How many have you read and are you on track?

Favorite reads of the year so far?

Least favorite reads of the year?

Any new releases you are looking forward to?

I've been really bad about tracking stuff this year. I just went back and added ~100 from this year. I don't really set goals; I don't track rereads and I don't want to be nudged in whether I should read something old or new when I finish a series.

My favorite new reads are CJ Archer. Her Glass and Steele and After the Rift series were both really enjoyable. I guess I'll also mention Karen Rose's Cold Blooded Liar. I think she's done great character development and story telling with a new pair of partners in every book, but this looks like a departure where she'll be following one character (pair?) through multiple cases and slow playing the development. I look forward to seeing how that plays out.

I'm looking forward to Beneath Dark Waters. It's the first Karen Rose arc where I couldn't just read the city straight through and I'm fiending for her to give me the next one.
