Beauty Queens by Libba Bray. A planeload of beauty queen pageant contestants crash-lands on an uninhabited island. Satirical, witty, and just plain fun to read.
Going Bovine by Libba Bray. Told from the first-person viewpoint of a kid who is diagnosed with mad cow disease and wants to live. Much better than I'm making it sound.
Cold Days by Jim Butcher. The latest in the Harry Dresden series. Harry is a wizard in Chicago. He's become the Winter Knight to Queen Mab of Faerie. Adventures ensue. Every chapter ends on a cliffhanger and I couldn't put it down.
