BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS: A YEAR END WRAP UP

imageSince everyone is doing their year-end wrapups I thought I would share, in no particular order, my reading for 2016!  I have placed an asterisk next to those that I enjoyed the most and a double asterisk next to those I have reviewed.  As you can see most are works of fiction…a couple of “cozies”, a few non-fiction and, of course, some mysteries!
