My Favorite Books of 2016

 

I have to say, I’m not too upset about bidding 2016 adieu. It was one of those years I gladly pushed out the door. Although, even with the lows of the year, there were still some pretty neat thing about 2016. Like getting out an exploring my area—I didn’t check out as many places as I would have liked, but it was a start—and wearing a corset—seriously I applaud the women through history who wore these things and survived! 

 

 

2016 was a weird reading year. I had a lot of DNF’s this year and some were from authors whose work I normally love. I also expanded my genres adding in some thrillers, contemporary literature, and getting back into non-fiction, gothic romance, and cozy mysteries.  Out of all the books I read and reviewed, only one earned a 5-Cup rating.
