Ok is I have fallen in love with YA books. Only read a few though. Started off with Twilight series and couldn't put them down...l.the went to Hunger Games. Same thing! I read Divergent and I think that was my favorite so far!! Love love the romance and the female always being saved by the cute guy, but is also strong enough to help herself! Read Delirium and it was good. But probably my least favorite. I have to be really interested in a book to keep going, or I will just give up. I want to find more books that will keep my pages turning as quick as the others have. Any suggestions??

This one is a great stand a lone
This book is a make-you-a-rabid-fangirl and writhe-in-agony-for-the-sequel kind of book, if you don't like this one then I dunno what you would like, there is a seriously hot guy here.
This one is really a love story wrapped in an adventure.
and since you love Twilight then the Lux series is a great read for you starting with
and if you loved the Hunger Games then read
or
Wow!!! Thanks everyone! Have you all read the same ones I've read too?? Do all these have the same ideas to them as what I've been reading? I heard a lot of people recommend matched and maze runner and a few others, but they didn't get the best reviews. I've never been a "reader" before now and I just dont want to get into a string of books that don't match on awesome-ness to what I've read! :)
Krista, I have read the ones you mentioned and feel the same way. I love them all. Delirium was just ok for me. I will second everything Terry suggested. City of Bones, Anna and the french kiss and Graceling are books that I have read several times each. I loved Shiver too. Some others I might suggest are...

Wonderful!!! Thank you!!!!! I have put a lot of these in my to-read list. I guess I should have posted YA dystopian in the original post. I have actually just figured out that that is what these books were called. Sorry like I said. New to this whole thing. I always hated reading, but than realized I was reading the wrong books that didn't interest me......I think my favorite book to date is Divergent. I am so excited for book 3... I am not sure if I am into the sci-fi or paranormal stuff. Though I did like twilight. I guess I am still trying to find my nitch.

Then Twilight(the movie) came out and I loved it and I was like, there's no way I'm waiting 3-4 years to find out what happens, lol! So I went to the library and breezed through the series. After that, I was hooked. Divergent is definitely one of my top 10 favorite books all-time. It's just amazing.

I am always so scared that I will never top my last fav book, like I thought nothing would be as good as Twilight, than I found HG, and I was like Oh, thats it, number 1! LOL Than Divergent, and I was in love..... And now I want something just as good, and sappy with the romance but also have the action, and never ending page turning cant sleep til I read the next chapter feel....I think my next series will be Mortal Instruments....Do you think that one will give me what I am looking for?
I also started with Twilight and The Hunger Games and now can't get enough of the dystopian YA. I enjoyed

It is paranormal, obviously: vampires, but it's so freaking good. One of my favorite romances ever and plenty of action.

I have read many of the same ones you have read. I just recently read Trisha Leigh's first two books and they were awesome. Kind of a mix between dystopian and sci-fi.
