76 Books!
If you told me in December 2015 that I would be reading 76 books in 2016 I would say you were insane, but somehow I did it. I really reconnected with my love of reading in 2016 and I am so, so grateful that I've made my way back to the bookshelf.
I thought to wrap up the year I would share the entire list of the books that I read in 2016 in the same format that I've done my quarterly reading challenges updates as well as share my Top 5 Favorite Books of 2016 video with you all. If you're interested in seeing more of my reading stats from 2016, check out my GoodReads Year in Review for a breakdown of my reading! I hope you all enjoy and that maybe you'll find a book on this list that you'll enjoy! :)
Top 5 Favorite Books of 2016

2016 Reading Challenges Wrap Up
I managed to complete both my GoodReads Challenge goal of 20 books as well as complete the 2016 PopSugar Reading Challenge (which was something I was definitely not anticipating). I may or may not have completed the PopSugar Reading Challenge on the very last day of the year, but hey -it still counts. :P
