Hello Everyone,
It is the time to say goodbye to a new and welcome a new year! Hello to all the new 2017 books! It's time for me to rewind, look back, review all the books I've read this year, and to decide what my favourite books of 2016 are. I read a lot of books this year. I am certain I have read over 100 - physical and electronic format. Here are my top books that were the rare, one of a kind, emotional, deep and memorizing, inspiring books whether they were in a stand-alone or series. I will not have a summary of what the book is about but favorable quotes. I am choosing the books that really stuck out; were different, strange, magical, twisted, heart-warming, and where difficult to put down! I think over all I was really content with the books published this year and cannot wait to see what is in for the new year. Comment down below what your top favourite books were.
Cheers, Happy New Year !
