Really fun characters and a great message about self-acceptance. At times hilarious and heartwarming and then gut-punching.
I absolutely CAN’T wait for the sequel to come out next year! I loved the romance, loved the kick-butt heroine, and the different take on pirates. I’ve heard the term “book boyfriend” before, but had never really been able to apply it to any other character besides Gilbert Blythe…until this book. Beautiful voice and this quiet growing tension that slowly builds up until it finally explodes.ĭaughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller A YA Russian fairytale retelling without a romance (*gasp*). I listened to this on audio and kept finding excuses to drive to the store or go on walks so I could keep listening. The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden It also has a delicious cookie recipe at the end that has become my kids’ new favorite. One girl declared it “the best book ever read.” A book with a big heart all about family and the fact that everyone has a story. I read this book with my daughter’s homeschool book club. Macy McMillan and the Rainbow Goddess by Shari Green. The authentic feelings and worries around adoption were a welcome addition to MG lit as well. I loved the well-developed characters and the loving friendship between the two girls. And her sophomore novel lived up to the quiet, gentle storytelling she wowed me with in her first novel. So without further ado, I give you my favorite books of 2017! But most were released this year and those are the ones I want to focus on for this post. Some were old classics, like A WRINKLE IN TIME and MATILDA. Is looking back on all the amazing stories you read in the last year and remembering which were your favorites. Wish me luck!Įven better than seeing that “Congratulations” message in Goodreads, though. It’s the end of the year, which means seeing how you did on your Goodreads Challenge! Did you make your goal? I set out to read 72 books, and have read 80 so far! I’m hoping to get in another five at least before the end of the month.
