Best of 2016

I separated out rewatches, rereads, and relistens because otherwise the lists probably would have been heavily weighted towards those.

I relied heavily on my LibraryThing ratings data to come up with these lists, although that doesn't mean that everything with a high rating got listed.

Best Books:

• The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
• Invader by C.J. Cherryh
• Hamster Princess: Harriet the Invincible by Ursula Vernon

Honorable Mentions:

• Alien Emergencies by James White 
• I Am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells

Rereads I'd Recommend:

• Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey
• Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffrey
• Sea of Wind by Fuyumi Ono
• Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey
• Binary Witness by Rosie Claverton
• Mindtouch by M.C.A. Hogarth
• Mindline by M.C.A. Hogarth

Best Shorter Works (Novellas and Short Stories):

• The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz
• "Posthumous" by Ann Christy (included in the anthology Robot Evolution)

Best Graphic Novels (Manga, etc.):

A series is listed if one or more volumes got 4.5 or 5 stars. This may not mean that I think the whole series is that good, but I'm listing them by series anyway, because I am lazy.

• Space Battle Lunchtime, Vol. 1 (graphic novel) by Natalie Reiss
• Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (manga series) by Izumi Tsubaki
• His Favorite (manga series) by Suzuki Tanaka
• Horimiya (manga series) by HERO
• Natsume's Book of Friends (manga series) by Yuki Midorikawa - On last year's list too
• Skip Beat! (manga series) by Yoshiki Nakamura - Also on last year's list

Best Audiobooks:

• The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison, read by Kyle McCarley
• Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch, read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith - I'd read this before, but this was my first time listening to the audiobook.
• Foreigner by C.J. Cherryh, read by Daniel Thomas May
• Mars Rover Curiosity: An Inside Account from Curiosity's Chief Engineer by Rob Manning and William L. Simon, read by Bronson Pinchot

Honorable Mention:

• The Fold by Peter Clines, read by Ray Porter - I never got around to reviewing this one. I didn't think it was as good as its sequel, 14, but I still enjoyed it.

• Jurassic Park (live action movie)
