As we prepare to say farewell to 2016, we naturally start
thinking about the books we’ve read and enjoyed during the past year. With this
in mind, we’ve prepared our own library list of “Best Fiction Books of 2016.”
Our list not only shows the favorites of Riverdale Library patrons, but also
some top picks by Publishers Weekly
and Amazon.com editors. Stop by our Reader’s Advisory Center, where copies of
the list are available, and see if your personal favorite made the list – and be
prepared to encounter some new potential favorites!

Run, by Bruce Springsteen (autobiography); Chaos, by Patricia Cornwell; Moonglow,

Try Something New!
Avid readers are always looking for something new to
read, but most of us tend to stay within our favorite types of fiction –
thrillers, historical fiction, or romances, to name just a few. But why not “read
outside the box” and try something different? Our new fiction section offers
some great opportunities to do just that. Consider one (or more) of these new
fiction titles: Babylon's Ashes, by
James S. A. Corey (science fiction); Blood
Vow, by J. R. Ward (paranormal fiction); The
Fate of the Tearling, by Erika Johansen (fantasy fiction); Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis,
by Anne Rice (paranormal fiction); and Star
Wars, Catalyst: a Rogue One Novel, by James Luceno (science fiction).
