Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld
This is an extremely good book. It's hard to explain but it's about the future, after mankind basically destroyed the earth (global warming, destroying forests, polluting the ocean, etc) survivors made a new society where there's no argueing, war, etc. Everyone is considered "ugly" until they turn 16 and have this sugery that makes them "pretty" and they move to this part of town where all they do is have fun and party all day and night. Tally, the main character cant wait to turn pretty. She meets Shay who's a rebal and convinces Tally to leave the city for a night to see what's out in the wilderness. Tally learns all kinds of things about being pretty and the truth is.. it's not really pretty. EXTREMELY good, and the sequals (Pretties, Specials) are even better. It's full of adventures, cool technologies, romance, etc. There's also a fourth book from another perspective and it's set in Japan called Extras.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
This book is also set in the future and is extremely intense like you're actually in the book. It's setting is in Panem, a city that's now in what's left of North America (which has become smaller after global warming and melting of the ice caps). Surrounding Panem are 12 districts where each year, one boy and girl between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen to be in the Hunger Games where they are put into an arena and battle each other and try to survive until there's only one left and is the winner. There's also romance in it and gets kind of sad. I cried at one point. haha but it's really good. Stephanie Meyers, author of Twilight, even recommended it.
Deadly Little Secrets by Laurie Stolarz
It's the first of it's series and is also really good. It's about a girl named Camelia who lives a normal life - dating, has friends, decent grades. But, one day when she was picking an earing that she dropped crossing the street, a car was coming towards her and it wasn't stopping. Suddenly, a hot guy shoves her out of the way, saving her life. He left without her saying thank you or asking what his name was. Three months later, she's starting her junior year in high school and there's this rumor about a new guy named Ben who supposedly killed his girlfriend. Camelia doesn't believe in rumors and when she sees Ben, it's the guy who saved her life. She tries to talk to him but he ignores her at first, but later Ben begins touching her weirdly but Camilia only gets more drawn to him. She later finds out he's not ordinary. He can know the future or past of a person by touching a person and he senses that Camelia's in great danger. Really intense but good with a twisted love triangle.
I've read twilight and loved it but some of these books might have been better.
Other books I've heard were good and planning to read is Need by Carrie Jones, Evernight by Claudia Gray, Lament by Maggie Stiefvater, Beastley by Alex Flinn, Old Magic by Marianne Curley, Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin, the Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Stolarz, and Evermore by Alyson Noel (coming out in February)

The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia Wrede. The series consists of four novels:
1. Dealing with Dragons
2. Searching for Dragons
3. Calling on Dragons
4. Talking with Dragons
The books are fantasy, with good adventure and plenty of humor. I read the series again about every two years. I know it's a good series for young people because I was student teaching in an 8th grade class when I discovered it. Some of the students recommended it. But so far all the adults I have recommended it to have also enjoyed the novels.

Suzanne Collins' "Gregor The Over lander" series is pretty good.
Anne MacCafferty's "Dragon Riders of Pern" is a classic series.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman - Hilarious, witty, and incredibly entertaining. A bit like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy but dealing with angels and demons instead.
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien - Brilliant, epic, and beautifully written.
Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett - Light hearted and fun fantasy about a young witch and her adventures.
The Abhorsen Series by Garth Nix - Great adventure trilogy about a young necromancer. Amazing plot and highly entertaining.
The Darkangel by Meredith Ann Pierce - A story about a young girl who infiltrates the Darkangel's lair after he kidnaps her friend. Really interesting, but dark read.
Talking to Dragons (Series) by Patricia C. Wrede - Hilarious serious all about princesses, dragons, and mischief.
A Great and Terrible Beauty (Series) by Libba Bray - Wonderful coming of age series about a young girl who is sent to a finishing school in England. She encounters secrets from her past and finds she posses powers she never knew existed. Brilliant read.
A Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer - Wonderful book about a young boy who must go on a dangerous adventure to save his family
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Non fantasy
The Lovely Bones - Beautiful book about a girl's murder and subsequent stay in heaven. (Kind of like Speak)
Naked by David Sedaris - Hilarious memoir by a hilarious author. Definitely worth the read.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - I would recommend all of Austen's books but this one seems to be everyone's favorite. A self discovery novel about love and the surprises it brings.
Snow Falling on Cedars - Great book that deals with prejudices and racism during the WWII era on a small island called San Pedro (fiction).
My Sister's Keeper - Beautiful book about a girl who was born because of her sister's illness.
