Best Books of 2016

January 12, 2017

I know this list is a bit late. I blame pneumonia, mostly. In fact, when I finally felt up to writing this post, I worried that it was too late--that nobody would care what the best books of 2016 were because we are already more than a full week into 2017. But then I realized that book lovers don't care about that kind of thing--we're way too busy reading to worry about a list that comes a week too late. So to my fellow book lovers, here are the books from 2016 I would like to recommend to you-
