12 Best Books to Read in 2016

Each New Year brings a renewed sense of motivation. Whether your goal is to focus on a healthier you or finally get organized, the New Year is a time to conquer your resolutions…. though you never need to wait for a ball drop to make a change in the right direction.

Every year, I set an intention to read more. I’m trying, I promise. There are so many fantastic books out there and so little time (or so it seems). To keep myself on track and inspired, I compile a list each year of must-reads, at least in my book (see what I did there?). This year’s list includes a few 2015 end-of-year releases and favorites, as well as a few highly anticipated 2016 reads. I’m excited to lose myself in a book, to be inspired, and to get a break from screen time (kiddies aren’t the only ones who need a daily time limit!). Happy reading.

    Have you ever tried audiobooks? So much easier to get reading done. You can listen while you are driving, cooking, cleaning, etc.
