These are not necessarily published this year, but the ones I read and enjoyed, in no particular order:

1. Makers by Cory Doctorow
2. Red Dust Road by Jackie Kay
3. The Shaking Woman: A history of my nerves by Siri Hustvedt
4. Killing Time: One man's race to stop an execution by David Day
5. The City and the City by China Mieville
6. The Making of Mr Gray's Anatomy: Bodies, Books, Fortune, Fame by Ruth Richardson
7. Ten Hail Marys by Kate Howarth
8. The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

10. Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals by Christopher Payne
11. Brief Lives: Gustave Flaubert by Andrew Brown
12. Baba Yaga Laid An Egg by Dubravka Ugresic
13. Otherland by Maria Tumarkin
14. How We Die by Sherwin B Nuland

and one I'm still reading

15. 13 Ways of Looking at the Novel by Jane Smiley

and three I really liked

16. The Possessed: Aventures with Russian books and the people who read them by Elif Batuman
17. A Walker in the City by Alfred Kazin
18. Mr Rosenblum's List by Natasha Solomons

If I had to choose, I'd go for The City and the City as my favourite fiction for the year, and 13 Ways of Looking at the Novel tied with The Making of Mr Gray's Anatomy for non-fiction.
