I just finished reading The Radium Girls by Kate Moore. I thought is was an excellent book, although it's pretty sad.

noteworthy books from 2017:
I read the trio of March graphic novels by John Lewis with my 11 year old son and found them to be such a terrific way to experience the Biography genre for middle age/teen readers. We both loved them and I especially loved the dialogue the series inspired within him. ![]() ![]() ![]() Favorite Mystery of the year: ![]() Favorite Fantasy of the year: ![]() Favorite Fiction of the year: ![]() ETA... Currently Reading: ![]() I read about half as much as I normally do in 2017. I was shocked to discover looking back through my list, that I hadn't read any Historical Fiction titles all year - which must be a first for me!! I'm hoping to read about 65 titles in 2018.

Here are a couple of my faves...
![]() This one was soooo great! Set in Iceland about the last woman executed there for murder. Did she do it? Did she not? Awesome historical fictionalized account of a real crime. ![]() Love Douglas Preston's non-fiction books (Monster of Florence was excellent too) This one was perfection in terms of archaeological adventure. Soooo good! ![]() The Southern Reach Triology is being made into a movie with Natalie Portman but I read the series before all of that. Super weird sci-fi that will leave you scratching your head because of the bizarre stuff happening, but overall, immediately readable and captivating. Also currently working on... ![]() Don't want to give any spoilers, but this is not at all what I was expecting and it's super interesting and fantastical.

I don't know if I read a single book in 2017. Sad. 2017 was not my favourite year for so many reasons but I already have a nice stack of books I'm planning on for this year!

I know I'm probably late to the game on this one (no pun intended) , but my favorite book of the year was definitely Ready Player One. I listened to a lot of it in the car (Wil Wheaton narrated) and it was fabulous.
![]() I also loved the third book in The Great Library series: ![]() And I finished The Others (which is one of the best series I have read in a loooong time): ![]() I completed my (non workelated) reading challenge of 52 books, but just barely. I set the same goal this year and am hoping to come in above it. ![]() |

This was my favorite book of 2017:
![]() At Home in this Life is about embracing the life you have instead of wishing you had a different life, and it really hit me where I was at this year. Before We Were Yours was my favorite fiction: ![]() Also, I read the Hunger Games Trilogy for the fourth time, and man, I love those books!

Thanks, I've added a bunch of these to my toead list.
Some of my favorites from this year... ![]() Read this one with my son and we both found it sweet, funny and poignant. ![]() Gorgeously compelling interlinking tales connected by music. Highly recommend doing the audiobook on this one. ![]() Hard topics, important topics. Read this one with my soon-to-be teenager and we were both deeply connected to the characters. It also proved to be a good jumping off point for discussing contemporary social justice issues. ![]() This one is darker than Backman's other books, but I still loved it. ![]() ![]() |
