What should I read in 2016?

[nwhyte]

As ever, I found your votes very helpful in leading me to interesting reading in 2015, and I would once again very much appreciate your advice on what books to read next, by filling in this poll. This is not the complete contents of my unread shelf; I've stripped out Doctor Who books, Dutch-language comics and books by white men which I acquired

Alice Munro was marvellous; Miranda Hart was very much not.

I would look at The Bees, if you have not already; it is the most different thing I have read in a long time.

I have coincidentally started 1491 last night. Alice Munro I should read - I'm a Bad Canadian.

I haven't read GORGON'S CHILD since the 80s, but I liked it back then. I missed the Ms Marvel #2, which I've also read and liked.

The Day of the Dead one confuses me slightly because I know Gaiman wrote a Babylon 5 episode of that name but I didn't know he wrote a book of the same name. The episode is a lot of fun.

Not read any of Karen Traviss's work but several of my friends who are Star Wars fans do not like her Mandalorian books and I fear writing in Halo 'verse will only exacerbate the things they don't like.

My mother says Quoth the Raven is one of the best of the Jane Haddams.

I've ticked the Steve Jones book and the Randall Munroe one because I've heard good things about the Explainer and Steve Jones is one of those people where I'll happily read anything they write.

I suspect it's the screenplay of the B5 episode, which was published as a fundraiser for the CBLDF.

The Miranda Hart book has already gone to the Oxfam shop. She was trying too hard.

Oh *dear*.
