Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, The Long Earth, The Long War, and The Long Mars. These are good, although there are some problematic aspects that would take me a long and careful post to explain. But the Long Earth idea is compelling and fruitful.
George R.R. Martin (and others), Dangerous Women (anthology): some good, some great, and some terrible stories.
Lev Grossman, The Magician's land. OK, this is actually really fun.

Lev Grossman, The Magicians and The Magician King
Lev Grossman, The Magicians and The Magician King. Harry Potter and his friends go to Narnia in college. Better than you'd expect, and fun to read. The rare sequel that is better than the first, partly because there is an actual female character rather than stage prop, if she is a bit flat - so are the rest of them.
