I read Seanan McGuire's newest book in the Toby Daye series, "Once Broken Faith". It's the tenth in the series and while it wasn't the best so far, it was still very good. If you like faeries and urban fantasy, I heartly recommend this series.

I also read two humorous modern fantasy books from Tanya Huff: "Summon the Keeper" and "The Second Summoning". They were light and fun reads. The main character in the first book is Claire Hansen, a Keeper which is kind-of a witch who seals off portals to hell. The first book has also a romance triangle which wasn't as annoying as they usually are. Oh, and Claire has a talking cat with her. In the second book Claire's young sister Diana is also a main character. Diana is a teenager and a very powerful Keeper. The second book also has an angel and a demon who have to deal with teenaged bodies. So, lots of sex jokes and other jokes, as well. I liked them well enough but they were pure fluff.

Next up will be China Mieville's "City and the City" which I expect will be quite different.
