  1. Oh such good books! My list is coming out on Wednesday, after spending a good few hours putting it together (sigh!). I think I should just start working on the 2016 recap post now to save myself some time next year!

    1. Melinda - Haha! I know what you mean. I've learned to create a post at the beginning of each year and each month (or whenever I remember), I add to my running list of books read during the year, along with the links to my review. That way, the overall list of books read is nearly done come December. It's made things so much easier for me.

  4. Looks like you had an awesome reading year. Lots of your books are on my to-read list, so I'll have to check your reviews. Anne Bishop is one my must-finally-try-in-2016 list! Also, I'm intrigued about this Sandra Boynton chocolate book...
