Paul's TOP TEN Books Read in 2016

2016 was a year of uneven reading for me. I read a total of 47 books, but a big chunk of those were graphic novels. And when I did read, I did it in bursts. This was another great year for YA Fantasy books with the start of a few very promising series. 2016 was also a great year for representation and diversity in YA. 2017 is only going to improve. It's time to share my favorite reads of the year. Below you will find the TOP TEN books that I read in 2016. Click on the titles or cover pictures for links to my reviews!

Star Wars: Ahsoka by E.K. Johnston - Paul's REVIEW

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads

Title: Ahsoka
Author: E. K. Johnston
Recent Release Date: October 11, 2016

Synopsis: Fans have long wondered what happened to Ahsoka after she left the Jedi Order near the end of the Clone Wars, and before she re-appeared as the mysterious Rebel operative Fulcrum in Rebels. Finally, her story will begin to be told. Following her experiences with the Jedi and the devastation of Order 66, Ahsoka is unsure she can be part of a larger whole ever again. But her desire to fight the evils of the Empire and protect those who need it will lead her right to Bail Organa, and the Rebel Alliance….

Review: I am a big fan of what has become of the Star Wars books since the Disney buy. Ahsoka is another Young Adult Star Wars novel and just like Lost Stars by Claudia Gray, this book is a must read!

This book follows Ahsoka between Order 66 and her appearance on Rebels. There were so many things hinted at that I wanted to know more about. Ahsoka is one of my favorite Star Wars characters and I loved getting a book from her perspective. 

I hope there are more books like this. Johnston did an excellent job of capturing Ahsoka's personality. Fans of Clone Wars and Rebels should read this book. 

I give this book a 5/5. It's a necessary read for Ahsoka fans!
