The Best Of The Best Of My Reading Life In 2016

I read 352 books last year. No one can expect me to identify a top 2 or 3. The best I can do is identify the ones I liked best in certain categories. Since Goodreads organizes covers in rows of 6, I 
forced myself to limit my lists to a maximum of 12. On any given day, I will claim one or two of these books to be the best of the best. On a different day, I would claim others. I've added links to at least some of the ones I've reviewed.
For now, these are my picks for the best of their kind that I read in 2016.

    Thank you for this list! I loved so many that you have listed (some of them are on my favorites list too!), I have others on my #mustreadin2017 list, and others I am now going to go add to my TBR now :)
