A War of Gifts: An Ender Story (Ender)
Orson Scott Card
Tor Books, 2007
Great short story...
I wasn't really sure what to think of this book before I purchased it. I'm a huge fan of all of the Ender's Game books, and actually I'm currently reading Shadow Puppets.

Midnight in Death (In Death)
J.D. Robb
Berkley, 2005
short story
Bought this J. D. Robb book for wife. She was disappointed in it's length, it's not a novel but a novelette. Upon reading it, however, she found it enjoyable. For someone that doesn't like reading 400 page books, this is just fine.
