Goodbye 2016, Hello 2017

I'd like to say 2016 was a great year, but was it really? In terms of reality - no. In terms of books, 2016 was great. I read so many interesting (and not-so-interesting) books this year, and I wanted to put it into visuals for everyone. I did this last year, but seeing Cait's post made me remember to do it again!

Books by Rating

From this chart, I can tell that I am quite generous in rating. I don't use stars on my blog, but I do on Goodreads. Should I switch to stars? Maybe I will, but in 2017.

Books by Genre

Which genre is your favourite? I was meaning to read to read more mystery and horror this year, but I got too stuck on Fantasy, as usual. Contemporary just pops up here and there, I don't go actively looking for this genre. Haha, yeah :)

Top 10 Books of 2016

This year has been a good year, like I said already. So here are my 10 favourites - but in no particular order!

1. A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
2. Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard
3. A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
4. Half Lost by Sally Green
5. The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan
6. Rebel of the Sands by Alywn Hamilton
7. Gemina by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
8. Heartless by Marissa Meyer
9. The Midnight Star by Marie Lu
10. Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare

All these books were amazing! Have you read any of these ones? All of them? What do you think about them?

Top 4 Disappointments of 2016

Of course, not all books will be good, and here are some of the books I've read this year that have been either a) a pain or b) boring or c) crushed my hopes or d) all of the above. Let's go!

1. Silas Marner by George Eliot
2. Twelve Kings in Sharakhai by Bradley P. Beaulieu
3. Doll Bones by Holly Black
4. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (because I expected so much more from her!)
