2017 All wrapped up!


I can tell you right now that 2017 was another stellar year for books!
I had a lot of 5 star reviews. So either there are a lot of great books out there or I am just very careful of what books I choose to review (which is actually true) I think it is a combination of both.

Here is the year broken down in stars -
3 Stars -5
3.5 Stars -2
4 Stars -29
4.5 Stars -20
5 Stars -  31

And here are my favorites, starting with the 5 star books (click on the book cover to take you to my full review) -

Boy let me tell you - it was really really hard to choose my facvorite 5 star books. Honestly, all of them could have gone on this list! But I will keep it to 5 with an added bonus of a 6th.
