books read in 2016
These are all the fun books (i.e. not for school or exams) that I have read this year. As much as I love YA, I think my goal for next year is to go a little heavier on the literary fiction and lighter on the YA horror. My favorites include the Ferrante series, How to Hang a Witch and of course, the Betsy Tacy Series, one of my very favorites.
