As is my tradition I’m breaking in the New Year with a little look back at my favourite books from 2016. Another good reading year with plenty to choose from and I admit that I struggled narrowing this down to 10, in fact I singled out at least 25 in my initial search. I really did read some most excellent books this year in fact I was lucky enough to get through 120 books. My list for the year is here. Without further ado my favourites for 2016 with links to the reviews.
- The Wheel of Osheim by Mark Lawrence
- City of Blades by Robert J Bennett
- The Immortals by Jordanna Max Brodsky
- The Silver Tide by Jen William
- Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
- Company Town by Madeline Ashby
- Fix by Ferrett Steinmetz
- The Family Plot by Cherie Priest
- Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
- The Wolf Road by Beth Lewis
I feel like I should also make honorary mentions for Monstrous Little Voices by Jonathan Barnes, Emma Newman, Kate Heartfield, Fox Meadows, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Scourge of the Betrayer by Jeff Salyards, 13 Minutes by Sarah Pinborough, The Hike by Drew Magary, Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel and The Facefaker’s Game by Chandler J Birch
