Choosing favorite books from a whole year of reading is beyond difficult for me. I loved the books I am about to list, but I loved many books this year. Friend me on Goodreads or check out all the monthly book lists on the blog for this year to see reviews and ratings.
The books I chose stuck with me, changed my view, or made me laugh when I desperately needed to. Since my memories of these books are freshest right after I've read them, I linked back to the original reviews I gave on the blog. Click a book title and you will be taken to the page where I discussed it in detail.
Not all of these books are new releases from 2017, but most are fairly recent. If a book isn't yet linked, that means it will be on December's book list, and I'll link to it when I have that completed. I may still squeeze in one more book before the end of the year!
