The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

What were your favorite books of the Fall 2016 Challenge?

I read so many wonderful books - some that stand out:

Breakfast at Tiffany's - I'm a sucker for a great short story
All the Pretty Horses
Homegoing - since it's a group read, many more will get to enjoy this one!
Unaccustomed Earth - an amazing author, love her stories and insight into Indian culture
When Breath Becomes Air
and my fave - The Snow Child - touching fantasy, a soft magical story

I read many good books through this Fall SRC.

The best fantasy books were from the Brandon Sanderson's series Mistborn: The Final Empire and The Well of Ascension
... with a close second the Throne of Glass YA books :Heir of Fire and Queen of Shadows
I will read the rest of the series in the winter SRC.

I loved The Turn of the Screw and Bel-Ami as well as Agnes Grey.
The classics were great! I need to read more of them during the next challenge.

The book I liked best overall is strangely a book I did not finish for the SRC -A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth.
It is a huge book - bigger than War and Peace - but so worth it.
I will finish it this month I think, and mabye reread next year.

As always (yay!) I had a lot of 5 star books during the Fall season:

A Discovery of Witches & Shadow of Night: <333 Loving this series so much.
Magic Binds - My favorite UF series keeps getting better and better. This book was amazing!
Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 7 - I'm not a big graphic novel person but I love reading the books in this series then watching the corresponding anime episodes.

My favourite this season was A Gentleman in Moscow. I was so sad that it had to end!!

I have more 5* than 1*&2* books normally, too.
My 5* were:

surprise new author/great world building
surprise new author/great world building

pretty excited to love a book this old
ditto & huge fan of AGG
satisfying story

this author team always is a good read; I love their new format (free chapters w/reader feedback & sell book after final edits); seems like they worked out all the kinks
