I kept track this year, and except for a few misses (always possible) I have read 244books this year. 125 of those were GNs, so depends on how you are counting....

7. Paper Towns by John Green
8. The Latent Powers of Dylan Fontaine by April Lurie
9. How to Be Bad by E. Lockhart, Sarah Mlynowski, and Lauren Myracle
10. Tekkon Kinkreet by Taiyo Matsumoto
11. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
12. Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I just finished reading "Let It Snow" and liked it too.
Great list!
I have Graceling checked out and the Knife of Never Letting Go on hold. It will be a miracle if I get to read them both by the end of the month. And Let It Snow is on my desk, too. We just got that one in.
