I found this really difficult to narrow it down to ‘just’ 20, as I’ve had a great reading year and found some amazing new books that I’ve recommended to many people! But, narrow it down I did – so here are my top 20 of 2016 (though a few are actually out in early 2017, but I read them this year and I want to include them sooo….)

It’s so difficult isn’t it! Some great books here that I loved. It just missed out on my top 20 and I’m still feeling guilty about it now!!
Have a great Christmas and look forward to more fabulous books in 2017 ????
It really is a challenge! Reminded me of some of the great books I’d almost forgotten about though ???? have a lovely Christmas too, hope you read some great books in 2017!
I’ve saved some of this, great list 😀
Ahh glad to hear it! Will look forward to seeing what you think of some of them if/ when you read them ????????????
I’m so happy to hear that you’ve had such a great reading year! I hope 2017 treats you even better.
My favorites this year include the Martian, Red Rising Series, and November 9. Not bad considering I don’t particularly enjoy SciFi.
Thanks – they sound like some great titles to add to my TBR list. I’m also not a huge sci-fi reader but written well they can be really enjoyable ???????? hope you have a great reading year in 2017! ????
Thank you! <3
I loved “The Girls”! Merry Christmas to you!
Me too, it’s a great read! Have a lovely Christmas!
This is an awesome list!
Thank you! I had a great reading year in 2016, hoping 2017 will also be a good one but already it’s a lot busier. Need more time to read! ????
