My Top Literary Picks of 2016
Obviously, I wasn't able to read every book published last year, but I did read a large [two-digit] number of them. Below are listed my top 6 releases of 201 6 . Enjoy, and happy reading! 1. Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy by Cassandra Clare (5 stars) 2. My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows (5 stars) 3. Stars Above by Marissa Meyer (5 stars) 4. Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys (4 stars) 5. Vassa in the Night by Sarah Porter (4 stars) 6. Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo (4 stars) My rating criteria includes, among other things, plot, characters, maturity of writing style...and, of course, how much I never wanted to put the book down. *find me on Goodreads @ goodreads.com/hattiejean*
