This was an different year for me. I start working on an hard scheduled and that messed up my mind for some months. My physical conditions did hampered my reading as well... In the end it was not a lost year but it could have been better.
I've read only 73 books. And 11 of them I didn't finish. That's a new for me. As I said I wasn't good on my mind and some books didn't grab me.
But I will read them eventually...
My Top of the List books were
Gunheads by Steve Parker
On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony
The Death of Grass by John Christopher
No Boundaries by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore
Harry Potter the first three books
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
Cadian Blood by Aaron Dembski-Bowden
My Least Favourite or dissapointed of the year were
Only Forward - Michael Marshall Smith
Blood County - Curl Selby
Icebound - Dean Koontz
November's Mourns - Tom Piccirilli
Out of the Ashes - William W Johnstone
The Execution Channel - Ken Macleod
Shadow of the Xel'Naga - Grabiel Mesta

Comments
Before reading November's Mourn I've only read one book by you and it was great. I thought it was in the same level of Ramsey Campbell or Graham Masterton or Clive Barker.
It was A Choir of Ill Children and I thought it was great. So when I read somewhere a good review of November's Mourn I bought it and it didn't work for me. The reviews in amazon or in other blogs are good but you can't please greeks and troyans... But this doesn't mean that I won't try again.
I will buy another book and try again.
Happy holidays
