Wait… what??? How is this R’s first “favorites list” with us? Feels like she’s been in our book-crew forever (although now that I’ve checked, she’s only “officially” been with us since 2016. March, to be exact), so that makes sense. I feel like I know ALL about R’s favorite books (and she’s as risqué as many of us with her guilty pleasure books – except she doesn’t like when someone dies in ’em, which we call “the death club” – eeeeep!!).

Reader Favorites – DG’s Top 10 from 2016
DG’s best of 2016 list is ready, too!! She’s been with us for a long time, but made it official just a bit over a year ago (joining us at the end of 2015!!) She’s been an incredibly fun and active member of our book crew, and has great book taste, so I’m thrilled she’s shared her list today.
Since this is her first official “best of” list on the blog, I thought I’d include a bit about her, so you could get to know her better:
I found Maryse’s blog after googling to find books similar to one I just finished – think it was Beautiful Disaster. And for the longest did not comment but then there are those books that you are in the middle of and you want to gush, rant or share about…so ladies ya’ll get me better than most when it comes to book addiction…yes, totally admit it…I am a book addict. *grinning*
Reader Favorites – Kandace’s Top 20 for 2016
It’s Kandace’s turn and she sent us this HUGELY AWESOME list loaded in detail. Quite a few that I read and LOVED as much as she did, but she couldn’t pick just ten. I say the more, the merrier. 😉
She says:
“My top 20 of the year. That I can remember. LOL!”
1. The Man I Love (The Fish Tales Book 1) by Suanne Laqueur (the entire series) <— This series consumed me! It’s such a complex story about young love, mistakes, tragedy, soul-mates and healing. I highlighted almost the entire book. Suzanne’s words are like poetry for the soul.
Reader Favorites – bev’s Best of 2016 list
It’s bev’s turn and just as I expected, there are SO many new-to-us books on her list. She’s our book-adventurer. Totally into our genre… and yet totally into so many others, too! And when I look ’em up… OUR genre anyway!!!
Not only did she gives us a tidbit of why she loved it, but also her favorite quote from each!
She says:
“These were my favorite books this year. This may sound weird but I can not say these are all 5 star books as I usually do not rate my reads. For the most part I am a mood reader and this is a list of the books that were the right book for the right mood at the right time. These books made me laugh, swoon, think and yes maybe even cry. These are just listed in the order that I read them.
Reader Favorites – MichelleS’s Top 10 for 2016
It’s MichelleS’s turn to tell us all about her 2016 favorites, and there’s a bit of everything for all of our romance tastes!! She says:
“As I look over my list of books for 2016, I find that, as usual, I am a PNR and Sci-Fi girl at heart. Most of mine fall within those genres. They just stay with me. That characters, the worlds, their struggles. There are a few non fantasy books on the list too.
I can’t wait for 2017 – so many of my “series” have new books coming out this year. And the few surprises here and there that are not series turn out to be the best reads sometimes. I found just about every one of these books here on your blog. Wait. I found ALL these books here on your blog! Wow. CHEERS to you. You make me a happy reader.”
