Top 16 Books of 2016

I think I usually keep this list down to a smaller number, but this year, I just couldn't be bothered. My reading year was, overall, really good. I didn't rate anything under a 2-star level this year! That's crazy! There were a lot of books that I disliked last year (you can find that post here), but this year, I find myself being more meh and less "get this out of my sight." Under the cut, find some stats and, obviously, my 16 favorite reads of the year (including some cheats because I have read some really good series this year, guys).

Albums | Year in Review | 2016

I listened to a lot of good music this year. Here are my top ten favorite albums of the year, followed by a playlist of my favorite songs from these albums (except Beyoncé - #SpotifyProblems), as well as some random tunes that I have been loving in 2016.

Note: I never said I was good at talking about music. I'm just good at listening to it.

2016 | Reading Goals


Goodreads Challenge
In 2015, I initially set my goal at 75 books. I eventually bumped that up to 110 books. I think this year I am going to set it at an even 100 and not change it even if I do end up surpassing that benchline again. I think 100 is a reasonable number, even if I do hope to be busier in 2016 than I was in 2015 (as in, I need to find a full-time job ASAP).
