TTT: The Best Books I've Read (so far) In 2017



Hey bookish friends, I am down with some terrible stomach bug. I thought it was my terrible cooking but I'm the only one in the house sick so I guess that's not it. I will do my best to get to comments tonight/tomorrow/the next day and do some visiting but for now I am going to plop myself down and not-so-silently suffer with this nausea.  

 Today's Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish. The prompt:Top Ten Best Books I've Read in 2017 (so far). I completely intended to read from my tbr pile this year but then I succumbed to review requests and allowed the siren call of Netgalley to get the best of me. I shamefully admit that I haven't touched a "real" tbr book since I attempted to read Malfi's Snow several months ago but I have found some gems in the review queue!

5 Stars

I'm stingy with the 5 stars but here are three very different books that I just adored.

    Swapship Troopers looks like a fun read. I still need to get Bones Rain From the Sky. I remember your review and added it to the wishlist afterwards but don't think I ever grabbed a copy. Nice list!

    Sorry, haven't read any of them! I've always been tough to impress book wise but I've had a great year for 4 and 5 star reviews so it was hard to pick!

Tackling the TBR List in 2018: Time to Vote!

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
