2016 has been a bit of an up and down year. Lost a kitty. Gained a kitten. Finalled in the RITA, had an ankle reconstruction. Lost a few idols, wrote a few books, read a few books. Now I traditionally wrap up the year with a fave books of 2016 post on New Year’s Eve but last year I also did a other favorite things of the year post and I thought that would be a good thing to continue as we all need a bit of a reminder that there’s still a lot of good stuff in the world.
