The Hunger Games is the only one I've read from your list. I'll look out for some of the others you've recommended.

If you're looking for other YAs, The Gathering , White Cat , Red Glove and Incarceron are all good. 0.4 (Human.4) is a great tween science fiction.

You always have awesome monthly stats! A couple of those books I'd like to read.
Happy February reading!

Thank you. I was on vacation for much of January. Now that I'm back in school and getting up early to excercise, my reading stats are dropping.
