Star Wars: Rogue Planet by Greg Bear

A solid novel set after Phantom Menace, when Obi-Wan and Anakin are still adjusting to the Master-Padawan relationship. It shows that pretty well; Anakin is headstrong and full of anger, but he's also clearly desperate for a the new family that the Jedi (and maybe a living starship) can provide. Plus, early adventures of Tarkin, and some background to the Outbound Flight books. Mildly recommended.

Web Of The Witch World by Andre Norton

Second in a series about a man from Earth in a fantasy world that has gates connecting it to other worlds both SFal and otherwise. This one is half about relationship troubles in a culture where witches are not supposed to have lovers, and half about finding the origins of the big bads from last book. Mildly recommended.

Sing The Four Quarters by Tany Huff

A novel about politics, wars, and spies in a fantasy world full of spirits and bards. Our heroine is a skilled bard who also happens to be a disowned princess. Good stuff, alternately heartbreaking and funny, recommended.

Requiem, edited by Yoji Kondo

A worshipful collection of remembrances, put together after Heinlein's death. Not especially recommended to most audiences; read his works instead, if you're interested.
