Brain Camp, by Susan Kim, Faith Erin Hicks, et al
This was cute and cheerfully creepy. Love Faith Erin Hicks' style, will read just about any comic she draws.

The Wrong Hill to Die On, by Donis Casey
Not my favorite of this series. A bit too fragmented and earnest, but I still enjoyed it. It was very comforting to spend time with the lovable and upright protagonists.

The Black Hawk, by Joanna Bourne
Someone back in February told me I would like this and I believed them well enough that I sent myself an email, but I don't remember anything else about who it was or why they thought I would like it. It was a bit too Template Historical Romance for me at times, but it was also a cracking good Scarlet-Pimpernel-style adventure with a compelling heroine.

Re-Gifters by Mike Carey et al, and Kimmie66 by Aaron Alexovitch
I think that is all the Minx books? [livejournal.com profile] manintheboat is right that Kimmie66 was the best one, it had a hookiness and a depth that the others lacked and reminded me a bit of Neal Stephenson. Re-Gifters was fun but fairly by-the-numbers.

Bad Kitty, by Michelle Jaffe
This was hilarious and charming and very very (very very) fluffy in a self-aware way. Kind of like The Spellman Files meets Gossip Girl.
