2017 Reading Wrap Up

Hey, guys!

This year has been pretty great reading-wise. I've read 88 books this year and I've had such a good time reading them. Some of the books were really disappointing, but I really enjoyed the select few that made it to my top list. I didn't read as much as last year, but this year has been so busy that I'm not surprised I didn't read 100+ books. 88 is pretty great in my book. The books I read are narrowed down by when I read them and they are marked according to the guide below. Any unmarked books just mean I read them for myself. 

I'll post a huge end of year reading survey within the next few days! I hope you enjoy!
