![]() ![]() My favorites? Oh, I’m terrible at picking favorites of anything, especially books. Alas, there were so many books I did not get to read because 2016 ran out of time. I didn’t love everything on the list, but I never failed to love the process. Sometimes, it was the right book at the wrong time, or maybe it just wasn’t for me at all, and I’ve left off titles I put down at the gate. There are books I stumbled upon in unlikely places and books I purchased soon after folding up their reviews. On this year’s list, there are titles I first read as a girl and chose to revisit with grown-up eyes, as well as classics I hadn’t read before. I don’t plan my reading for the long haul. ![]() And so my own year in books was born last January, a list that includes a very brief summary and, sometimes, a few thoughts, too. My friend Nina, who has long kept an annual list with pithy reviews, also inspired me (check out her favorites from 2016 ). ![]() What changed? For a while, friends had been asking if I wouldn’t mind sharing my reading list, but I didn’t have one. Still, I have never before kept track of what I’ve read. ![]()
