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.

You are so right! This is the first A&O cover with Charles in human form - didn't realise that before. I love the US covers so much for this series.
ReplyDeleteSo do I! I think this is my favorite one.
ReplyDeleteI love Charles and Anna! And we finally get to see Charles in human form!This is one of my favorite series; I actually love the two of them as much as Mercy and Adam and that's saying something.
ReplyDelete2015 is not nearly soon enough! This series is even better than the
ReplyDeleteMercy Thompson series. I ADORE Anna and Charles and I hope they go on to
have a 10+ book series. This is definitely my new favorite urban
fantasy series. The dynamics between Anna and Charles and then Anna and
the others she comes into contact with is just so cool!
My blog: new games
That really is saying something! And I understand completely. They had me from the first page.
