Hi guys I hope you are all well. It’s the first day of the new year and so I thought I would share my favourite books of the past year. I’d been wondering whether to post before the year was ended but decided to at the start of the year. These are my favourite books from everything I read in 2017. I did full reviews of a lot of these books so I will link to any of them for you to check out if you so wish. I’m not going to go into detail about these books but just know that I loved all of them and would highly recommend checking them out. Let’s get started.

You’re welcome hon 🤗 I hope so too! So far I have been doing pretty good. I have read 5 ARCs and a few non-ARCs. I’m feeling pretty positive about this year. Happy reading! 🎉

This is a brilliant post! Lots of new books for me to look into 😍 I’ve only read Red Sister but wasn’t overly taken by the writing style, though I love the world! Happy new year! 😁🎉
