Top Reads of 2016 - Fiction

Thursday, January 5, 2017


I decided to do things a little different this year...I have broken down my top reads of 2016 in a way that is probably just as confusing as can be. I beg of you to just roll with it! This year has been fantabulous when it comes to books and narrowing it down made my brain hurt! I can not believe the incredible books that I have read, the authors that I have discovered, the friends that I have made through blogging/reviewing.

Today I am listing my favorite FICTION books that I read in the year 2016. Listed alphabetically by genre, author, and then by publication date - because I am weird like that.

Even though there are many books that hold a special place in my heart, there are two books that have impacted more than any of the others this year. These books have made me cry multiple times, not just while reading, but months afterwards. These books are the ones that have moved my soul in such a way that I can't get their message out of my head, the characters out of my heart. They have impacted my life in ways that I can't even begin to describe. 

I fell so in love with these books that I created a new star rating in their honour. Pepper Basham and Jody Hedlund have completely blown me away this year. They have raised the bar considerably high and I can not wait to see what they bring us next.
