- Ben Hatke: Zita the Spacegirl (and its sequels)
- Jennifer Michael Hecht: Doubt: A History
- Peter Higgins: Wolfhound Century (and its sequels)
- Susan Jacoby: Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism
- Richard Landes: Heaven on Earth: The Varieties of the Millenial Experience
- Ann Leckie: Ancillary Justice
- Philip Mansel: Levant: Splendour and Catastrophe on the Mediterranean

There aren't any programming books in the list: I read several, but they all felt tired. On the other hand, Spot It and Forbidden Island were a lot of fun, and I'd recommend both.
