Books read, including shorts: 343, of which 29 were rereads. Below average for me, probably because of the last few months of 2016.
Books DNF’d: 32. Technically more, but I don’t usually make a record unless I’ve read further than the beginning.
Best book overall read in 2016: A Seditious Affair by K.J. Charles.
Best book (non-romance) and best depiction of an autistic person read in 2016: On the Edge of Gone by Corinne Duyvis.

Most entertainingly written romance: The Hating Game by Sally Thorne.
Best Golden Oldie (not a reread): The Lily Brand by Sandra Schwab.
Making notes here.
I’m so happy you enjoyed A Seditious Affair. It’s one of my best readings of these last years, too. So powerful, sometimes heart-drenching, it can turn your your world upside down. I think everybody should give it a try.
Yes, it’s one of those genre-transcending books. So much depth and power.
I have never read K.J. Charles though I keep meaning to do it. Maybe I’ll start with this one this spring.
The ones I mentioned are 2nd and 3rd in the series, and not the best place to start. The first book isn’t quite as good, though still good, if you want to start there. Or _Think of England_ is a wonderful standalone.
I’ll do Think of England then. Thanks!
KJ Charles also surprised me a lot this year, I liked (and loved some) all the books I’ve read by the author!
Good luck for 2017!
Thanks, you too.
