This week’s theme
is… *drumroll please*…
Top Ten Favorite
Books of 2017
I don’t really
like doing this post with so much time still left in the year. While I don’t
think I’ll read anything spectacularly amazing before January 1st,
there’s always the chance. So, just be aware that this post comes with a caveat
of it not being the end of the year. If I do find a new favorite, I may repost
an edited version of this list…
Also, I don’t have
ten favorites. I typically only list out five books for lists like these,
simply because I’m such a picky reader. The book has to fit some pretty major
qualifications to make my list. I managed to get six books on this one, though.
I also just didn’t
read very much this year. Things have been pretty crazy. I’ll share all about
that in a future 2017 wrap up post.

Okay, so I went
into this one with high expectations, and, for the most part, they were met. It’s
not my favorite fantasy of all time, but I really enjoyed it. It’s also got a stunning
cover. ;)
Okay, so this book
was just fun. I’m normally not big into YA contemporary, or at least, I tend to
rate it pretty low. However, this book was hilarious.
My review.
This book is just
good. It makes you feel all the feels. I read it in less than 24 hours.
While this
installment wasn’t my favorite in the series, I still very much enjoyed it. I
also love Cal. Have I mentioned that yet on this blog? Please note my epic
sarcasm here.
My review.
The finale for
this series (which is now getting a spin-off series) was amazing! However, book
two was even better.
My review.
Yep. My favorite
book of the year is the second book in a sci-fi trilogy that I put off reading
for way too long. Seriously guys, if you haven’t read Red Rising—the first book in the trilogy—please do it now. It’s an
awesome, action-packed adventure!
My review.

Alright, there you
have it. My first Top Ten Tuesday and my list of favorite 2017 reads. What
books would you put on this list? Let me know in the comments section.
I agree with you, its still early in the month for favorites, but with the holidays I am reading filler books until I start 2018. I'm listening to a silly but fun memoir right now on audiobook I didn't plan to pick up but I couldn't commit to a book that needed my full attention! I haven't read any of these books but I am glad you enjoyed them. My husband loves the Red Rising series! Happy reading in 2018 too!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm trying to get some books on my TBR knocked off that have been there for years. I suspect they'll be 3 or 4 star reads, nothing out-of-this-world good.
DeleteThe Red Rising trilogy is so good. I can't wait for Iron Gold next year. I like to wait until the last day of the year as well because you never know...
ReplyDeleteI agree. You never know..
ReplyDeleteAristotle and Dante was one of my favorites of the year! Lin Manual Miranda narrates the audio version, and it is outstanding!
