A confession: I have spent 2016 reading middle grade and young adult novels almost exclusively.
Not just because I wanted to improve my writing craft and reading widely in your genre is THE best way to improve your writing skills, but because
THEY ARE SO DARN GOOD!
And I didn’t get to half of the books I’d hoped to read in 2016.
But I didn’t ONLY read kidlit, and the following books rocked my world in 2016:
Ah Paris, I will be back soon…
A gift from my daughter, now I understand what the fuss is all about. Haruki Murakami is a genius
My hero. Always. Her stories will inspire and educate you!
Why didn’t I ever read this before? Bah! But I’ve read it now. and will again…
Evil walks among us – always. A riveting tale of a mass murderer in a bygone era… Kept me up reading, and because I was scared to go to sleep….
The genius. He could write a book about plumbing and I’d read it…
The best graphic novel I’ve ever read
The more you know. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the history of this beautiful faith in simple terms
No one loves Old Hollywood scandal like I do. This one did not disappoint. The stuff that dreams are made of..
The revolution will not be televised, it will be within. Yup.
The last one is a cheat because I am only 3/4 of the way through but it is already one of my favourite books ever:
There you have it! And now I can’t wait to see what great reads 2017 will bring me!
Happy Reading!
