Very hard to choose! Think that‘s it. Read 237 this year, may finish current one today but probably not due to socialising!
Doing just one challenge next year #booked2019 and looking forward to chatting books and more books with everyone.
Thanks to Cindy for this months hosting and every month she pulls it off 😘

Hi everyone! So, among @Litsy 's challenges, swaps, contests, etc, I'm going to do something of my own. I'd like to thank @SubwayBookReview for inspiration! End of the year, we're all talking about our favorite books read in 2016. So, I'll be asking bibliophiles that I know what their favorite 2016 read is & post their brief thoughts! If you'd like to do the same, use the #BestBookRead hashtag 😁! 1st one will be tonight 😊👍🏻.

bookandcat Best book read in 2016 or best book read that was published in 2016? 8y
bookandcat (I know my answers for both, haha) 8y
MrBook @bookandcat 😂👏🏻🙌🏻 You are awesome! Best book read in 2016. 8y

This collection of essays about reading isn't super easy to find, but it's worth looking for. Short, engaging, personal pieces by Jeanette Winterson, Penelope Fitzgerald, Sophie Hannah, Jane Gardam, Alain de Boton, Philip Hensher, William Trevor ... On and on ... 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Zelma That sounds right up my alley. My Achilles heel is books about books. 8y
shawnmooney The essay anthology sounds great but you've blurbed it under Susan Hill's memoir, not the anthology: I checked the Litsy database and they do have the anthology listed. Anyway, glad to find out about the essays, which I've now added to my list alongside the memoir! 💓❣💙 8y
SusanInTiburon @shawnmooney I searched again, found it, and fixed it. Thanks, friend! 8y

shawnmooney @SusanInTiburon It's the least I could do for my dictionary-diva-bestie! 8y

MrBook Oh my! Thank you for the share! 😁👍🏻 8y
