I just finished up THE AGE OF MIRACLES by Karen Thompson Walker, a coming-of-age story with a sci-fi twist (the world is slowing its revolutions) that is just absolutely wonderful. Very grounded, never skates by on the premise, but fully explores every implication both personal and global.
Right now I'm suffering through a cold and thus picked up a random book off my nightstand: TOOTH AND CLAW by Jo Walton, which is a Trollope or Austen-esque comedy of manners set in a society populated entirely by dragons. It is really, really well done and interesting. I thought it might be stupid but I can't recommend it highly enough.
