53. The Way of the Wizard, edited by John Joseph Adams -- pretty good collection. One of the things I was impressed by is the mix of famous and new-to-me names, the number of female authors in the anthology (just a little less than half), and the number of non-Caucasian names (still a distinct minority, but more than one normally sees). ( Individual stories with spoilers )

59. T.A.Pratt, Poison Sleep -- book 2 of the Marla Mason chronicles, that I picked up on a whim (and without reading book 1). If it were better written, it might have been exactly what I've been looking for. As it is, it's not a bad series to tide me over between The Dresden Files books. ( More, WAY SPOILERY )
