Year in Review: 2017

I think it’s safe to say that everyone sits back at the end of the year and reflects over what they have achieved over the previous twelve months. Of course, being book people like we are, we can't help but think about 2017 in terms of books read and not read. So we borrowed questions from Goodreads's Year in Books and from other year-end book surveys and came up with our own way to recap our 2017 reading year.

2017 Book You “Pushed” The Most People To Read And They Did

 Nobody is surprised by this at all, right?

Book you can’t believe you waited UNTIL 2017 to finally read?

Gretl

I read 3 books in the Shifters Unbound series this year (out of order) and I think the series has such an interesting premise. I'll have to come back to it and actually start at the beginning.

Rose Red

 I have no excuse for why it took me so long to read this but it was AMAZING!

One Book You Didn’t Get To In 2017 But Will Be Your #1 Priority in 2018?

Gretl

Yes, I know that's two books but I'm going to read them together.
