Vessel, Sarah Beth Durst [library book, young adult, Arabian Nights-style fantasy]. (I wasn't sure about this book at first, but it drew me in and hooked me. This is an Arabian Nights-style fantasy with a woman of color for the protagonist, along with an unique mythology and well-drawn characters.)
Brave New Love: 15 Dystopian Tales of Desire, Paula Guran [library book, young adult anthology, dystopian]. (Dystopias, post-apocalyptic, teen romance--what a combination! Except for the final story, which I did not like, there are some outstanding stories here. Especially notable are Elizabeth Bear's "The Salt Sea and the Sky" and Diana Peterfreund's "Foundlings.")
Trapped, Kevin Hearne [purchase, fiction, urban fantasy]. (This is the fifth book in the Iron Druid Chronicles, and it shows satisfying growth for both main characters. Atticus, in particular, is nowhere near as juvenile as he used to be. You don't usually think of urban fantasy as being humorous, but this series is--I laughed out loud at several points. Recommended.)
Year-end review coming soon.
