I just finished reading Blood Song
Pretty good book, waiting on sequel now.
But now I am stuck with nothing to read.
Anyone with suggestions?

The song of ice and fire. It's a really good book, if you are interested in medieval comedy and romance where everyone is mortal and can die. It's also good for those who love the game of thrones television show.

Ever read Mercedes Lackey? I've read everything from here Obsidian Universe and her Valdemar Universe(which I highly recommend, and to read them in the order she wrote them not chronologically).

I will shamelessly recommend my 3 favorite series, in no particular order 1) night angel trilogy (about a kid who apprenticed to an assassin. Has some magic in it) 2) keys to the kingdom series (about a kid who was chosen to replace god after god left the creation to his 7 "angels" whom did a pretty shitty job. High fantasy.) 2) Skullduggery Pleasant series (about a skeleton detective and his companion. Starts off awesome, by the middle of the series one of the main characters gets their head ripped off, shrugs and just uses blood magic to reattach it and hyper regeneration to heal it. Yeh its awesome)

It honestly depends on what kind of books you're into, but a few worthwhile ones I've read recently (mind you some of them are slightly dated or revisiting older works):
The MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood (Oryx and Crake, Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam)
Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk (as a forewarning, this is very hard to read since it's deliberately in Pigeon English, which puts some people off but in my case increased the immersion because you really have to read it and figure out what is being said.) His new books Damned and Doomed are good as well, but very divergent stylistically from his other works (this was the author who did Fight Club, Survivor, etc.)
also, I've revisited recently the works of Phillip K. Dick, who wrote well enough that nearly everything he wrote gets adapted to film (Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, The Adjustment Bureau). In particular, I suggest Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (the book Blade Runner was based upon), Flow My Tears the Policeman Said, and The Man in the High Castle.
Edit: I almost forgot... Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is an immensely entertaining read of you haven't gone through it yet, and a great collaboration by two writers who are great on their own, much less as a braintrust.
