Oooh - I'll play. Been a very enjoyable year for reading for me, mainly series but so many to choose from...

Favourites:
  • Vorkosigan series by Lois McMaster Bujold - the first two were the weakest for me but great humour and storylines when Miles arrives...
  • Eli Monpress series by Rachel Aaron - light and funny fantasy from one of the few authors I read this year that knew how to write a satisfying final book
  • Trader Tales 1-4 by Nathan Lowell - light YA scifi for a change of pace, looking forward to the rest making it to ebooks
  • Wool 1-7 by Hugh Howey - 'nuf said
  • Tomorrow's World series by John Marsden - a soft spot for some down under fiction

Swing and a Miss:
  • Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brien - I have been assured the later books get better, but so utterly dull for landlubbers I haven't had the will to try them yet. My Dad also read it and felt the same, so not just me.
  • Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins - first book was great, second not bad if repetitive, this third was utterly disappointing...
  • I, Zombie by Hugh Howey - struggled to get through it, not a fan of short stories and especially not when repetitive like this.
