Alright, so having just finished my 7th book, I have a good idea of who I'm voting for (based on what i've previously read).
In the winner's circle is Gravity Journal, Dooley Takes The Fall, and Gotcha!.
Gravity Journal dealt with real issues in a manner that was fully believable, with no super happy ending, but satisfies while leaving enough vagueness to hope for a sequel.
Dooley Takes The Fall is a McClintock, and I've favoured her mysteries for years. This book is a nice escape from the Chloe and Levesque series McClintock had been writing for sometime, and surprised me not with just it's depth, but the twists and turns that tie tightly together (alliteration noted and intended) by the end.
Gotcha! I've already discussed, so I won't go into detail, but it's from an interesting perspective.
My bottom of the barrel consists of Daughter of War, which seemed like a huge plea for a forgotten horror in mankind's history. It would have been good, if it hadn't kept repeating how devastating the scenes around them were. I got it the first ten times, no need to feed me with twenty different examples of how well you can describe the chaos around you.
Another bottom barrel bookclub member is Tweaked, which I already described my frustration with the main character, and how he handled his situations. As I already said, the storyline just seemed too easy to get riled up about.
Over and out.

P.S. I hear Chanda's War is amazing, looking forward to Little Brother, and unsure as to what to anticipate from After River
