I'm 95% through Ill Will by @danchaon, and I cannot do it anymore. This is definitely one for the freezer. Someone tell me how it ended.
I finished Swimming Lessons by @ClaireFuller2 last night. What a wonderful, character-driven book! I highly recommend it.
1. THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD by Colson Whitehead #libfaves16 Cleverly blends history and speculative fiction to create something true.
2. LAROSE by Louise Erdrich #libfaves16 Quietly powerful novel about bonds of family & community, justice, & forgiveness.
3. BEHOLD THE DREAMERS by Imbolo Mbue #libfaves16 Timely story about Cameroonian immigrants in NYC in 2008. Audio narration best of year.
I almost forgot today!! #libfaves16 4. HOMEGOING by Yaa Gyasi Employed a novel format to powerful effect
5. SHRILL: NOTES FROM LOUD WOMAN by @thelindywest #libfaves16 Brave, honest, and funny

Excited because our library is switching to bibliocommons, & I got to pick username: booknrrd, like a riotgrrl but less edgy & with books
11. FORTY ROOMS by Olga Grushin. All the best things go to 11, right? (No, but seriously, I could not narrow it down to 10.) #libfaves16
10. ELEVEN HOURS by Pamela Erens #libfaves16 So much packed into such a short novel!
9. TODAY WILL BE DIFFERENT by Maria Semple #libfaves16 Because I feel like she gets me.
7. SHELTER by Jung Yun #libfaves16 #WeNeedDiverseBooks Great suspenseful family drama/crime story.
8. EVICTED: POVERTY & PROFIT IN THE AMERICAN CITY by Matthew Desmond #libfaves16 Eye-opening and necessary.
My #libfaves16 list is in no particular order with the exception of number 1, which absolutely blew me away.
Forget raindrops on roses! End of the year book lists are one of my favorite things! #libfaves16
