Wow! Was it ever hard to choose my top reads this year!
Of the 103 titles I read in 2017 so many of them were top notch.
The best I could do was narrow it down to 25 Top Titles.
All were, for me, 5 STAR reads.
So, in no particular order, my favorite reads of 2017 were:
The Bird Tribunal by Agnes Ravatn
The Girl in the Garden by Melanie Wallace
Weathering by Lucy Wood
Out of the Blue by Gretta Mulrooney
Rainy Day Sisters by Kate Hewill
The Stolen Child by Lisa Carey
I See You by Clare Mackintosh
Gone without a trace by Mary Torjussen
The Story of Arthur Truluv by Elizabeth Berg
Sewing the Shadows Together by Alison Baillie
House. Tree. Person. by Catriona McPherson
The Beautiful Dead by Belinda Bauer
A Dark so Deadly by Stuart MacBride
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Entry Island by Peter May
The Missing Ones by Patricia Gibney
I Found You by Lisa Jewell
The Birdwatcher by William Shaw
Lost for Words by Stephanie Butland
In a Cottage in a Wood by Cass Green
The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce
Malagash by Joey Comeau
Seas of Snow by Kerensa Jennings
Dead Woman Walking by Sharon Bolton
Odd Child Out by Gilly Macmillan
2017 was a stellar year for reading.
Here’s hoping that 2018 will be as rewarding.
Happy New Year everyone!

So many on your list that I’ve read or that I have. And I LOVE your graphic. Would you be willing to share what tools you use? I’m working on adding more visual elements to my blog and yours are so fabulous! I’ve just started playing with Canva.
Have a wonderful, wonderful New Year! And I’m so looking forward to seeing what’s in store for your 2018 reading year. 🙂

Yes. I enjoyed Clare Mackintosh’s “I See You” and “I Let You Go”, amongst others this year.
I am not sure I could find the time to read 103 books, quite a feat.
