I read, listen, and review a few books every year. Okay, more than a few. I've read the good, bad, and even ugly books this past year; but that is the hazard of being a bookworm.
These 15 books are all great books. If you haven't read them you should definitely add all of these to your "to read" pile for 2017.
My 15 Favorite Books of 2016
Picture Books
The Hug Machine will hug the big, small, or spikey; he hugs everyone. He is the Hug Machine, and his story is sweet and fun for boys and girls alike.
Every one has a lion and a mouse inside. This story of bravery, courage, doing hard things, and friendship is a sweet one that will definitely earn a spot on your bookshelves.
Bruce, a bear, is hungry and grumpy, but he's a lot softer than he thinks.
Donuts and a fun, simple, and effective book on using good manners. This book is a win for preschoolers as well as older kids. A fun read aloud for many ages.
Middle Grade Fiction
These Lemoncello books are so fun for the bookworms and puzzle fans. These books are fun and magical in a non-magical way.

Non-Fiction
I suggest listening to this book as you multi-task. For the busy woman who wants to do it all (family, work, hobbies, etc.) this book will inspire you and give you ideas on how to do it.
I loved Book 1, and Book 2 was great as well. This civil rights graphic novel is enlightening and inspiring. I loved learning new things about the Civil Rights Movement and being able to read this book super fast.
