It's that time of year again where I sit down and look back at all the books I've read over the last twelve months and what a year 2016 has been!
I've read some amazing books and it's always difficult to pick out my favourites. Having read 85 books this year it's been a tough job but after some careful consideration I've managed to whittle it down to twelve.
So lovely readers, here (in no particular order other than roughly the order in which I read them) are my favourite books of 2016. You can read my review of each book by clicking on the book title and author.
