Top 16 of 2016

TOP 16 OF 2016

I always do a Top pick of the books I have read throughout the year to match the year. The further we get into the century though I may have to change that. Maybe I'll change it up once it is 2021. That way I can get to the Top 20 of 2020! So here you go, my Top 16 picks of 2016:

16.

The last book in this series. I was sad to see it end, but the wrap-up was great!

15.

I thought this was a return to the "old Dee Henderson" way of writing. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

14.

I really liked the beginning of this new series. 

13.

Irene Hannon always writes great novels and I definitely enjoyed this Men of Valor series.

12.

I loved this series! It took me long enough to get to it, but once I started reading I read the whole series!

11.

I love anything written by Karen Witemeyer

10.

I love this series and this was a great finale!

9.

Susan Sleeman is definitely one of my favorite authors. And really how can I not love her since she quotes me on the cover of this book! 

8.

I got to meet Keli Gwyn on my vacation out in CA this year. She is a delight! I love her books!

7.

The sequel to Haunting Joy was wonderful! If Lena writes it, I'm going to read it!

6.

This one hit close to home as it is about a group of senior citizens. I'm getting closer to that age! I loved this story and it introduces us to the town of Finley which is featured in the Forever Finley series(see # 3)

5.

I love the First Responders series and the Love Inspired Suspense line is one of my favorites. And of course Susan Sleeman!

4.

I loved this story! It was heart-wrenching, it made me cry and it made me laugh. An excellent YA novel

3.

This came out in monthly installments and I absolutely loved the town of Finley and all of the things about the Amos and Finley legend. Each monthly installment had it's own cover, and this is the whole compilation all in one book.

2.

Julie Lessman y'all! She absolutely has to be on my list every year and she didn't disappoint with this novel!

1.

The first in the River of Time California du-ology. I loved it!

The final book in The River of Time series? Maybe? Love, love loved it!

Yes, I have 2 number 1 picks! I loved them both equally and so I couldn't choose which one I wanted as number 1. I highly recommend all of the authors on my list. I loved every one of the books that I read on my 2016 list. This is why it is hard for me to narrow my choice down to Top 10. I didn't make my 2016 reading goal on Goodreads this year, but I sure enjoyed all of the books that I read. Looking forward to see what the world of reading brings me this coming year of 2017.
