Wordprints on My Heart

I thought I would begin this year by acknowledging the authors (and their novels) who left an indelible impression on my heart with the stories they told. Thanks to these exceptional wordsmiths, my reading journey in 2016 turned out to be exciting, memorable, and happy.

Over the years, I have noticed that most of the novels I read invariably end up getting placed in the following genres:

• Suspense/Thriller
• Gothic Fiction
• Historical Fiction
• Fantasy

Not surprisingly, my favorite novels of 2016 also come from these genres. While I did like many others, I have deliberately chosen only one novel as the pinnacle of that genre. After all, it is a battle of the best. And, the way I look at things that can have only one winner.

So, here's to some wonderful writing!

Should you wish to know more about these fabulous novels, click the links below which take you to my reviews or reviews written by a friend who certainly knows her books or the goodreads page (time-crunch may have led to skipping a review but that does not in any way lessen my liking for these books):

The Ice Twins- S. K. Tremayne
Lost Among the Living- Simone St. James
A Curious Beginning- Deanna Raybourn

Happy Reading!
