"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot -- Okay, you didn't ask for non-fiction books, but this is one of my most favorite books of all time, so :P

"Chime" by Frannie Billingsley -- such a completely perfect representation of the inner landscape of someone who's been abused. The hopeful ending broke my heart and put it back together again, but I still end up sobbing every time I try to read it.

"Three Parts Dead" by Max Gladwell -- amazingly well-written non-European fantasy. *____* This book is the first written, but "Last First Snow" is the first chronologically, afaik.

"The Goblin Emperor" by Katherine Addison -- such a quiet, comforting read. <3 <3 <3
