These are in no particular order and not all of them came out in 2016; I just read them in 2016. The links will take you to the blog posts in which I wrote about the books.
- The Piper's Son by Melina Marchetta
- Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah
- The Light of the Fireflies by Paul Pen
- Please Don't Come Back From the Moon by Dean Bakopolous
- Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
- Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
I can't wait to read some of your favorites from the year so I can add to my ever-growing pile of books to read!
Dumplin' made my list too!
ReplyDeleteI think Marchetta has another book out.
I don't think I loved Eleanor and Park, but I read it about 3 years ago and I still remember it well and it stuck with me. So it certainly served its purpose in that way.
ReplyDeleteProbably the mark of a good book :)
Dumplin' and E&P were such great books!
ReplyDeleteoh i loved The Piper's Son - so good! Winter Garden is on my list. I loved E&P and Dumplin too. So good!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered Rainbow Rowell and Kristin Hannah this year, and now I'm wondering why it took me so long to read a book by them! I've heard so many great things about Dumplin' and I hope that I get to read it soon!
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many amazing things about Dumplin'! I need to read it ASAP.
ReplyDeleteDumplin, E&P, Please Don't Come Back from the Moon...I want to hug your list.
ReplyDeleteMarchetta's new book is incredible. I highly, highly recommend it. Not sure what it didn't make my best of list. Had to cut somewhere, I guess.
I really enjoyed E&P and look forward to reading more of Rainbow Rowell in 2017. Dumplin and The Light of the Fireflies are also on my TBR. So many good books, too little time!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed E&P and really loved Winter Garden and mentioned it on my list too :) I read Dumplin' and The Piper's Son this year too and quite liked them!!!
ReplyDeleteI really love Rainbow Rowell, but I still need to read Eleanor & Park. Glad to see it was top read for you this year!

Eleanor & Park is my favorite Rainbow Rowell book! I loved Winter Garden and thought Dumplin' was okay.
