my favourite reads 2016

Extremely random....but extremely important: the best of all the books I read in 2016!!!

It was a wonderful reading year.
I got in a LOT of reading the first half while we were driving from our old home to our new with a van packed full of belongings and siblings...my reading definitely dropped the second half of the year because of my job and the amazing outdoors which does actually trump books (shocking, I know!).
so here they are...

I found some pretty life-changing books in 2016...
Colors of Goodbye
I Don't Wait Anymore
Hunting Hope
Hope Heals
It Was Beautiful

....as well as some other great ones....
Strong and Kind
20 Things We'd Tell our Twenty-Something Selves
If My Husband Would Change, I'd be Happy
Tying the Knot
One Minute After You Die

...and some autobiographies...
Unbroken (again)
Swimming with Faith
Young and Beardless
The Good, The Bad and the Grace of God

not to forget some awesome fiction...
