This is already part three of my best of 2016 series, and this time it’s time to think about all those sci-fi and fantasy books I’ve read last year. There were quite a lot of excellent new discoveries, and these below are my absolute favorites.

5. The Girl With All The Gifts (4,5 stars) by M.R. Carey

  2. Neverwhere is so great! I listened to the audio book a few years ago (which Gaiman narrates!) and I really enjoyed it. I think my favorite Gaiman book is Ocean at the End of the Lane. It’s a quick one, but it packs a punch!

    • I loved The Ocean At The End Of The Lane as well! I would totally call any future cat Ocean… 😉 My all time favorite would still be Neverwhere, but that one comes in a close second.

  3. ADSOM was one of my favorites of the year, too! I got it for Christmas, so I squeezed it in at year’s end and finished it on New Year’s Eve. Very happy to be on that bandwagon now. 😀 Nice to see This Savage Song and Neverwhere here as well.

    I just posted my year-end favorite reads list today, if you’d like to take a look: https://saraletourneauwriter.com/2017/01/05/my-favorite-reads-of-2016-plus-giveaway/

  5. Loved Dark Matter – so glad you did too! I want to check out A Darker Shade of Magic. Are there only 2 books? I always hesitate with a series.
    I just bought The Girl With All The Gifts! And I want to read Neverwhere sometime, too.

    • I can’t praise Dark Matter enough! And as far as I know the Shades Of Magic series is going to have three books, with the third coming out next month… So it’s pretty close to being a finished series and definitely worth reading (as I don’t think the third book will disappoint since I haven’t had a bad experience with Schwab’s work yet). 😉 I hope you will enjoy the other titles when you get to them!
