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)

How awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I love how they organized it by color too!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the books are coated with anything - the practical side of me can't help but think it might be a pain to dust, but it does look stunning!
What a cool desk, but I'm guessing it's perhaps not much drawers in it LOL
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, i want this in my house. i want one!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI've seen that around elsewhere. Very cool. (Brought here by both Suey and Persnickety Snark; I'll probably stay, too. Nice blog! :-D)
ReplyDeleteI saw this earlier today! It's so awesome. Though I have a slight ADD destructive streak and I think I would want to play Jenga with it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my! The beauty. Me want.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I want one for myself. LOL.
ReplyDeleteso awesome!
ReplyDeletei wish i had a link to share, but a friend of mine, on their travels, found a library with large metal letters on its front that said:
LIBRARY!
which made me want to go it immediately. :)
so totally cool.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! It makes me want to do that with all of my books we're weeding at work! What a great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That's fantastic!
