J.D. Robb discussion

I've started thinking about some of the awesome books I've read in 2016 . . . ones that may land on my Top Five 2016 list.

Share titles of books you read in 2016 that could end up in your Top Five of the year. You know - those you couldn't put down, those that stopped your heart, those that kept you reading way into the night.

Edited 12/5/16:
Now it's time to list your Top Five (or Ten) books of 2016!

Love to see what everyone considers Top Five material. Share those books that blew you away in 2016. Doesn't matter when they were published - just that you read them this year.

There's one book that will rank very high - if not #1 - on my list for 2016. It turned out to be an epic read that defies description & refuses to be placed in a small box labeled this genre or that genre. It crosses several genres actually. None of it mattered as it just blew me away. I still haven't recovered. The book is

So far I thinks these are my Top five (reading order):

(no English translation found) by Guillaume Musso
by Kitty French (best erotica this year)
by Eric E. Wright
by Kay Bruner (best biography this year)
by Mary Ellen Bramwell

Well, choosing only five is going to be tough. Here's the list I'll work from:

Some great books!

List any & all books that are "in the running" for you. We'll all see if we can get it down to the top 5 - the cream of the crop - by year's end! :)

We started off listing books that might make our Top Five for 2016. Now it's time to list those books that make your final cut! What is your Top Five or Top Ten of the year?

It's really hard for me to narrow down my list, but I'll list some that just blew me away. In no particular order -
My favorites of 2016 are:
- (all 3 books in trilogy)
Also - any of the Troubleshooters books read among many, many others!
Edited to add - just finished it and think it deserves a top spot.

5- 10, hmmmmm, here goes-

1- MACKENZIE FIRE by Elle Casey, a great blend of laugh out loud humor and romance
2- THE MISSING LINK by J.M. Sevilla
3- BECOMING NOAH BAXTER by J.M. Sevilla ( sequel to the Missing Link)
4- THE WALL OF WINNIPEG AND ME by Mariana Zapata ( this one made it my all time favorites list)
5- LOVER AT LAST by J.R. Ward- oh my!!
6- PROTECTING ALABAMA by Susan Stoker I have no idea why I liked this book so much. It has insta love, is about Navy Seals and has a hero who is always talking about how tough/ strong he is, all things I hate in a story. But I've read this book several times. I'm kinda embarrassed I like it so much.
7- THE TROUBLESHOOTERS series by Suzanne Brockmann- I'm so glad there was buddy read for this series, I never would have picked up any of the books on my own; I gave most of the books in this series 5 stars.
8- NOVEMBER 9 by Colleen Hoover
9- REAPER by A. Zavarelli
10- KANE by L.A. Casey

The Sound of Glass by Karen White
Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult
Calculating God by Robert Sawyer
Crime and Poetry by Amanda Flower
Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King
