"Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are." ~ Mason Cooley
I think the aspect of reading I love the most is the escapism it offers, especially during trying times.
As I haven't discovered a better way of expressing the following, I shall repeat what I said in previous years...
The books I select as my favorites each year are those that: I get lost in; the ones that while reading, I lose all track of time; the ones that evoke the strongest emotions; the ones that make me laugh, cry, blush, gasp, and sigh. Yeah, those books!
Each year I meticulously review my database and Goodreads shelves to select my favorites. Even though I arbitrarily decide upon the categories, I am careful in considering which books deserve each designation.
To all the authors whose stories entertained me this year, and especially those who wrote my favorites below, you've earned my highest esteem, gratitude, and adoration. Thank you!
Sadly, no matter how much I love a book, I am unable to recall details. In other words, although my devotion is clear, my memory is not. I would, indeed, like to attempt to explain my choices to anyone who may be interested.
(Note: I receive no monetary compensation. I only wish to show my appreciation!)
Here are my stats for 2016

Here are my stats for 2016
- my Goodreads Challenge total was 254 (first reading of single titles)
- my database total was 237 (book bundles are counted as a single title)
- my total books read was 269 (including 19 rereads )
My favorite genre remains romance, but I also enjoy select mysteries, thrillers, and popular fiction. With the immense digital collection available through the San Diego County Library system, I've been able to continue some long-time favorite series, such as Molly Murphy Mysteries, Harry Bosch, Kinsey Millhone, Alexandra Cooper, Kovac and Liska, and Penn Cage. This year I've also begun these well-established series: Jack Reacher, Walt Longmire, and Travis McGee. I look forward to discovering other great reads utilizing OverDrive in the coming year.
In 2016 I finished a total of 65 digital library books and didn't finish an additional 3. In total, 10 books were added to my did-not-finish shelf this year.
I'll be starting out 2017 with over 200 books (all priced under $2.00!) on my to-be-read shelves—primary and secondary—and nearly 100 books on my library wish list. I've chosen The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena as my first read of 2017 and set my Goodreads Challenge goal at 200 books.
Here's to 2017 being a successful reading year for all of us!

Book Bundles I Read in 2016
I buy book bundles when I can due to the bargain pricing. (All of my 2016 bundles were only $0.99, $1.99, or $2.99 each.) However, since my book database counts a multi-book bundle as a single book, the following is a list of the 20 individual books from within the book bundles. The remainder of my 2016 book database follows that.

Wow! Lots of good books found you this year! I also love the quote at the top!
Amy
Wow, you are truly a voracious reader! This is the most detailed end-of-year reading summary I have ever seen. Great job! Happy reading in the new year, Sistah!
Wow! And I'm excited to be on my 13th book of the year, surpassing my challenge goal by one...Even though romance is decidedly not my first genre of choice, I always follow your reviews. From your list, (1) I've decided the True North Series warrants a look; (2) thanks for the introductions to the Alexander Cooper Mysteries and the Bourbon Kings -- almost certain I will enjoy those; (3) I've seen the Jack Reacher movies, so not sure I could backtrack to the books; (4) Greg Isles has been on my to-read list for forever so appreciate the reminder; and (5) I'm definitely intrigued with Son of the Morning!
Impressive book list. I read several of the same books as you had. Keep up the the reading it keeps the brain healthy.
Good golly you read a lot of books! I count myself doing well if I finish 2 to 3 a month. I've tried to read books other than romance but never get far. Must have those happy endings, you know? Anyways, I'm curious about some of the books you liked enough to call favorites. I haven't heard of a few of the authors and am curious now. Janie
They certainly did! Thanks, Amy!
Thanks for your help, and happy reading to you too, Sistah!
Yay for surpassing your goal, Stephanie! Whatever books you read, may they be rewarding!
Since we met because of books, Mary Jo, I think they can be good for friendships, too. Enjoy your year reading!
