I've been reading reviews about Paper Towns and all were positive!
You've got some great titles on your list. I've been wanting to read The Book Thief for ages and haven't got to it yet.
Another really excellent YA book you could look at is Elijah's Coin by Steve O'Brien. It's a great read, mystery with a deeper message for young and old alike.
