Just off the top of my head, a few things I'd rec (or have already recced) to people here...
George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series (Beware, only 4 of the planned 7 books are out so far) Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series and the Curse of Chalion-world books Tinker by Wen Spencer The Flambards trilogy (which is actually 4 books) by K.M. Peyton Sarah, Plain and Tall and the 4 sequels (woo-hoo!) by Patricia MacLachlan The "Tales of the Otori" trilogy by Lian Hearn (Book 4 is coming this fall and a prequel next year - fake Medieval Japan, with magic and a trickster hero) The "Crown of Stars" series by Kate Elliott (7 books, but at least they're all out, unlike Martin) Sunshine by Robin McKinley
Some mysteries: Charles Todd's post WW I mysteries Phillip Kerr's Bernie Gunther books Dick Francis Dennis Lehane Francis Fyfield Minette Walters Martin Cruz Smith's Arkady Renko books River of Darkness by Rennie Airth Johnny Under Ground by Patricia Moyes
