Oh crap. I always panic when someone asks this question. It forces me to reveal a guilty secret. I'm a writer that spends precious little time reading. It's not that I don't want to. It's just, you know... adulting gets in the way. But even though there isn't a lot of time for reading in my busy life, I do read, and enjoy it all the more because it's something I don't get to over-indulge in.
At the moment, I'm about halfway through Vernor Vinge's "Zones of Thought" series. It's really far-flung scifi that spans galaxies and millennia and has a whole bunch of wonderfully imagined worlds and alien races. Super fun stuff!
On my TBR list are a few books from some local Minnesotan authors. I recently started an event called the Books and Beer Pop-up Bookstore (www.facebook.com/mnbooksandbeer). The first event was on May 11th at a cool brewery in St. Paul, MN called Lake Monster. There were 23 other authors there, so I had to be really selective in the books I decided to buy. I chose to pick up "Justice" and "Peace," the first two books in a scifi/western series by Anthony Eichenlaub, and "The Buccaneer of Nemaris," an epic fantasy tome by JD Delzer that weighs more than I do. At the pace I read at, I expect they'll keep me busy through 2018!
Just kidding. My mid-year's resolution is to watch less Netflix and read more. I do mid-year resolutions because no one's paying attention and thus less likely to notice if I don't exactly follow-through on my resolutions...

Wisconsin Vamp location 2165 (page 160, chapter 24): "... leather bustieres and sparkly patches of sequence ..." Should be bustiers (no e) and sequins. Had you found that already? Awesome fucking book. Quite enjoyed myself except for those irritating moments where people wanted me to do shit that wasn't reading your book.
