In an effort to complete my list of Year-End Summaries (located in my sidebar), I have finally put together my Top Ten list for 2016. I suspect I was too busy (in January 2017) planning our move to Oregon and decided to skip this post. It was a great year of reading, so instead of narrowing the list down to only ten favorites, I've selected every book with a rating of 4.5/5 or higher.
Top Fourteen of 2016
