I picked up Needlework on a whim in the last few weeks, and the day after Deirdre Sullivan was actually announced as an author for YALC. Now that i had her book, i figured it would be a great place to start my YALC TBR for this year and got straight in to reading Needlework.
It’s been quite a long time since i sat down and read a graphic novel. I’ve felt like i haven’t had the time to sit and read one in one sitting (which is what i usually do) so i’ve ignored that section of my book shelves all together.

There was A LOT of hype around this YA contemporary in the summer of 2016, so as a fan of YA contemporary i figured i should probably pick it up. When buying contemporary, i generally glance at the summary one time, forget about it before buying it and putting it on my shelf for months. That’s exactly what i did here, i went in completely blind.
As the end of 2016 wraps up, I figured I should probably pull together what my favourite books of the year have been. No better way to do it then share my top 16 books out of the 47 I’ve read this year!
