Barb and Tracie enthusiastically recommend 

The Martian by Andy Weir

Barb recommends:

Olivay by Deborah Reed

Blood Games by Jerry Bledsoe

The Old Maid by Edith Wharton

Tracie thought The Pocket Wife by Susan H. Crawford was well written but not that memorable, and that Death Trap by M. William Phelps covered an interesting true crime case but was extremely poorly written.
