Kelly's Favorite Books of 2016



By Kelly Bridgewater

During 2014, I have always wanted to find out how many books I read during the year. I read A LOT, but I have never kept a journal with the names and authors of whose books I read this year. During 2016, I had a hard time with the passing of my Daddy, dealing with my Daddy's final expenses and things while my family moved to another town. It has been a crazy and hectic year. I really didn't read as much as I usually do. Or write. Or research for my novel.

In 2014, I read 192 books. In 2015, 201 books, but for 2016, I only read 90 books. ALOT different than normal. That's okay. I hope during 2017, I read not as much either because I want to work on my novel.

But since this is the beginning of 2017, I want to inform you of my favorite books of 2016. (This list is just a listing of my favorite books in no particular order. Enjoy!)

So here goes:

Playing the Part by Jen Turano (All images are from Amazon unless noted!)
