The Memory Keepers Daughter and Girl in Blue are excellent books. Girl in Blue is historical fiction about a woman disguised as a man in the Civil War.

You don't say how old you are, what gender you are, or what sort of books you like to read, but one way to find out what's new and what's interesting is to leave your email address at Borders and you'll get a nice email newsletter frequently that has many suggestions for good new books to read.
Also, one good way to find out what's new is to visit your public library and ask them to show you where the "new books" section is. They'll be happy to help you find something in your age/sex/interest categories that will interest you!
Good hunting!

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy book that you might like. The title is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you like Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter type books, this may be one you'll enjoy.
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.

Once in a Lifetime by Gavin Newsham. It's not great but decent if you dug the NASL and the New York Cosmos.
