| Best Books! Amanda Mastrull, Assistant Editor | December 1, 2016 | | We are so excited to share our 2016 Best Books with you! New for this year is that all of our lists are compiled on a microsite for easy navigation—that means you’ll be able to find the Top Ten and the special lists (for example, genre fiction and graphic novels) in one place. Also, on that user-friendly note, we have a handy PDF available on the site that includes every title chosen. I think I can speak for all of us here when I say we’re so happy to be sharing our 2016 Best Books with you and we look forward to hearing your thoughts. If you want to join the conversation on Twitter, tweet with #LJBEST2016. We’re working on more than Best Books here at LJ Reviews though, so elsewhere in the newsletter we have a Collection Development piece on gardening, reviews of some stellar upcoming fiction in translation, and more. |

Top Ten Books of 2016 By LJ Reviews We nominated, debated, and discussed. Then the LJ 12 (yes, 12 of us, just like a jury) convened and voted, paring the list of titles from 33 possibilities to the Ten Best Books of 2016. |
| Best Genre Fiction of 2016 By LJ Reviews LJ editors and contributors selected the best titles in African American, Christian, e-originals, historical, mystery, romance, sf/fantasy, thrillers, and women's fiction genres. | | Best Graphic Novels of 2016 By LJ Reviews Columnists Tom Batten and Martha Cornog chose the year’s best graphic novels. | |
