Top-10 Science Fiction

I'm a pretty big fan of this genre, so let's see how this goes. All of the books mentioned include their series. The worst part about writing this list was struggling not to include all the Dystopia or Steampunk books. I tried to focus more on pure geeky scienc-ey stuff, but that was really hard.
PS. Sorry a little late but I was sick (lame excuse)

1. Insignia by S.J. Kincaid

2. The Host by Stephanie Meyer (wait, isn't that the lady who wrote Twilight? Umm, yeah but what can I say, the Host was actually good. Can't wait for the movie...)

3. Cinder by Marissa Meyer (you should go read this if you haven't yet)

4. Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson (the first 3 only)

5. For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund

6. H.I.V.E. by Mark Walden (uh-huh the Higher Institute for Villainous Education, how awesome is that?)

7. The Softwire: Virus on Orbis 1 by PJ Haarsma (random read from years ago - pure sci-fi)

8. Incarnate by Jodi Meadows)
