I've been really bad about tracking stuff this year. I just went back and added ~150 from this year. I don't really set goals; I don't track rereads and I don't want to be nudged in whether I should read something old or new when I finish a series.

My favorite new reads are CJ Archer. Her Glass and Steele and After the Rift series were both really enjoyable. I guess I'll also mention Karen Rose's Cold Blooded Liar. I think she's done great character development and story telling with a new pair of partners in every book, but this looks like a departure where she'll be following one character (pair?) through multiple cases and slow playing the development. I look forward to seeing how that plays out.

I'm looking forward to Beneath Dark Waters. It's the first Karen Rose arc where I couldn't just read the city straight through and I'm fiending for her to give me the next one.
