Book titles are usually placed within quotes or _italicized_, in order to set them apart. Which one you use is a matter of style.

Assuming that your publisher has no style preference (some do), you can pick one or the other and stick to it. Whichever you use, be consistent.

Please note that all titles are not always styled the same way. It's fairly common to italicize book titles but set short story titles between quotation marks, for example. As long as a particular piece of text (an article, a story, a manuscript, etc.) is consistent in this regard, all is well.
