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.

ReplyDeleteNice! I’m drooling over Matched and The Body at the Tower. Not sure what the book with the Dragon is about but the cover is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm jealous of your copies of Matched and Delirium and Simone Elkeles' books. Also, Halo looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Dangerous Neighbors there, even if it doesn't seem like your normal read. Beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest with you--I'm a little jealous. What is the full title of the Dragon book?
ReplyDelete*gasp* just imagine me like one of those cartoon characters with his eyes all bugging out.
ReplyDeleteBe honest. Did you roll around on them in your bed? I would have. lol
ReplyDeleteDreadnought! Packing for Mars! I want those!
ReplyDeleteDude, if I knew that THE KNEEBONE BOY was lurking around there somewhere, I would have been all over trying to find it. I so love that cover (and can't wait to read it.) Very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts on several of those beauties!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sight! Another copy of Perfect Chemistry huh? Sweet.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, Angie! You must have been so excited AND relieved when your BEA loot made it home to you safe and sound. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
