By the time the year is through, I should finish just over 100 books for the year, disregarding some of my re-reads, such as the Sten series by Cole and Bunch and the Chalion books by Bujold, and a dash of Tolkien.
The best of the year:
Best new (to me) author - Jack Carr (not SF or Fantasy)
Best Fantasy - The Ile-Rien series by Martha Wells
Best Urban Fantasy - A Terrible Fall of Angels (new series start by Laurell K. Hamilton)
Best Science Fiction - Governor (new series start by David Weber)
Best Science Fiction series - Donovan series by Michael W. Gear, or Dread Empire's Fall series by Walter Jon Williams, or The Palladium Wars series by Marko Kloos, or Major Bhajan series by Asaro. All worth the time.
Best Mystery/Thriller - Serpentine by Jonathan Kellerman
Best non-Fiction - Kitchen Confidential by Andrew Bourdain
In other news, Benedict Jacka's Alex Verus series finally wrapped up with Risen, there were new iterations of October Day and Jane Yellowrock, Bujold's Penric, Weber's Honorverse,
