Location: New Zealand		Finished! Standouts from my reading this year have been:

Simon Green's Nightside series continues to be so much fun. As does Benedict Jacka's Alex Verus series. Looking forward to more of these. And they are both an excellent substitute while I wait for what I really want - Ben Aaronovitch's next Peter Grant novel! Seriously, when it is coming out?
Finished off both Kate Griffin's (aka Claire North) Matthew Swift and Mike Carey's (aka M R Carey) Felix Castor urban fantasy series. Both are outstanding.
Paul Cornell's Shadow Police was a surprising win for me. Very dark and gritty urban fantasy, and so well done. I normally don't like dark and gritty, but I fell for these ones.
Matt Ruff continues to please with Sewer, Gas & Electric. I have loved every book Ruff has ever written, so I don't know why this one has sat on my shelf unread for so many years.
I have always enjoyed reading Robert J Sawyer, so it comes as no surprise that I enjoyed Triggers. I just don't understand why it took me three goes at reading this book to finally get into it.
The Eternal Sky series from Elizabeth Bear was wonderful. Her best work yet.
And rounding out the favourites would be Transcendental from James Gunn and Memory by Linda Nagata.

Thanks for another fun challenge.
