Top 20: #FAC16

Coming out of the whirlwind that was the Twitter Chat for "Fledgling Authors Chat 2016" as hosted by Rachel, Kristen, and Nicola, I have a lot of feelings -- and so does my wallet. I had a great time and talked to a lot of amazing authors, so here is a list of the Top 20 books I will FOR SURE be checking out next year (these are listed in no particular order)! You can check out Rachel's blog for a complete list of all the books and authors who participated or try and scroll through the #fac2016 tag on Twitter!

All of these link to the book on Goodreads and the description of them are based on the author's answer to "Describe your book in five words" that was part of the chat! There will be a picture of the cover of the book with it if there is a picture of the cover up on Goodreads.
