2016 on Goodreads

I don't know if this review should be rated basing it on this year's average rating (it's of 3.4 and this is so disappointing nghhhh) or how I feel about my reading experience/goal/life.. Please let me know!! :)2016 has been a great year for reading to me. I really read a lot - 80 books (I know, my standards are pretty low lmao);I know there are plenty of people who read like 7283879202 books in 2016, but I'm soooo proud of myself!! I became a serious reader five years ago and I started from the very bottom reading something like 16 books (unfortunately that year I had serious problems with my job that caused me health issues too, so I honestly did my best, considering the fact I spent some years without reading. And THAT is such a shame because I've always loved books since I was a child).I'm so happy seeing that each year I improve myself and get to read more and more!! I honestly hope to keep up this positive thing and get to read 100 books in 2017 (NO WAY, not even in my dreams ahah) :DOn a personal level this has been such a disastrous year like #fuckmylife lolSaying it has been like a roller coaster with its ups and downs is an euphemism, so I honestly hope that 2017 will be a positive year for myself and my family because I can say we honestly deserve it <3On the other hand, I have met some new virtual friends (in and off GR) and this makes me feel really happy because I feel linked to them on a spiritual level <3~ The funny thing is I had NO IDEA about what to write, like I was sure I only would have made a little list without saying anything at all, but I'm too talkative and I should have predicted I'd have wrote a whole book (nobody's going to read this anyway, so I think it's ok lol)Boring enough!! XDLet's talk about the interesting stuff that nobody even cares: my opinion about the books I read this year lolI wanted to make something like a top 10 of the best and worst reads, but it looks like I don't have enough five stars ratings, so I will make a top 5 U_____U;;;So, let's go~~~~~ Let's start from the infamous ones.WORST READS OF THE YEAR:5. [b:Story of the Eye 9961057 Story of the Eye Georges Bataille https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1292778120s/9961057.jpg 616919].Like ugh, bruh. What's wrong with these people?? I get paranoid with this kind of books, I always feel so.. normal compared to them? And what if these people could make ME something like THAT??? I don't know, just let me be because this scares the hell out of me :'D4. [b:Curse of the Alpha: Episode 2 23011645 Curse of the Alpha Episode 2 Tasha Black https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1408918514s/23011645.jpg 43982358].Trash filled with opinable sex (?). Just NO.3. [b:La farfalla con le ali di cristallo 25919364 La farfalla con le ali di cristallo Demetrio Verbaro https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1437036759s/25919364.jpg 45809221].I don't even know if there's an english edition of this little pearl, but I hope there wasn't even an italian one. I felt the good vibes of the title (that could be translated as “The Butterfly with the Crystal Wings”) that seemed to promise me a good story, but at the end I had such an hard time to read this one.2. [b:The Plague Doctor 17201538 The Plague Doctor C.P. Sennett https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1357054026s/17201538.jpg 23677209].So, so, SO DISAPPOINTING. This summer on Amazon I found the paperback for something like €2,50 , so I gladly bought it because the plot seemed to be pretty good, too. I was so sad when I realized it was extremely boring and full of pointless facts. I didn't even like the ending that was full of action, so you can get the idea.... I'm afraid the next one is a big fat ultra mega unpopular opinion, but I couldn't make it, sorry..1. [b:Me Before You 15507958 Me Before You (Me Before You, #1) Jojo Moyes https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1357108762s/15507958.jpg 17763198].Overly hyped imo. I wanted to give it a shot, but it turned out it bored me to death and it took me MONTHS to finish it. Just get out of my life and never come back.*********BEST READINGS OF 2016:5. [b:Insanity 18910286 Insanity (Insanity #1) Cameron Jace https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1385232610s/18910286.jpg 26915698].I REALLY loved this book and the plot! Cameron Jace is hands down becoming one of my fave authors ever (this year I read [b:Figment 15698596 Figment (Insanity, #2) Cameron Jace https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1417114547s/15698596.jpg 21356307] and 10 of the Grimm Diaries' prequels, too. I will try to go on with these series asap, like I HAVE TO DO IT!)4.

[b:The Lightning Thief 6676603 The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) Rick Riordan https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388262641s/6676603.jpg 3346751].WHY. DID. I. WAIT. SO. LONG. TO. READ. THIS. SERIES????? Like, mamma mia!!!

(The movie sucked tho)AAAAAAND HERE'S THE BEST OF THE BEST aka THE BESTEST (ahahah):1. [b:Illuminae 23395680 Illuminae (The Illuminae Files, #1) Amie Kaufman https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1443433956s/23395680.jpg 26653661].THIS BOOK. OMG THIS BOOK KILLED ME.
