2016: Best of Fantasy

Thursday, December 29, 2016
Fantasy is my favorite genre and also the genre from which I read the most books. It's always hard to pare down my 125+ fantasy reads into year-end favorites so not only does fantasy get its own list, but it also gets divided by age.

2. Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn
3. A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir (An Ember in the Ashes #2)

    It's always hilarious looking at other peoples best of lists, scrolling.. and scrolling... looking for something you read.. wondering what the hell you spent the last year reading.. but I've read two! I also loved the final installment in the Winner's trilogy and Heartless was a shockingly good story. I'm thinking 2017 needs to be the year I finally read some Schwab and Sanderson though.
