The January Dancer (sp?), by Michael Flynn.
I liked this, although I'd early put down another Flynn novel that I didn't like well enough to finish.
Iron Sunrise, by Charles Stross.
I liked this one too. I'm going back and reading some of Stross's work that I missed when it first came out.

SPQR XII — Oracle of the Dead, by John Maddox Roberts.
I've enjoyed this series, and this entry was good.
The Water Thief, by Ben Pastor.
I enjoyed this, though it was sometimes annoying.

Skin Trade, by Laurell K. Hamilton, copyright 2009; Berkley/Penguin Group (USA) Inc., Penguin Books Ltd.; June 2009; ISBN-13: 978-0-425-22772-5.
This is the seventeenth volume in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter. Again, I'm more interested in the paranormal metaphysics and the monster killing than the sex.
