30 Books You Should Read in 2016
I’m happy to report that my bookshelf is looking a little more spacious these days as I plow through my books. I’ve replaced them with some new books to read in 2016. I normally don’t keep books after I read them unless it’s one I’m obsessed with like The Bronze Horseman trilogy. I could never bring myself to part with them!
30 Books You Should Read in 2016
I’ve teamed up with my friend, Dear Crissy, to feature our annual book recommendations. We’ve each selected 15 books to compile a list of 30 books you should read in 2016. If you’re curious, my book picks are the odd numbers and Crissy’s are the even numbers.
Take a peek at the books on our list and see which ones you would like to read in 2016.

by Joelle CharbonneauThe question I have now is where to start! So many great books, so little time. It’s nice to get recommendations so I don’t waste my time.
Check out my previous reading lists for 2014 and 2015!
Which books from our list are you most interested in reading this year?
I would choose The Courage Tree by Daine Chamberlain and The edge of Lost by Kristin Mc morris
I’m curious about the tidying up book but terrified of her wholesale approach. I’m getting great results going room by room with my own less drastic system. For the same reason, I don’t read Real Simple magazine. Bound to feel incompetent:). Great list–thank you!
Some really good books, that I am looking forward to 🙂 Also. my daughters, growing up had a “must read set of books” that had to read each year (no more than 4). I , myself loved reading, so when they were in Grade 7 , I gave them a list of the “Classics and other books written by/for teenagers”. My oldest (Now 38) still follows the list , and has given me a list of books, that she thought I might like .. the first being “50 Shades of Grey.” I guess reading is Sharing! 🙂
Loved Girl on a Train. Want to read The Lake House.
I recommend Big Little Lies, At the waters edge, Who do you love, Girl on the train, The Island & of course a must read is After You , especially after Moyes prelude to that- an all time favourite. New one just finished The Drowning Girls- so great! Above authors are my best go to books.
The Bronze Horseman Trilogy is one of my all time
Favorites, too.
Thanks for this list!!
Nice – I recently asked my friends on FB for their favourite books. Then I put the list in alpha order and will work my way through it. !
From the lists above, we had two same books : Go set a watchmen and also Carry On. By the way, I not yet visited your review about Finder Keepers, book from Stephen King, is it the same story like movie with same title? A horror movie.
Yes great list! Girl on the train was awesome!
