July
37. Torchwood: Into the Silence - Sarah Pinborough

39. Keeping the Dead - Tess Gerritsen (Devoured in a day, as usual).
40. The Killing Place - Tess Gerritsen (Again, devoured)
August
41. Prep - Curtis Sittenfeld (DO NOT waste your time reading this)

43. The Silver Crown - Robert O’Brien
44. Rapture in Death - J.D. Robb
45. Ceremony in Death - J.D. Robb

49. Lord Sunday - Garth Nix
50. Vengeance in Death - J.D. Robb
51. Holiday in Death - J.D. Robb
October
52. Doctor Who: Night of the Humans - David Llewellyn (this book is responsible for my current poor reading rate. I just couldn’t get into it and didn’t really care about it and therefore it took me about a month to read the kind of book I usually finish in a day.)
53. Doctor Who: The Forgotten Army - Brian Minchin
54. Conspiracy in Death - J.D. Robb
55. Loyalty in Death - J.D. Robb
November
56. Further Under the Duvet - Marian Keyes
57. Frankie and Stankie - Barbara Trapido (This was an odd one because I disliked the writing style but liked the characters so wanted to keep reading to see what happened).
58. All Together Now - Monica McInnerney
59. Witness in Death - J.D. Robb
60. Judgment in Death - J.D. Robb
61. Doctor Who: Apollo 23 - Justin Richards

66. Witch & Wizard - James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet
67. Doctor Who: The King’s Dragon - Una McCormack
68. The Ivy Chronicles - Karen Quinn
I'm annoyed I didn't make it to 70, especially because I had two books on the go at the turn of the year. I've subsequently finished one of them and the other is annoying me.
