I've been teaching myself about steampunk these past couple of months, and am quite excited for this debut novel by Beth Cato. A story about a healer and the intrigue and murder aboard the airship that's taking her to a war-torn region, The Clockwork Dagger brings together elements of fantasy, steampunk, and mystery in fascinating ways.
Fantasy

When a book's description opens with "Another day, another zombie T-Rex to put down," HOW CAN YOU RESIST. You've also got your Russian cyborg wizards, and supernatural threats to Great Britain, which Arthur Wallace and the MI37 must try to stop. Looks cool.
Humor

Here we have the first collection of Pratchett's nonfiction, with essays, speeches, and interviews on such diverse topics as mushrooms, orangutans, scifi conventions, and hats. If you love his widely-acclaimed Discworld series, check out this collection.
