    Divergent by Veronica Roth
    Delirium by Lauren Oliver

    Both are like the Hunger Games in that futeristic dystopian society. I really enjoyed them! (They are also a multi-book series!)

    The Mortal Instruments seriesby Cassandra Clare is fantastic! The first movie for the series comes out in August of 2013 so you have time to catch up before it does.

    The Fallen series by Lauren Kate is good as well.

    Check out Jeff Lindsey. He worte the book the show Dexter is based on. The first two books are amazing. The 3rd is ok, and 4th and 5th are good.

    I also like John Sandford, Michael Connelly, Lee Child, and many others.

    1. Alice in Zombieland. Can't remember the author. Hey, the title made me raise eyebrows too but it was actually reeeally good. /shrug

    2. Virals by Kathy Reichs. She's behind the show "Bones" so the book was amazing. Couldn't put it down!

    And FYI? DON'T read The Maze Runner. Sooo dumb.

    Since you like vampires and some silliness, I would recommend the Betsy the Vampire series by MaryJanice Davidson. The Sookie Stackhouse series is great too but don't read it if you watch the tv series (True Blood) too. The characters are different and the story line gets quite different after the first few books.so it can get confusing.

    Also, since you mentioned "good reads", check out www.goodreads.com. You can rate books you've read and they'll give you suggestions. You can also friend people (a few of us MFP members are there) and see what they think of the books they're reading and get more ideas that way as well. I mostly love it because I can keep track of my to-read list and which books are next in some of the series I'm following (In Death by J.D. Robb, Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich, etc)

    Happy reading!

    I would suggest The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead. It's a teen series but really good. She also writes the Georgina Kincaid series, which is about a succubus. If you like Stephen King I would suggest any of his books, but would really reccommend The Dark Tower series. I've been reading a lot of mystery books right now, so I would suggest anything by Sue Grafton, J.D. Robb or Charlaine Harris. Charlaine Harris has more series than the Sookie Stackhouse series. Hope this helps.

    Seduction & Snacks and the sequel Futures & Frostings are hilarious! I laughed until I cried and had to stop reading for about 10 minutes from a couple of parts in these books.
