Happy Monday, good people of the blogosphere! Today, I'm gonna talk about my favorite reads of 2016 so far, and I wanna hear all about yours! These are in NO particular order. Ready? Let's get going!
My first isn't a book or series I've reviewed yet, but I've read all but the last one (The Crown). The Selection Series by Kiera Cass. I enjoyed this series more than I thought I would. You all know how much I love a spunky female protagonist, and America takes the cake in this series. She's vivacious, true to self, and endearing. Love it. Review to come (possibly on the air).
Second, I loved the Frenzy series by Casey L. Bond. Seriously. They're such quick reads, I think I blazed through the first three books in two days. Since the fourth just hit the shelves, I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I totally plan to very soon! Porcha Grant is witty, just tough enough, and good at keeping me on my toes as I read. Review of the whole series to come VERY soon.
I can't leave the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer off this list. I just finished Fairest, and Winter is sitting on my shelf, beckoning to me. I'm totally admitting to not liking Fairest. You all know how I feel about not telling the villain's backstory, and that's what Fairest does. I now feel kinda bad for Levana, and I don't like it. Hating on her was something I enjoyed, and it made me pull hard for Cinder to win. On the fence. Once I finish Winter, I'll review both of the last books at once. Cross your fingers for me!
I loved The Girl in 6E by A. R. Torre. Totally planning to continue that series, too! You've all read my review for that book (I hope). If not, find it here.
Totally can't forget The Adventures of Sir Edric! You'll laugh. I loved this book too much. See my review here.
Because of my fascination with the macabre this year, I greatly enjoyed Dark Bishop by Casey L. Bond and Rachel Brownell, too. Man, did that book make my jaw drop! Don't miss it! I wrote a review already and posted it here.
To be honest, this isn't all of them, but that would make for a VERY long post! haha!

2016 Review Team
Because of popular demand, I'm bringing back the Time for Books Review Team!
Welcome to 2016, everyone :)
Last year, I signed up as HUNGRY, and I didn't make it. BOOOOOO!!! I only got to 16. This year, I'm signing up with the same commitment, but under the new level of EARLY BIRD.
Want to join the fun?
Here are the instructions:
Last year, there were 540 book reviews written and linked up. You can check them out here.
Why should you join? I also curate a review magazine on Flipboard with over 2,000 regular readers, and has enjoyed over 87,000 shares of articles I include. Your review will go in there.
It's my way of helping you get more traffic to your blog and more eyes on the reviews you write.
Happy 2016! I look forward to reading with you!
Be sure and come back around tomorrow to check out my post on the changes that'll take place for 2016.
