Books
Jim Butcher: Cold Days
I adored Harry's reunion with Thomas. And the book was fun. Now, I wonder how many books before he actually meets Marcone again...
John Cleland: Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure
This was a surprisingly enjoyable read (no, not like that - well, maybe a little, oddly enough - I don't usually have much taste for het). I found myself quite liking Fanny, actually.
Suzanne Collins: Catching Fire
Fan Culture: Theory/Practice
Madeleine Hessérus: Staden utan kvinnor
Lawrence Lessig: Free Culture
J.D. Robb: Immortal In Death
Charles Stross: The Clan Corporate
Hmmm. I didn't like this as well as the first two books - mostly because the heroine spends the entire bloody story pretty much a captive of her scheeming relatives. Also, the whole forced marriage/pregnancy thing is just pure squick, and that storylines only redeeming quality lies in that it never actually happens, but still - I'm more than ready for Miriam to start kicking ass and taking names soon, yes?
Comics
Garth Ennis: The Boys: Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men
Jonathan Hickman: FF vol. 1.
Jonathan Hickman: FF vol. 2.
Have I ever mentioned how much more fun it is when the heroes and villains work together than when they fight?
Robert Kirkman: The Walking Dead: A Larger World
Hiro Mashima: Fairy tail vol. 19.
Star Wars: A Long Time Ago... vol. 1.
It's not that it's worse than so many other things, it's just jarring, the way all jossed stories are. Also, Leia is not nearly awesome enough in this... (though I find myself rather liking Valance the self-hating cyborg bounty hunter.)
Bill Willingham: Fables: Inherit the Wind
Brian Wood: Northlanders: Thor's Daughter and other stories
If you're not familiar with Northlanders, I recommend the series. This isn't the strongest collection - three short stories, none of them particularly amazing. Still, the series as a whole is very good, gritty Viking tales.
Norihiro Yagi: Claymore 17.
