Wordpress pagination for post name not working

I'm really stumped with this pagination problem with my custom Wordpress theme.

I have a custom page which views a list of 'books'. Everything displays correctly even the pagination. My permalink option is set to 'post name'. So when I want to see page 2 of my book list, I click on the '2' and I'm led to www.domain.com/book-list/page/2 which gives me a 404 error. However, when I change my permalink option to 'default', pagination works with ?paged=2.

I've searched for 2 days and I tried many different things but none seem to work. Would appreciate any kind of help.

Here are my methods from function.php:

function get_book_posts($type, $num, $category = ""){

  $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
  $args = array(
    'post_type' => $type, 
    'posts_per_page' => $num, 
    'paged' => $paged, 
    'category_name' => $category);

    $new_query = new WP_Query($args);
    query_posts($args);
}

function get_book_pagination(){
    $args = array(
      'prev_text'    => __('<'),
      'next_text'    => __('>'));

  echo paginate_links($args);}

From booklist.php

<?php $posts = get_book_posts('book', 6); ?>

<?php if(have_posts()):?>

<?php while (have_posts()):the_post()?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<div class="pagination">
    <?php get_book_pagination(); ?>
</div>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Change the the reading settings and make it default to 2 posts, after that again make the default permalink to custom permalink and your problem will be solved.

try this : 

<?php $posts = get_book_posts('post', 2); ?>
            <?php if(have_posts()):?>
            <?php while (have_posts()):the_post()?>
                <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
            <?php endwhile; ?>
            <div class="pagination">
                <?php 
                global $wp_query;
                get_book_pagination(); ?>
            </div>
            <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>          
            <?php endif; ?>

function.php

function get_book_posts($type, $num, $category = "")
{

  $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
  $args = array(
    'post_type' => $type, 
    'posts_per_page' => $num, 
    'paged' => $paged, 
    'category_name' => $category);

    $new_query = new WP_Query($args);
    query_posts($args);

}

function get_book_pagination(){
    global $wp_query;   
    $args = array(
      'prev_text'    => __('&lt;'),
      'next_text'    => __('&gt;'),    
        'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
      );

  echo paginate_links($args);
 }
