March
New Moon -- Stephenie Meyer
(half of) Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse -- edited by John Wesley Adams. Read it for specficbooks, ran out of time to read it.

The Ginger Star -- Leigh Brackett
A Simple Plan -- Scott B. Smith

I Am Legend -- Richard Matheson
May
Wolverine: Election Day -- Peter David
Eclipse -- Stephenie Meyer
June
Star Trek: A Singular Destiny -- Keith R.A. DeCandido (kradical). A shake-up of the Star Trek universe far more traumatizing than what happened in J.J. Abrams's film. VERY good, and I'm not just saying that because it was written by a friend and has cameos by friends of mine. (zarhooie's mentioned as part of a starship bridge crew!)
Skeleton Crew -- Stephen King. I laughed out loud at "Survivor Type."
Insomnia -- Stephen King
July
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith+ (I'd forgotten to list that one. Now, come Oct. 6th, 2010, I'm actually bothering to re-list it!)

August
Young Hercules: Cheiron's Warriors -- kradical. This was intentionally light, funny reading for my blood donation day on Aug. 1st, 2009. I like to be in a goofy mood when giving blood. This fit the bill.
The Dead Zone -- Stephen King
Letters from the Earth: Uncensored Writings of Mark Twain
The Red Tree -- Caitlin R. Kiernan (greygirlbeast
Hearts in Atlantis -- Stephen King
"The Body" (novella) -- Stephen King. I re-read this part of Different Seasons in preparation for seeing its adaptation, Stand By Me, again.
September
Young Hercules: The Ares Alliance -- kradical. I wanted something quick, funny and light. Again.
A Guide to the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria of 1692 -- David C. Brown. Not all that interesting or well-written. Oh, well.
Darkness of the Light: Book 1 of The Hidden Earth -- Peter David
Geek Love (finally, after working on it for about a year; it was a tough book for me) -- Katherine Dunn
The Golden Apples of the Sun -- Ray Bradbury (short stories)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Blackout -- kradical
Around the World in 80 Days With Michael Palin -- Now I want to read Jules Verne's original.
Pure Drivel -- Steve Martin.
The Screwtape Letters -- C.S. Lewis. Read as part of my "see if I want to get rid of these books I've had for ages" effort. This one I wound up keeping.
Fight Club -- Chuck Palahniuk. Fascinating novel, fascinating writer, but I'm truly and deeply glad I do not think like Chuck Palahniuk or his characters.
Surprised By Joy: The shape of my early life -- C.S. Lewis

December
The Talisman -- Stephen King and Peter Straub
Breaking Dawn -- Stephenie Meyer
The Food of the Gods - and how it came to Earth -- H.G. Wells. Often almost tongue-in-cheek, especially in the first half. Wasn't expecting Wells to show a sense of humor...
