Invader by C J Cherryh
I used to think books with overly politicky plots were too much hard work for entertainment. Too many characters to memorise, each with their factions and affiliations and reasons for plotting against each other. I still have to be in the right mood for it, but Cherryh does the political story so well. And with aliens and spaceships and linguistic interestingness! I really enjoy a well-written alien society.

The Woman who Rides Like a Man (Song of the Lioness book 3) by Tamora Pierce
I might have read this book before. Just once or twice, maybe a little more. It was on the library's withdrawn books trolley for a dollar, can't say no to that. Probably enjoyed these books more when I was eleven, but they're still good now, and it's interesting to re-read them now and see how my interpretation of them changes.
