Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
Jamie Ford
When we think about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, we tend to think about the way that affected those families. This story is about how the ripples of that displacement shaped the life of young Henry Lee.

Vaclav & Lena
Haley Tanner
This book is gorgeous and funny and heartbreaking. I'd get amnesia just to be able to read it again for the first time. (Okay, I don't really want amnesia. Instead I'll simply re-read Vaclav & Lena until I have it memorized.)

 Tails You Lose
Lisa Lutz & David Hayward
Former romantic partners alternate chapters in this crazy and funny new mystery. Their notes to each other and critiques of each other's writing—as well as pointed criticisms—are hilarious.

Yeats and W.H. Auden to Billy Collins and Robert Hass.
