NOTES
- These are books that I read during this year, not necessarily published this year. (For example, I read THE PRETTIEST STAR—which I adore—last year, even though it was published this year.)

- Because of my disability, I can only read via audiobooks for the most part (MVP goes to my spouse for reading print-only titles to me), so my selections were limited, which heavily influenced what books I picked up this year.
