Year in Review: 2017


I think it’s safe to say that everyone sits back at the end of the year and reflects over what they have achieved over the previous twelve months. Of course, being book people like we are, we can't help but think about 2017 in terms of books read and not read. So we borrowed questions from Goodreads's Year in Books and from other year-end book surveys and came up with our own way to recap our 2017 reading year.

 Nobody is surprised by this at all, right?

Book you can’t believe you waited UNTIL 2017 to finally read?

Hard Mated by Jennifer Ashley
I read 3 books in the Shifters Unbound series this year (out of order) and I think the series has such an interesting premise. I'll have to come back to it and actually start at the beginning.

 I have no excuse for why it took me so long to read this but it was AMAZING!
