What were some of your favorite reads? Always looking for excellent titles for my 2016 to-read list.
You’re amazing! I probably have reviewed that many, but I just don’t get them all posted. I think my favorite MG was The War that Saved My Life. Want to read I’ll Give You the Sun! Great list.
I did not do so well at reviewing books on the blog this year. Wish I could go back to one review a week, but I don’t see that happening any time soon.
Great list. I haven’t read any of your favorites. It’s going on my to-read shelf!
Cool! Hope you enjoy them.
Any recommendations you would like to give?
Thanks for sharing, Darshana. Quite a few here I need to read!
Any recommendations for me? 🙂
Only PBs but on top is The Only Child, and Some Things I’ve Lost
What a wonderful list and a wonderful accomplishment—that’s a lot of books!
I’m sure you read just as many. I once heard to be well-read in a category/genre you had to read 250 books but for picture books it was like a 1000 or something. Working my way up there.
