Bah, I've taken too many breaks this year, forgot about this thread. I don't think I can even remember everything I've read, so I'm adding my most recent books, or the ones I know I read.

House of Chains, Erikson (Malazan IV)
Midnight Tides, Erikson (M V)
The Bonehunters, Erikson (M VI)
Reaper's Gale, Erikson (M VII)

As you can see, I'm continuing with Malazan. The latest book is Toll the Hounds, which I have started but nowhere near finishing. There are also some novellas that are part of the series; I'd like to read them eventually but they haven't been released here yet. Very good, but very dark books.

Dragon Champion, E. E. Knight
Dragon Avenger, E. E. Knight

Picked these up on a whim, turned out to be quite good. Dragon Outcast is the third, I have it but haven't read it yet. There's also a fourth that isn't out. An interesting look at a dragon-hating world, from the perspective of dragons themselves. Following the lives of each of three dragons from hatchling to adulthood, it's a very good look at perspective and how experience influences worldview. For example, one dragon thinks nothing of eating a human or making them work for him, while another befriends both humans and elves and defends them from their enemies. Very cool.

The High King's Tomb by Kristin Britain, Green Rider 3

I really like this series, and am pleased that she got signed for extra books, originally it was going to be a trilogy. A very good story on good vs. evil, and mutually unrequited love. I am looking forward to the next book.

The Tower of Shadows by Drew Bowling

Eh, this was a fairly derivative debut, with bad writing to boot. It wasn't terrible enough for me to put it down, but I won't be picking up the next book in this series.

Fairyville by Emma Holly

I can't believe I'm putting this one down. Not for young eyes! Hah. Yes, it's erotica. Fantasy erotica, in fact. What, don't look at me like that. Read often, read widely is the writer's mantra. Or one of them, anyways. It wasn't bad but not really my thing. I prefer stories about relationships built on something other than physical passion/lust.

Victory of Eagles, Naomi Novik, Temeraire 5

Bought on release cause I really like the series. Empire of Ivory felt lacking, but things are picking up again with Eagles. I'm quite pleased that Temeraire is starting to act at least somewhat independently. I understand the whole bond thing, but Temeraire just relies way too much on Laurence.

Hmm...I can't seem to recall what else I've read. I really don't read as much as I should. My bookshelves are full, yet at least 1/3 sit unread. But then, I do tend to read more in the winter anyway.
