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.
