Best book of the year was "Saints of Whistle Grove" -- hands down.  I'm kind of amazed that I haven't already read it another time or two.

Keating murder mysteries were very enjoyable even though that's not normally a genre I read.  The Lutheran setting and the theological/moral perspective was great (without being at all preachy).  I'm looking forward to continuing the series.  I did need a little break, though, from all the BadGuyStuff.

The Aug-Sept books were pretty good.  The Kindle freebies (Nov-Dec) weren't bad.
