2016 WRAP UP

So my hiatus will continue for just a couple more weeks, but I really wanted to get a wrap-up post up for 2016! I hope to also close out my challenges before I try to start any new ones for this year. Though I did not get close to my goal of 100 books, I still read some good ones I would like to recommend to you all!


Shearwater Part One by Derek Murphy
5/5
I haven't gone back to see if the rest has been released, but I don't remember if I did get on the mailing list or not. Will have to check because I do want to see how it ends!


Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
5/5
Had this on the TBR list and then it got picked for one of our book club selections. We all enjoyed it, and I was pleased to hear two members who didn't think they were gonna like it BOTH binge read it in a few days. 


Menagerie by Rachel Vincent
5/5
Net-galley book that sounded cool, and ended up being better than it sounded! 


Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey
5/5
review pending
This was such an enjoyable sci fi story! Short but fulfilling, with a protagonist you feel close to whilst you feel bad for him most of the time. 


Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
5/5
review pending
Really gripping YA/dystopian novel. Of course there's love interests (plural) for the FMC, but she stands well on her own. Also a fascinating world setup I can't wait to read more about in the next books :]


The Shining by Stephen King
5/5
review pending
I've had this on the TBR list for a while, was glad when our book club chose it for October. I really enjoyed it, and was fascinated by the notable difference in tone when compared to the film. Excited to rewatch the film which is on Netflix now, woo!

So those are my top books for the year. Have we read any that are the same? Which were your favorite the past year? Any you'd like to recommend?
