So. much. WIN.
Also, I'm in love with Spock.
That is all.
Let's just lay our cards on the table, shall we, and agree that, on the whole, 2016 was an abysmal year.
And I'd just like to personally invite it not to let the door hit it on the way out.
This is me being as charitable as I can possibly be at this point.
That said, I want to send a glorious shout out to the wonderful books that have come out this past year, and to all the authors (and readers) who have not given in to the anxiety, depression, anger, and fear that I know so many of us have felt throughout the past twelve months (or more). It is the last day of the year, and I have poured all of my gratitude (and hope for a better one to come) into my annual list of my favorite reads of the year. Just 17 this year. Fewer than the past few years, which indicates a healthy dose of necessary rereading in this year that has been what it was, as well as the fact that I just didn't get to as many new releases.
(in the order in which I read them)

Spock was my first (and probably longest-running) fictional character crush. So the new movie made me happy.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first time recently that I haven't felt let down by a remake.
deety, that makes me so happy. I have always loved Spock. And I completely agree. It was unbelievably refreshing (and so rare lately) to have my expectations exceeded. I wanna see it again!
ReplyDeleteyesss, loved it too. i must say scotty was my fave!
ReplyDeletebabysitter is being arranged. i must see.
ReplyDeletevvb32 reads, Scott was hilarious. He came in at just the right time.
ReplyDeleteLiza, it's SO good. I get all happy just remembering. :)
Yes I loved it, too, and loved Spock, too! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely go see it again!
ReplyDeleteWe were going to finally catch Wolverine last weekend, but that character isn't exactly my favorite of the X-Men so I suggested we just watch Star Trek again instead.
It was still just as good the second time around.
Amy, it's all about the Spock.
ReplyDeletedeety, good to hear! I haven't seen Wolverine but it just didn't look anywhere near as good as Star Trek.
