#topreadsof2016 - the best novels I read in 2016. Especially The Perks of Being a Wallflower hit me hard, and I still think about the book a lot ❤

Soubhiville How exciting! Ship of Magic and The Fisherman are in my TBR stack for Litsy A to Z challenge, so they're up soon! I also loved Neverwhere, my favorite Gaiman. 😊❤📚 8y
TrishB Perks is a well talked about book in our house 😀 My teenage daughter and I read it together on holiday this year and both cried and loved it! 8y
Reviewsbylola Crimson Petal blew me away! One of my favorites. 8y

Kalalalatja @Soubhiville they are both wonderful! The Fishermen was one of the most well written books I read last year 👍 8y
Kalalalatja @TrishB that is lovely! I wish I had read it as a teenager as well. It is amazing how hard a short book like that can hit you. 👌 8y
Kalalalatja @Reviewsbylola it was sooo good. I couldn't put it down! 8y
LazyOwl I became acquainted with Robin Hobb last year, great books. I also read Neverwhere & loved it. 8y

Here are my 2016 favorites for various reasons. The year of magical thinking helped me cope with the death of my father, as did reading his beloved Jeeves' books. Children's literature also provided comfort. My name is Lucy Barton and murder on orient express we're just plain good. Oh and nothing to envy was a fascinating glimpse into n Korea. These were all my 5 ⭐️ 📚 on gr. #bestbooks2016 #seasonsreadings2016

These 94 pages are a reminder that length does not equal impact. In this small space, Dorothy Allison conveys the importance of storytelling: how it can heal or break us, how we need to tell our own stories in our own voices, how we can overcome. This memoir gives glimpses of her life and family in rural South Carolina along with black and white photos of her family. This was one of my #bestbooks2016 and should be #requiredreading #LGBTQ

Foxyfictionista This is like asking me to choose my favourite internal organ. 😂 8y
Suet624 I agree that Homegoing was spectacular and was one of my favorites. However, I feel so fortunate to have been able to read so many good books this year!!! There are so many that have wormed their way right into this heart of mine. 8y
Varshitha Homegoing was an amazing read but I can't choose a favourite, I have read so many good books this year, all thanks to Litsy.. 8y
