I'm pretty much still exclusively reading SF and Fantasy, with the occasional non-fiction book thrown in (but very occasional) and these are the best of what I read in 2016:

Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor, a first contact novel set in Nigeria

Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee

The Obelisk Gate by NK Jemisin (though you need to read The Fifth Season first)

A Gathering of Shadows by VE Schwab

Archivist Wasp by Nicole Kornher-Stace

Conspiracy of Ravens by Lila Bowen

Updraft by Fran Wilde, which finally came out in paperback in the UK

City of Blades by Robert Jackson Bennett

Uprooted by Naomi Novik, which subsequently went on to win the Nebula and World Fantasy Award

The Silver Tide and The Iron Ghost, both by Jen Williams

There is also ongoing love in my heart for Saga, Ms Marvel and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

More detailed commentary is available at my Booklikes blog if you're interested in any of the above.

Meanwhile, on the idiot box, this is how it falls out at the moment...

Still watching (though in some cases massively behind): Brooklyn Nine Nine, Elementary, iZombie, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow, Vikings, Lucifer

Got bored and/or annoyed and wandered off from: Sleepy Hollow, Blindspot, How to Get Away With Murder, Empire, The Blacklist, Jane the Virgin

Unexpectedly enjoying: The Good Place (and I usually loathe US 'comedy', so that's saying something) and Pitch (even though I know less than nothing about baseball!)

Happy to discuss any of the above in the spoiler-laden world of comments!
