Book recommendations

So I have heard a lot of good things about The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and so I decided to go out and buy it last night...this book is amazing! I read it in one sitting and didnt get to sleep until 6AM. I have actually been on a vampire/paranormal romance kick for quite awhile and have been looking for more books like the vampire diaries, vampire academy, and house of night series. While The Hunger Games isn't about vampires, it's a must-read!!! Its a book set in the future where North America used to be. There is a capitol surrounded by 12 districts that each do something different, such as mining, textile, agriculture, etc and 75 years prior to when the book is set, there was a huge rebellion and ever since then a boy and girl between the ages of 12-18 are picked each year to participate in The Hunger Games, which is basically a fight to the death in a certain terrain for the entire country to watch every year over the course of a few weeks, done to remind the population that they control EVERYTHING and they can do ANYTHING. The twist to this story is that the main character and the guy from her same district that were chosen for these games have feelings for each other...too bad only one can make it out alive! You KNOW you want to read this. :) Also, I would recommend the vampire series I mentioned above and The Lightning Thief and the other Olympians books which is about greek mythology! If anyone has any other book recommendations for me, let me know! I go through books like its nobody's business! :D
