* = re-read
 
I finished Missing in Action in early January and read Death in Winter, Resistance, Q&A, Before Dishonour, and Sword of Damocles in the last quarter.

I know I'm missing something.....
 
Vanguard: Reap the Whirlwind
Titan: Sword of Damocles
TNG: Resistance
TNG: Q & A
TNG: Before Dishonor
Enterprise: Good That Men Do
New Frontiers #1 - 6
 
Well my son was born in January, so I'm pretty certain I didn't read any Trek in 2007! I did however managed something I haven't done in a long time. I bought some :)

I bought the first two Titan novels with a gift voucher I was given.

I have high hopes of getting them (and a lot more) read in 08.
 
In Chronological order:

TLE - Deny thy Father
TLE - Catalyst of Sorrows
TOS - Crucible, Book 2 of 3: Spock - The Fire and The Rose
TNG - The Q Continuum: Q-Space: Book One of Three
TNG - The Q Continuum: Q-Zone: Book Two of Three
TNG - The Q Continuum: Q-Strike: Book Three of Three
ENT - Last full Measure
DS9 - Hollow Man
SCE - No Surrender (Print-Omnibus)
TOS - First Frontier
TOS - Sarek
TOS - Crucible, Book 3 of 3: Kirk - A Star to every wandering
TOS - The Covenant of the Crown
ENT - The Good that men do
TNG - Power Hungry
SCE - Foundations (Print-Omnibus)
TLE - The Buried Age
Van - Reap the Whirlwind (Best of 2007 imo)
SCE - Wildfire (Print-Omnibus)
SNW - Strange New Worlds X
SCE - Breakdowns (Print-Omnibus)
SCE - Aftermath (Print-Omnibus)
TNG - Death in Winter
TNG - Resistance
TNG - Q&A

That makes 25, if you count the SCE-omnibusses as one book. If you count each novella, the number rises to 43
Plus the roughly 30 Non-Trek-books, that makes an good average of 5 books a month.
Next planned Trek-verse-reading (Apart from the new stuff like Myriad-Universe or Terok Nor) is the rest of the TNG-anniversary (Print), then the Gorkon/Klingon-Empire-books and the Sherman&Shwartz-Vulcan-stuff,perhaps mixed with some SCE-novellas from the 2 remaining Print-Compilations (Grand Designs and Creative Couplings but I admit, I had an overdose of SCE in the last months while trying to catch up, at least Grand Designs isn't really entertaining so far)
 
I don't keep a reading log, so I couldn't tell you exactly what I read in 2007. Suffice it to say that I read every new Trek story from Pocket except Epiphany and Collision Course, and I read a whole slew of Trek books from previous years.
 
Oh wow, let's see... (no particular order)

Federation
Articles of the Federation
Mirror Universe: Glass Empires
Mirror Universe: Obsidian Alliances
Enterprise: The Good that Men Do
Maximum Warp: Dead Zone (book 1)
Maximum Warp: Forever Dark (book 2)
Vanguard: Reap the Whirlwind
TNG: Resistance
TNG: Q&A
TNG: Before Dishonor
DS9: Rebels The Conquered (book 1)
DS9: Rebels The Courageous (book 2) (first half -- still in progress now)
Titan: Taking Wing
Titan: The Red King
Titan: Orion's Hounds
Titan: Sword of Damocles (first few chapters - finished in 2008)
And if I remember correctly, I think I finished up DS9: Prophecy and Change at the beginning of the year left over from 2006.

I don't remember exaclty what I read when or in what order, but I know I read.
NF: After the Fall
NF: Missing in Action
MU: Glass Empires

ENT: The Good That Men Do
(Maybe: VAN: Harbinger, Summon The Thunder)
VAN: Reap the Whirlwind
LE(TNG): The Buried Age

TNG: Q&A
That was most of what I read over the year, along with a few other tie-ins (including the Star Wars: Dark Nest Trilogy, and KRAD's Buffy book, The Deathless) and the last Harry Potter. Since I got out of school I've read mostly ties-ins for entertainment, but this year I'm planning on moving out into more original fiction, like American Gods, which I'm reading along with Forged in Fire, and possibly the Discworld and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books.

I was surprised to see that I only read one Trek book that wasn't a new release-- David Gerrold's The World of Star Trek-- and nothing was a reread, minus some collections of previously published material (the CofE omnibi, Blood Will Tell). Star Trek used to take up a much larger percentage of my reading list; now, I'm content to keep up with the new releases. (At this point, I think I basically own every book I'm interested in owning, minus The Galactic Whirlpool.)
 
Damned if I know. I suppose I should keep a reading log. It would be interesting to see how many books I read in a year.
 
TNG: Immortal Coil and three Starfleet Academy books (Mystery of the Missing Crew, Secret of the Lizard People, and Deceptions.) I only became a Trek fan last February. :p

Also read an old TNG comic called "Here Today." It was released July of 1988. My dad was quite impressed when I showed it to him.
 
The Nanotech War
Worlds of DS9 - Ferenginar/Dominion
The Sundered
Serpent Among The Ruins
Art Of the Impossible
Well Of Souls
The Sky's The Limit
