My year has been dominated by series books. I think I am subconsciously trying to de-clutter my list of collections on the Kindle, so I am trying to finish the series books I have. I have been reading Star Trek, Charlaine Harris, JD Robb (which I read in paper and have been re-reading in ebook thanks to a Fictionwise sale) and Victoria Laurie. Haven't touched the Janet Evanovich yet---got the whole series for about $5 thanks to a glitch with a Fictionwise coupon code where you could keep re-using the rebate, and keep meaning to get to these but have so much else to read that I haven't gotten to them.

I also went through a long-ish non-fiction stage. Highlights for me included:

- No Impact Man by Colin Beavan
- Nurture Shock by Po Bronson and Ashley Merriman
- Columbine by Dave Cullen
- The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn
- Relentless Pursuit by Donna Foote
- The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
- The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

And I have been doing my Smashwords reviews. Only two standouts so far, which has been disappointing. Many of the true 'indie' books in the sense that they were totally self-pubbed honestly felt more like first drafts to me. I am hoping that as the project continues, I will find some better ones.
