2016.... I love statistics, so let's talk numbers: 
 548 Books(from 3 pages to 1000 pages) 
 507 Reviews 
 233 Friends 
 It has been a busy year, very enjoyable, very tensed, very colorful, very energetic. 
 Even though I started GoodReads in summer 2015, before March 2016 I had 0 reviews and 6 friends. 
 And then I decided that I wanted to comment on the books that I was reading - especially the books that I loved. So I started writing reviews and the ones I tried in the beginning was something like that: "hmm, eh, yes, I like it. I think. And it is a good book. (does this sound ok?)". You see english is not my first language and I am incredibly shy as a person. Every time I write something, I need to double check it in case what I have written does not make any sense. 
 Anyway, it is amazing what a few likes and a few encouraging words can do to someone's confidence. I think I am much bolder now. 
 Thanks all of you for your "likes". They really helped a lot. They definitely made me braver and I am happy nowadays to express my opinion even if I make some syntax mistakes or typos (nobody is judging after all). I actually need to revisit some of my first reviews and write more things than "Oh, yeah. It is good." 
 Oh, God I sound so melodramatic... 
 I would also like to add, that I thought that I used to like weird books. At least books that nobody of my close friends are reading. I was happy to find people around in GR that love and read the same weird books that I love. Some readers are actually reading stranger books than I read and they are making suggestions. And I love every one of them. And they never criticize you badly, if you like a book that they don't like. Everybody is so supportive. 
 So, thank you once more for accepting my taste in books :D 
 It is nice not to feel alone in your effort to conquest everything written in this world LOL 
 Anyhow, lastly I would like to add that I needed to reread some books in order to write reviews. For some of the books, I thought that the rating I have given the first time should have been different. But I kept the same rating. You see, the second time you are reading a book, you have lost the element of surprise. The second time you know what you are reading and you become more judgmental. Usually the first time is the correct time. 
 These are my favorite books for 2016. I have only included books that have been published this year - although I have read many books from other years as well:
