For those of you who appreciated the books I mentioned a year ago, I thought I would share my favorites from 2016:

• The Autobiography of Henry VIII with Notes by His Fool, Will Somers by Margaret George
• The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
• Citizens of London: The Americans Who Stood with Britain in Its Darkest, Finest Hour by Lynne Olson
• Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing
• When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present by Gail Collins
• The Hills of Home by T L Greylock (my daughter – I could be biased!)
• Tahoe Dark by Todd Borg (my brother – no bias; just ask the fan base he has built with 13 previous books)

Quite an eclectic list this year. I hope you enjoy any you try! Feel free to send me your favorites. Readers with similar tastes gave me some great recommendations after seeing my favorites from 2015.

(I apologize for linking to Amazon, since some of you may resent the way they treat suppliers. I just wanted to add links so you could learn more about each book easily and Amazon comes up first when I search for book titles. Please support your favorite book store!)
