Assistance Needed: What to Read?

So, I still haven't finished my Nonfiction Monday post. As it's 10:20, and I'm beat, something tells me it's going to be a Nonfiction Tuesday post. Oops.

It's not that I haven't been reading. Quite the contrary! I've been reading so much in an effort to read each and every Cybils nominee, that posting about what I've been reading has become a challenge. And yet, I'm going to take a moment now to think about Christmas break, and what I should read then - AFTER all this Cybils reading.

I'm thinking some YA fiction is in order, and I've got plenty just piled up and waiting to be read.

Thus the question becomes not "What to read?" but rather, "What should I read first?" or "What MUST I read before the end of 2009?" Here are the options:

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia

Going Bovine by Libba Bray

The Knife of Never Letting Go: Chaos Walking: Book One
and The Ask and the Answer: Chaos Walking: Book Two by Patrick Ness

Splendor: A Luxe Novel (The Luxe) by Anna Godberson

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld

Ash by Melinda Lo

Candor by Pam Bachorz

After by Amy Efaw

Because I am Furniture by Thalia Chaltas

The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1) by Rick Riordan

...or maybe something that I haven't even remembered to put on this list because I've been so focused on nonfiction for the past few months. I know I've missed some titles that should be on the list.

Suggestions, please!
