Below, you’ll find the complete (mostly) list of what I’ve been reading this year. (sorry, titles and authors only…but you can check out my profile on goodreads, where I’ve at least given most of the things I’ve finished a rating.)

As has been the trend since a certain comic book nerd entered my life, you’ll see a bunch of comics and graphic novels on the list. This is the year that I’ve discovered Brian K. Vaughn. Some other things that I’ve found notable this year:

• YA author Cecil Castellucci. I first encountered her through her Minx offering, The Plain Janes. I’ve since read several of her YA novels, my favorite of which I think was Beige.
• The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. Breathtaking.
• A satisfying ending to the Harry Potter series. I loved Deathly Hallows. Loved. Yes, there were problems with it. Don’t care.
• Fantastic unpublished novels by friends. I am so lucky to know such talented people.
• Continued love for Meg Cabot, Stephen King and Laurie Halse Anderson.

There were also a couple of disappointments, most notably Hey, Nostradamus, which I didn’t think lived up to Douglas Coupland’s earlier work, and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, which just didn’t live up to my expectations.

Of course, my reading slowed quite a bit from September until the end of the year because of my employment situation, but I can’t complain. 😉
