Apparently this one's the real deal. What do you think?
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)

That's a lot of *smoldering* going on there, on all parts.
ReplyDeleteIt is just begging me to put little talk bubbles in it, though . . .
It really is, isn't it? And it is positively calling out for talk bubbles, Maggie.
ReplyDeleteI would sooo love to see what Maggie would come up with for this one!
ReplyDeleteBlissfully, I remain in the minority: I so heart Jacob. Even if Taylor isn't the Jacob in my head. (Ah, did that sound weird?)
You made me do it, Angie. I'm blaming you. And you, Chelle.
ReplyDeleteChelle, there is no weird anymore when it comes to the Twilightverse. And Jacob is most wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, New Moon talk bubbles FTW!
Pretty good - even though I am not on Team Jacob I think Taylor will do a good job.
ReplyDeleteMarnieColette, I agree. I was happy they kept him.
ReplyDeleteI like Taylor as Jacob. I can reconcile him with my imaginary one. It is a good poster.
ReplyDeleteShallow, yet pretty. I likie. That is some serious fog going on. I'm excited to see Jacob in this one thought.
ReplyDeleteJennyGirl, I know. I could tell right away I liked him. So what if he's not tall? :)
ReplyDeleteLiza, me too. The 3 of them like that--it works.
I love it. And thank heavens for a little love for Team Jacob.
