September 30, 2016 at 10:18 pmBy favourite of 2016, do you mean favourite read this year, or published this year? Fav published this year would be ‘Every Heart A Doorway’ by Seanan Mcguire (who may or may not be the main reason I’m interested in this collection), but the overall fav would be ‘Death on the Nile’ by Agatha Christie.

October 1, 2016 at 4:15 amAh, difficult question is difficult to answer…
as for read in ’16 I’d say “The Penderwicks” von Jeanne Birdsall which I’m currently reading in German is forming to become my years fave.
As for published in ’16, I loved reading the German translation for “The Geeks Guide to Unrequited Love” (German title: “Die (beinahe) größte Liebesgeschichte des Universums”)

October 3, 2016 at 9:39 amObelisk Gate by Nora Jemisin is my favorite thus far. But that may be because it is the one I’m reading now. There have been many good books this year, & it it difficult to pick just one.

October 6, 2016 at 1:00 pmFor books published in 2016 I have to say Company Town by Madeline Ashby. For books published prior to ’16 it’s definitely Six of Crows.
