Lately, most of my books have been spur-of-the-moment buys that have to do with a critical paper I'm writing on LGBT SF/F. If I can use it for the research, I want it. They're all SF/F.
The "Probably will buy" list mostly aims toward specific SF/F content; if there's LGBT stuff in there, I want it. Like (and forgive me if I get the name wrong) Clegg's book about Mordred--I want that one. It also goes for people I know and consider friends and therefore want to support--Toby Buckell, for instance (though I still haven't bought Ragamuffin and feel guilty about it.)
As for "must buy" specific people--Lynn Flewelling; I love all her books. Anything to do with Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover. Jacqueline Carey has been relegated to paperback only after the first Imriel book, and now it's more to have the whole set of books. I'll buy Greg Frost's (frostokovich's) new book when it's out because I heard him read from it and I'm intrigued.
The one recent exception is pbray's The First Betrayal and The Sea Change, because she blogged about how hard it was to write a torture scene in the second book, which made me curious to read it.
