My Favorite Books of the Year

 

Well, here we are! Another year over....can you believe it? This year was filled with so many great books, especially for the historical fiction genre. While I didn't read as much young adult novels as I had hoped, I did read more from the non-fiction genre as well as romance! I also got into a lot of audio books.
