YA fantasy continues to be a favorite genre for both of us. Books in this genre we both read and loved last year were:
A Torch Against the Night (the second book of Sabaa Tahir's Ember in the Ashes series)
A Court of Mist and Fury (the second book of Sarah J. Mass's A Court of Thorns and Roses series)
Ruined by Amy Tintera (first book of series)
The Beauty of Darkness (third book of Mary E. Pearson's Remnant Chronicles series)
We also read some historical fiction and had a couple we both loved:
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Mystery/Thrillers we both loved:
The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner
Contemporary Adult Fiction:
Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult
What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross
The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin
Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson
Finally a couple children's books we both loved:
Some Kind of Courage by Dan Gemeinhart
PAX by Sara Penny Packer
We also each made a top 12 Favorites list for 2016 so some of these will not be on those lists because we had to narrow down our favorites to just 12--a very hard thing to do! I read 83 books last year and Gerard read 132. You can see both our favorites of 2016 here:
