
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtueâCandor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really isâshe can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really areâand where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.
(long summary but it's pretty intense, i couldn't put the book down.) ;D
Insurgent; (book 2, released in May 1, 2012)
Shatter MeBy Tahereh Mafi --- :D loved this one the most.
Summary;
"You can't touch me," I whisper.
I'm lying, is what I don't tell him.
He can touch me, is what I'll never tell him.
But things happen when people touch me.
Strange things.
Bad things.
No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon.
But Juliette has plans of her own.
After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first timeâand to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever."
(Great book! also suspenseful)
matched by ally condie (highly recommended)
Summary; For Cassia, nothing is left to chance--not what she will eat, the job she will have, or the man she will marry. In Matched, the Society Officials have determined optimal outcomes for all aspects of daily life, thereby removing the "burden" of choice. When Cassia's best friend is identified as her ideal marriage Match it confirms her belief that Society knows best, until she plugs in her Match microchip and a different boyâs face flashes on the screen. This improbable mistake sets Cassia on a dangerous path to the unthinkable--rebelling against the predetermined life Society has in store for her. As author Ally Condieâs unique dystopian Society takes chilling measures to maintain the status quo, Matched reminds readers that freedom of choice is precious, and not without sacrifice.

Graceling by Kristen Cashore
Summary;Graceling takes readers inside the world of Katsa, a warrior-girl in her late teens with one blue eye and one green eye. This gives her haunting beauty, but also marks her as a Graceling. Gracelings are beings with special talentsâswimming, storytelling, dancing. Katsa's Grace is considered more useful: her ability to fight (and kill, if she wanted to) is unequaled in the seven kingdoms. Forced to act as a henchman for a manipulative king, Katsa channels her guilt by forming a secret council of like-minded citizens who carry out secret missions to promote justice over cruelty and abuses of power.

Good Action/Romance Books!?
Kim
I just got done reading Unwind and I loved it soooo much!!!! I love books like Unwind, and The Hunger Games. I'm not all into the vampires/werewolf or fantasy or anything. I like real world problems like those 2 books had whether its set in the future or past or whatever. I plan on checking out Shiver and The Uglies so yea. I also really like all of John Green's books as well. Any ideas on what I should read would be great. Thanks!
Answer
I love John Green, too. One of the best writers these days in any genre. Below are some of my favorite books with similar themes and elements as Unwind. Neil Shusterman is also a genius.
Across the Universe by Beth Revis - 2011. When 17-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo on a spaceship, she expects to be thawed 300 years later upon arrival at a new planet. However, her world turns upside down when she is awakened fifty years too early and finds herself embroiled in the mystery surrounding the attempted murders of frozen passengers. Her life endangered by Eldest, the tyrannical leader of the ship's maintenance population, she turns to her only ally: Elder, the young man destined to take Eldest's place as leader. As they solve the mystery together, romance blossoms between Amy and Elder, complicating an already complex situation.
The Shore of Monsters by David J. Nix â 2011. Five generations earlier, a horde of monsters nearly obliterated humanity. All males are dead or ruined by a monster plague; words like 'father' and 'romance' have lost meaning. When teenager Sky joins an expedition to the shore that falls apart, she must survive amongst the monsters that roam the ruins. She gets unexpected help from a very surprising source. Mystery, action, and romance follow!
Blood Red Road (Dustlands Series) by Moira Young â 2012. In a post-apocalyptic future, 18-year-old Sabaâs twin brother is stolen by black-clad riders. When tough-as-nails Saba launches a relentless search to recover him, she must fight
