2016 was a banner year of reading in my world! I read many debut novels, discovered writers that were new to me, and revisited writers from my past that I knew I loved. I wound up reading and reviewing 84 books total! People started asking me for my favorites of the year or which ones stood out. And there were so many good ones last year that it’s hard to choose! But alas, I went through the list and selected 20 stand outs. Here they are!
