Post up to five books you enjoyed most this past year, or that had the biggest impact on you, etc. They do not have to have been published in 2017, just new to you this year.

Mine, in no particular order:

Things We Lost in the Fire by Mariana Enriquez

Sympathy by Olivia Sudjic

Mirror, Shoulder, Signal by Dorthe Nors

Beyond the Screen Door by Julia Diana Robertson

...and one spot I'm keeping open for now because I can't decide!

Gonna leave it at just the four since I still can't decide and no one's reading this anyway.

Mine are:
Mere Christianity by C.S Lewis
Heart of Obsidian by Nalini Singh
Originals by Adam Grant
