Well I hope you have read The Hunger Games :-)The Across the Universe trilogy is my new favorite. I definitely recommend it! :-)
The Unwind series by Neal Shusterman
I will keep thinking!
There are some great dystopian lists that might be helpful. Here's one but there are many more :)http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/49...
My personal favorite dystopian is
but I also recommend
I don't think there's any book as good as the Selection, but Starters, the Hunger Games, and Uglies are pretty great dystopian books.
Ooh I love Uglies! And THG is definitely good :) I haven't tried Starters or the Selection, I guess I'll have to!
Like Divergent and better: The Hunger Games. Then there's also: Legend and Under the never Sky.And like The Selection: Masque of the Red Death - if you like the glamour mixed up with a little gothic elements, plus it also has a simmilar love triangle.

Yes!! Love them :)
Ooh I have Wither on my Kindle yay!!Lower your expectations. The author writes beautifully when it comes to transmitting her character's feelings, but she sucks at world building. While reading this you can see that she talks about something she knows nothing about. It's a shame she's so eager to write dystopia. She would be a much better author if she would write slice of life.
That's the only reason why I decided to try her new book: Perfect Lies. If this one turns to be the same as Wither I'm not trying her books anymore :( .
I was also sad, the first book really made me very excited, but the story didn't live up to my expectation.

Ugh *lowers expectations* World building is crucial for dystopians, so I might be disappointed in this one :(
World building is crucial for dystopiansYes it is. That's why I think she should re-orientate herself.

All of those are of the dystopian YA genre, like Divergent and The Selection. It also features my opinion of them. :)Slated series 5 stars
Shatter Me series 5 stars
Delirium series 5 stars
Partials series 4,5 stars
Wither series 4,5 stars
Angelfall series 5 stars
Under the Never Sky series 4 stars
Fade 4 stars
The Pledge 4,5 stars
The 5th Wave 4,5 stars
Matched 4 stars
Not dystopian, but YA, and ultimately the best series I have ever read (including my previous favorite, Divergent)
Throne of Glass
Crown of Midnight
Books of the genre that I am planning to read:
Across the Universe
The Knife of Never Letting Go
The Hunt
All Our Yesterdays
Defiance
Mila 2.0
Cinder
Coda
Unwind
Legend
Obsidian
The Maze Runner
Enclave
What's Left of Me
The Program
The Forest of Hands and Teeth
Black City
I hope this gives you some ideas :)

THE DARKEST MINDS."
I've been looking at that one too... Is it good? :)
...Is it good? IS IT GOOD?! It's like if Divergent and the Hunger Games had a baby equipped with super powers and kick-ass-ness.

I'll read it... Sarah J. Maas says I should, so that's what I'll do!
If you're still looking you might want to give Captured, Something Witchy This Way Comes, and Bound a try. They're all really great books.
if you like paranormal and historical fiction I would suggest you check out A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray, one of my favourites. You should also check out the Gone series by Michael Grant which is a great action packed series, and Blood Red Road by Moira Young, a dystopian series I love.
The hunger games Legend
The mortal instruments
Divergent
Matched
The infernal devices
And the list goes on and on and on.....
