* A group of ice fishermen who lose their cabin, gear and pride to a single pike.
* A teenager who sabotages a fish farm and frees 300,000 salmon.
* A charter boat operator who gets speared thro...

1.The Cost of Betrayal (The Half-Orcs, Book 2) - David Dalglish (7,875 Locations)
Better than the first in the series, and the best book I have read all year. I have no qualms saying this is now one of my favorite books of all-time. Stunning, powerful, heartbreaking, terrifying. Everything a good novel should be, and then some. - A+
2.Sh*t My Dad Says - Justin Halpern (1,903 Locations)
Just as funny as the Twitter feed, with some great stories to flesh it out. Can't wait for the TV show, even if it will be neutered a bit because of language. - B+
3.Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 3: Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness - Bryan Lee O'Malley (192 Pages)
Not as good as the second volume. Didn't care much for Envy or the boyfriend fight, and holy hell, this jumped around a TON. - B
4.Killing Floor (Jack Reacher, No. 1) - Lee Child (5,112 Locations)
Intense, gritty start to a long series. Read for a book club, but will stick with it. I liked it quite a bit, more than the Elvis Cole and Philip Marlowe series that I recently read volumes of. - B+
5.It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life - Lance Armstrong (3,395 Locations)
Probably my sixth or seventh time reading it. My favorite non-fiction work of all-time, from my second favorite athlete of all-time, only behind John Elway, my personal savior. - A+
6.Scott Pilgrim, Vol 4: Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together - Bryan Lee O'Malley (216 Pages)
Best book of the series, thus far. Really laugh out loud funny and advances a lot of storylines. Super excited for the last two volumes. - A+
7.Billy Boyle - James R. Benn (3,714 Locations)
Good, entertaining little mystery. Really connected with me about 15% through and I couldn't put it down. Part of a larger series, but works well alone. - B+
8.Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 5: Scott Pilgrim vs The Universe - Bryan Lee O'Malley (184 Pages)
As far as penultimate volumes go, this one delivered. Lots of things happened, and the story pushed forward to the conclusion in the last book. Paled a bit next to the awesome fourth volume, but excellent on it's own. - B+
9.Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 6: Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour - Bryan Lee O'Malley (248 Pages)
Just as good as volume 4, in some ways better because we get the ultimate closure to the storylines we have read for 5 issues. Just a fantastic book and a fantastic series. Cannot wait to see the movie now. - A+
10.The Last Coyote - Michael Connelly (528 Pages)
Really liked this one. My second favorite out of the first four Bosch novels. Humanized Bosch in a  way the first three novels just never could, because of the subject matter. - A
11.Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll (1,125 Locations)
Hated the Alice character so that really ruined the book for me. Just could not get past her and enjoy anything else. - C-
12.The Time Machine - H.G. Wells (1,340 Locations)
First time reading this classic. The writing style didn't really do much for me, but the story told was fairly cool. Still, not a favorite or something I would revisit. - C+
