12 Favorite Books Of 2016

Oh, this is just so, so, so well done. It's relatively short as well. This is a really quick read and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This book ended up on my favorite books list purely because of the way that the brother character is written.

I was completely enraptured by it. I couldn't put it down. It's heartbreaking and beautiful and just masterfully written.

This is just such a remarkable book about family and choices and honor, obviously. And there's just so much depth in here.

This book is absolutely fantastic. There are parts of this that are absolutely heartbreaking but the best thing about this is that Bryan Stevenson finds a way to also provide hope.

This is a book I read completely one sitting. It gripped me from the very beginning. It's so harrowing and terrifying and at the same time just provides you with so much insight into why someone would go through all the dangers in order to get into the United States.

I ended up reading this book in two sitting because I was completely in love with it and also it's relatively short. But I love this story.

But I just completely loved it.

This book is difficult to read. Colson Whitehead is brutally honest about what it was like to be a slave.

It's so fantastic. Honestly, this is one of those books that I don't care what kind of books you read, I think you would like The Unseen World by Liz Moore.

This book is honestly great. The worst part about it is the fact that it's the first in a series and none of the other books are out yet.

This book is beautiful. It is heartbreaking.
