In science fiction:
The Wayfarers books The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and A Closed and Common Orbit were quite good. Fantastic world building and characters, although the plots seem to meander about with not too much purpose.

Farmer in the Sky is one of those books I re-read every few years.

And Barsk: The Elephants’ Graveyard would probably have to be rated my favourite for the year.

Horror:
Not really a horror fan, but stumbled into the I Am Not a Serial Killer series by accident a few years ago and love it. Read the forth and fifth in the series this year. If you’re more a psychological thriller than horror fan, give it a go anyway. (Shame about the awful movie adaptation.)

Crime/Thriller:
Fool Me Once upholds Harlan Coben’s usual good quality reads.

Memory Man and its sequel were good reads. Must chase up more by this author some time.

According to my goodreads list I’ve ready sixty books this year (so far). Although looking back through them while compiling this list, some of them were short stories. It will be interesting to see what my page count is when I do my yearly reading stats in a couple of weeks.
