[matilly]

Ari and Dante for sure

[Kathy]

[Jill]

These are not necessarily books published in 2016 but they are my favorites read in 2016:
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
Pretty Baby
Don't You Cry
The Luckiest Girl Alive
The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night
What She Knew
Career of Evil

[Jas]

I can't pick just one.
But I'm going to have to say all of the Sarah J Maas books (so both ACOTAR and Throne of Glass series) . It was my first time reading them and I fell in love with each and every character and I'm also not mentally, physically and emotionally prepared for the finale of both series

[Madison]

Definitely "Red Queen" by Victoria Aveyard!

[Sofia 🧚🏻‍♀️]

Probably both Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom!! Also, the Rose Society by Marie Lu!! It took me completely by surprise considering that the young elites was just okay. I read it while learning about the renaissance in school so it was perfect!! Definitely biggest surprise of 2016!

[Fabienne]

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

[Vivian]

Angels and demons by Dan Brown
The Raven boys by Maggie Stiefvater

[Fiona]

And I Darken by Kiersten White

It was such a surprise as well, I read as an interim book to tide me over to Empire of Storms. Ironically I ended up hating Empire of Storms and loving And I Darken instead.

Hi Latanya, I loved it because it was raw, shocking, well written and interesting. The main character, Ani felt like someone I may have known. As disturbing as parts of the book were, I felt like young women could actually benefit by reading a book like this because it demonstrates in a very realistic way, what can happen when they try to fit in, try to please other people other than oneself. I really did enjoy this book and I read it because it was featured at my local library by one of the twenty-something library workers. I hope you read it and would love to know what you think. Why on the fence? :)

[Soma]

I can't choose a single book so I'll just go with a whole list haha
-The Cage by Megan Shepherd
-A Court of Mist and Fury
-Illuminae
-The Wrath & the Dawn
-An Ember in the Ashes

Hi, Jill! Thanks for responding. Reading reviews (not all, but some) worried me. But, I had to realize that some story topics do not appeal to everyone, which muddles the reviews. I'll read the book because I really do, but I didn't want to invest, if the story wasn't worth the time. Mind if I add you as a friend?

I understand. I too, heard mixed reviews but from the moment I started reading it, I found it hard to put down. It was one of those books that sort of stays with me. For example, I saw you read "Before I go to Sleep" which I really liked but for some reason couldn't recall the plot immediately. Luckiest Girl Alive? I remembered that one!

[Bethany]

Salt to the Sea - Ruta Sepetys
The Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater
The Art of Racing in the Rain - Garth Stein

I had quite a few five-star books for this year but I think these would be my favourites if I had to narrow it down. :)
