Just under the wire! I’m giving myself until Jan. 23, when the YMAs are announced, to complete my specific TBR 2016 books, but at least I met my quantity goal for the year :)
For those who are curious, my faves for the year are Frances Hardinge’s The Lie Tree, Anna-Marie McLemore’s When the Moon Was Ours, and Jason Reynolds’ Ghost.
2016 TBR list
UPDATED FOR PROGRESS 1/8/2016
To keep myself accountable, I’ve put together my must-read for the last five months of 2016. I’ll definitely read or browse more than just these (SO MANY “best of” lists to compile at work!), but this list represents what I hope is healthy balance of personal interest and award contenders. And posting it publicly means that I will not get too derailed by fanfic follow through, right?
