Get Your CopyStrong female lead? Check. Crazy post-apocalyptic unnamed future? Check. Death, survival and a touch of teenage romance? Check, check and check. This new YA novel (the first in a trilogy) is garnering serious praise and a lot of Katniss comparisons.
Get Your CopyDeceptively lighthearted and playfully experimental (think narration told through emails, faxes and other nontraditional media), Where'd You Go, Bernadette definitely brings to mind the award-winning A Visit from the Goon Squad.
Get Your CopyFrom an investigative reporter at The New York Times comes the explosive story of the rise of the processed-food industry and its connection to the obesity epidemic. Prepare to rethink your relationship with your shopping cart.

Get Your CopyFans of Scandinavian crime fiction rejoice! The Healer (about a serial killer haunting Finland) builds a believably dark and ominous world, and like The Girl With... series, sets to explore the darkest secrets of seemingly normal people.
Get Your CopyLike Patti Smith, Richard Hell was a foundational member of the New York punk scene (he most notably fronted the band Television), and like Just Kids, his gritty autobiography explores coming of age in an exciting and dangerous 1970s.
Get Your CopyAnn Patchett's Bel Canto has been widely praised for its effortless lyricism and attention to transcendent beauty in the face of great terror. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Orphan Master's Son follows suit, taking on the mysterious and misunderstood world of North Korea.

Get Your CopyWhy are people named Kim more likely to donate to victims of Hurricane Katrina rather than those of Hurricane Rita? Can decorating your walls make you more honest? NYU psychology professor Adam Alter explores the visual forces that shape us in this Gladwell-esque pop-sci romp.
Get Your CopyThe Tiger's Wife may have already hit your book-club circles, but if you haven't picked up this novel about a Balkan doctor and the remarkable power of allegory, it's worth doing so now. The Life of Pi similarities go beyond the tiger, we promise.

Get Your CopyThough Sheryl Sandberg may be having a moment, she's certainly not the first to advise women in the workplace. How Remarkable Women Lead was written in 2009 with a message of empowering self-advocacy that would definitely fly at your nearest "Lean In Circle."
Get Your CopyBooks about how we deal with death might not be at the top of your beach-read list. But if you're a fan of the brutally honest and lyrically raw Didion, it's worth picking up Will Schwalbe's stunning memoir about the book club he formed with his mother in the final years of her life.
Get Your CopyHere to prove that the young-adult genre isn't all vampires and dystopian death games is the aptly named Rainbow Rowell. Her charming Eleanor & Park--about two quirky teens who fall in love--brings to mind last year's stellar The Fault in Our Stars.
Get Your CopyPreorder this debut novel (it hits bookstores in July) about a young Mexican girl who uses a game of cards to tell the story of her family's tragic demise. Like Junot Diaz, Zambrano has a flair for the intersection of Latin American history and the plight of the average teenager.

Get Your CopyIn the wake of Erin Morgenstern's magical-meets-historical The Night Circus comes The Golem and the Jinni, a gorgeous novel about a chance meeting between two mythical beings (one Yiddish, one Middle Eastern) in 1899 New York.

Get Your CopyGeorge R. R. Martin not writing fast enough for you? Try The Name of the Wind, the first in Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller series. This high-action tale of a young magician making his way in the world has the epic nature of Game of Thrones with a little dose of Narnia thrown in.
