I haven't read One Year Gone yet. I don't usually read the tie-in novels - nor do I include the information from them in my timeline (though, I HAVE read John Winchester's Journal and Bobby's Guide to Hunting). I don't include the information though, because I find that the novelists tend to not have done their homework - or the writers of the show don't read the tie-in novels, and the show and the novels contradict each other. So, yeah... I tend to only focus on the show when I timeline. The novels are good fun, but I treat them like legal fanfiction.
