Eighteen books this time round, only one of them a reread (marked by an asterisk).

IMHECT: "[T]he phrase 'time travel' is so sci-fi.  We don't do that.  Here at St. Mary's we investigate major historical events in contemporary time."

The best book of the year, I think, was Strange Practice, the first in a series about a London doctor who provides medical services for vampires, ghouls, mummies, and other undead. Honourable mention goes to the two St Mary's books by Jodi Taylor and to A Long Time Until Now, about a group of American soldiers in Afghanistan who suddenly find themselves shifted back in time to the Palaeolithic.
