The Hunger Games and Uglies are easily my two favorite trilogies (well, one's a pseudo-trilogy) and so I just requested all of the others in the section with those. :D The Declaration sounds amazing.<br /><br />I would also recommend anything by Scott Westefeld. (the author of Uglies) He's amazing.
