Six Books in Six Categories: 2016’s 6 in 6
I’m joining in an annual link-up hosted by Jo at The Book Jotter.
Now that we are halfway through the year, I quickly share the books I’ve read in those first 6 months: 6 books in each of 6 categories. The categories can be ones that Jo suggests or ones I choose myself.
There’s time until the end of July to join in, if you’d like to share the books you’ve read: 6 in 6.

What fun! Clouds in My Coffee was a good read, I’ve enjoyed all of The Country Club Murders even though I’m not a big mystery reader. Have participated in this meme for the past few years… it’s time to start making my lists.
There’s just something “smart” about those Country Club Murders, JoAnn.
I look forward to reading your list. 🙂
Thank you for joining in.
I need to obviously check out the Country Club Murder books.
It was fun, Jo. Thanks for hosting!
Super list! I’m hoping to read a book by Raibow Rowell soon. She was at a book festival I went to and her signing line was like that for a new rollercoaster!
Lol, Lisa. Rowell is deservedly popular.

Finally made it to your blog to check out your 6 in 6! Thanks for visiting mine.
Most of the books you list are unknown to me, but I’ve had my eye on All the Light we Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
Welcome to Exurbanis, Yvonne!
