Favorite books read?
An Unsuitable Heir by K.J. Charles
Least favorite?
The Double Dealer by David Liss. I just don't think a short story from a new character works well in that world. There were mechanical reasons why the story couldn't have been told by Benjamin Weaver, but it's just not a series where jumping straight into a new person's voice for an extremely limited amount of time can result in something that fits with the series as a whole. (Either that or James Patterson can even ruin things where he only claims the title of editor and doesn't even pretend to have written any part of it.)

Any in translation?
Some I'm sure but it's hard to keep track when I'm not picking them myself
How many of this year's books were from the library?
I'm not sure I have any hope of tracking this accurately until after I'm off Notable Books Council, since I know there were several cases where I read the library book before the publisher copy arrived.
Book that most changed my perspective:
Never Caught by Erica Armstrong Dunbar
Favorite character:
Adam Fucking Reynolds, in "The Year of the Crocodile."
Favorite scene:
When Adam Fucking Reynolds goes to talk to Tina's mom at work.
