I've been doing more novel-reading (and less fic-reading) this year, too. It's been nice. I'd be curious what your list is if you don't mind posting it!
The Abyss Surrounds Us Series by Emily Skrutskie:
The Lost Plot by Genevieve Cogman (The Invisible Library Series #4)
Earthseed by Octavia E. Butler:
Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan:
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle (a reread right before the movie came out)
Star Wars: Kanan Omnibus (the first comics I’ve read in...ever?)
Star Wars: A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller
The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin:
The Fifth Season (reread)
The Obelisk Gate (reread)
The Stone Sky (it had been over a year since I’d read the first two, so I figured it would be best for the sake of context to reread them)
The Han Solo Trilogy by A.C. Crispin:
44 Scotland Street by Alexander McCall Smith
Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce
The Expanse by James S.A. Corey:
Amethyst by Lauren Royal (The Jewel Trilogy #1)

Of the books you've read this year, which have left the biggest impression on you/were the most interesting?
Earthseed (Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents) left the biggest impression on me. I was in a completely unnerved fugue in the aftermath of reading those books. They were good, good books, with interesting, complex characters and serious issues.
The Broken Earth Trilogy left a pretty big impression, too. I loved the setting, the magic system, the worldbuilding in general; it felt fresh and unique in a way that a lot of fantasy doesn’t. But best of all were the characters, their scars and motivations, and the peculiar ways they ended up connected to one another.
I had a lot of issues with Wheel of Time, but the best part about reading that series was the little dramatic recaps I gave my partner every night when I was done reading. He read them a couple of years ago, so it was really fun to discuss events as they happened with him and to throw all my wacky theories at him.
