This is a list of the books I read in 2017. It’s a fairly short list. At the beginning of the year I vowed to only read what I felt like reading and that resulted in a shorter list. I also had a few chunksters over 800 pages long which affected my numbers but really, who cares anyway?
Each link takes you directly to my review of that book. Happy New Year! I certainly hope 2018 is better than 2017 because it was a difficult year to live in.
May 2018 be filled with plenty of great books.
