Favorite fiction: Furious Heaven by Kate Elliott
Favorite non-fiction: A History of New Zealand in 100 Objects by Jock Phillips
Favorite historical fiction: Where the Rēkohu Bone Sings by Tina Makereti (honorable mention to Kāwai by Monty Soutar which was hugely ambitious but distracting-ly clunky in its writing)
Favorite fantasy: Crown of Stars audio version, one of the best narrations I've ever heard. It was such a pleasure to experience this series again via audio
Favorite Sci-fi: see favorite fiction :)
Favorite Romance: n/a, romance was all meh for me this year but I did re-read The Lion's Daughter by Loretta Chase which I still adore
Favorite Thriller/Mystery: Racing the Light by Robert Crais
