biblioceraptor I would recommend Graceling
Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1) by Kristin Cashore
(just look how pretty the cover is!)
and Betrayal .
Betrayal (Trinity, #1) by Fiona McIntosh
because, even though the settings for both these books are completely different from TMI/TID (they are medieval fantasy-ish), the characters (especially the guys) remind me of the guys we love from TMI/TID, and the female characters are strong and independent.
And these are either completed trilogies or books that already have at least 2 sequels, so you won't be dying from the need to know. I also suggest these books because they are a bit more under-rated than the books that most YA readers like us would've read (e.g. The Hunger Games, Delirium, Twilight, Divergent, Uglies, Matched, Fallen, Hush Hush... etc. face it, we've all read those already.)

Please give me suggestions too; I need something to do with my life while waiting for Clockwork Princess and City of Heavenly Fire.
Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3) by Cassandra Clare City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6) by Cassandra Clare

★ Mist ☆ Cassidy ★ Across the Universe
If I Stay
Divergent
Cinder
The Name of the Star
Anna Dressed in Blood
Prophecy of the Sisters
A Temptation of Angels
The Summer I Turned Pretty
Matched
Paranormalcy

That's all of my favourite books disincluding Cassie's books, Harry Potter (I'm guessing you've read them or atleast given them a shot), and the ones you mentioned

I agree! :D I love them! and her!

I've read the Alanna books, Trickster books, and Protector of the Small.
I've promised myself I will finally start the Bekka Cooper ones because I have been told they are amazing! :D
Her characters remind me of Graceling. <3


Nicole D. Have you read her Circle of Magic books?They are really good also.Or her series that starts with Wild Magic and has a girl that can talk to animals?

I tried them when I was 12 and found them too complicated/complex and never finished them - but then, I was 12. I'd probably enjoy them now! :D

I've been told Vampire Academy is pretty good especially in light of some poor-quality books that have come out recently haha. I think I will read that soon. Also started Percy Jackson series - it's very 12-year-old boys' book but I still like it and will finish the series.
I have borrowed a copy of Eragon and will start it during uni break. :D
Read HP, Twilight, Hush Hush and Fallen. Was not impressed with Fallen... :(

2nd The Iron Daughter
3 rd The Iron Queen
4th Ash's story! The Iron Knight

Max The Uglies series is really good, but only read the first three. I barely made it into the first couple pages of the fourth one before I gave it up.

I've actually read book 1 and liked it (although the hoverboards were a bit random), and I will read book 2 and 3 for sure! I've been told book 4 is a bit silly especially since it doesn't have the same main character in it so I shan't bother with it.
