I think the last book that I read and loved was The Piper's Son by Melina Marchetta, which is the companion novel to Saving Francesca. If you've never read Marchetta's work, I highly recommend them. :) She's an Aussie author that writes contemporary fiction. Jellicoe Road was one of my favorite reads last year. She has a fantasy book out, Finnikin of the Rock, but I haven't gotten around to it.
