After participating in the #BookBuddyAThon last year, I thought I'd once again team up with Jennie for a week of reading sprints and bookish chats. The #BookBuddyAThon is a week long readathon created by Elena and this year it's running from the 7th May to 13th May. 

The idea is to buddy up with someone (could be someone online, a blogger or booktuber, a family member or friend, whoever) and the aim is to read and chat books for the entire week - either choosing books according to the following guidelines or just going full yolo and picking out books that the two of you want to read regardless of the set challenges.

You could either read books from one particular author or you could participate in the following challenges. I happen to really enjoy picking out books that fit specifications so I decided to go with the latter.

I'm trying to read unread books from my shelves this year (she says, in the midst of an intense reading slump) so I'm here today to share 16 books from my bookshelves that I want to read in 2016. Some of the books in this selection have been sat, patiently, for years waiting for me to turn my attention to them, whilst others have merely just begun to settle in.
