Simply Love and One Night for Love by Mary Balogh: One of my favorite regency romance authors
The Legend of Luke and The Outcast of Redwall by Brian Jacques: More Redwall books. They apparently never end.
Pyramid Scheme and Pyramid Power by Eric Flint and Dave Freer: Amusing and good adventure stories.
Women of War edited by Tanya Huff and Alexander Potter: I was on a short story kick - most of the "edited by" books are borrowed from a friend
A Constellation of Cats edited by Denise Little
Slipstreams edited by Martin H. Greenberg and John Helfers
Fate Fantastic edited by Martin H. Greenberg and Daniel M. Hoyt
The Hob's Bargain by Patricia Briggs: This is one of my favorite books by her. I love the character development and combination of disaster novel and romance.
A Secret History, Carthage Ascendant, The Wild Machines, and Lost Burgundy by Mary Gentle: These were really good, if unusual, alternate history. It took me a while to get into the first one, but once I did I couldn't put them down. They are a bit dark.
Parallelities by Alan Dean Foster: An interesting SF premise, and I enjoyed the alternate universes.
Singer in the Snow by Louise Marley: A peek into how futuristic worlds will still have societal problems. Interesting world development, kind of dark for YA IMHO.
Worlds that Weren't by Harry Turtledove, S.M. Stirling, Mary Gentle, and Walter Jon Williams: The Mary Gentle story is from the Ash universe (and, while it was good, in my opinion should definitely be read after the 4 books). The Stirling story is from the Peshwar Lancers universe and was really good.
On Fire's Wings by Christie Golden: For a Luna imprint book (which I understand are supposed to be fantasy/romance crossovers) the universe and characters were interesting but the incest and death were squick. I'm returning it.
Reserved for the Cat by Mercedes Lackey: The fifth book in her Elemental Masters series. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others, I think perhaps because the heroine was pushed to do everything and wasn't as independent as in the previous books.
