So next month, I'll be on a local con panel on what's hot in SF/F/H in 2009. To say I'm not hip to what's hot in adult SF is as much understatement as it is painfully outdated slang. Thankfully, though, AKICOLJ -- so I ask you, got any recommendations?

Parameter: must be science fiction or fantasy published in the States in 2009. And be hot.

I have a sense of what's up in YA, but feel free to rec those too. And, yes, Catching Fire is on the top of my list.
