Favorite Books From My 2016 Reading List

January 1, 2017 by Jennifer

I read good books in 2016.

These were my favorite:
When Breath Becomes Air
Orbiting Jupiter
Pax
Silver People: Voices From the Panama Canal
Just Mercy
Behold The Dreamers
What Alice Forgot
On Living

A Few Quick Observations:
3 of my favorites were Middle Grade/YA: Orbiting Jupiter, Pax, Silver People
The book that set me on a path to learn more: Just Mercy
Books I wanted to talk about when I finished: What Alice Forgot & Behold the Dreamer
I suppose it is not surprising that this shortlist has When Breath Becomes Air and On Living for bookends – explorations of meaning-making in the complex stuff of living and dying.  And that….is why I read.
