Year-End 2016 Contemporary Fiction Favorite Reads + Giveaway
Welcome to my very late Year-End 2016 Favorites!!
My year end favorite reads are books I've read in 2016 for the first time (and not necessarily all reviewed here - eek! or reviewed in 2016 - a few were posted in January 2017). They are also not all published in 2016, but majority am.
To start it off, here's what's going to happen. Every day in through February 28th (minus Sunday) at 6:00 PM EST,
- I will tell you my favorite reads in the category of the day through their covers (you know how I love covers) and
- Remember, you can see my review of the book (in a new window) by clicking on the covers.
- Then you come back and fill out the Rafflecopter for a chance to win a prize!

(NOT in any specific order!)
Contemporary fiction. Honestly, this and the historical fiction genre was the hardest to narrow down! Just because I've read a lot, and many are soooooo good. What more can I say about these than I've already have? Sometimes, they're so good, there are no words for it.

(1) winner will win the following with many thanks to:
