I feel your pain. Much as I applaud those who venture into the realm of self-publishing, as a reader I prefer books that have jumped through the hoops of the gatekeepers.
My year has been dominated by mandated reading for a graduate school program. Not many standouts there.
I did read a really fun, hardboiled murder story (it's in the MR library) --
Never Say No to a Killer by Clifton Adams.
Also an amusing murder mystery set in a writing workshop:
The Writing Class by Jincy Willet.
