Adios 2017 ! Hola 2018 !

I can't believe 2017 is almost over! I'm very very excited for 2018 ❤❤ I have a thing for beginnings :) I also love to look back on the ending and reminisce over all the amazing things of the past year. 2017 has been pretty awesome for both my personal life and my bookish life. So here I present to you my awesome year in books!

Favorite Reads

Holy cow it was so hard narrowing down to just 15 books! I'd say the year has been pretty good for books. I discovered quite a few new authors and started quite a few new series. (Click on the book covers to go to my review.)

*I loved Godsgrave too but as I haven't reviewed it yet, I haven't added it to the list.

Books That Disappointed Me

Sadly it wasn't all a bed of roses! Quite a few books disappointed me to no end.

Favorite Authors I Discovered in 2017

Wow it's been the year of female authors for me! :)

→ Marissa Meyer → S.A.Chakraborty → Vic James → Zoraida Cordova

→ Susan Dennard → Leigh Bardugo → Benjamin Alire Saenz → Maria V Snyder

Favorite reads that were Recommended by Friends

Sending out virtual hugs to all the friends who made me pick up these books!

Favorite Ships

Basically these are ships I'd go down with in any ocean on this planet or any other!

🚢 Ari and Dante - They are both the biggest cinnamon rolls to ever cinnamon roll.

🚢 Kaz and Inej - CAN THEY JUST KISS ALREADY??

🚢 Alina and Nikolai - I don't care what you think but I say Nikolai was better suited for Alina than the Darkling or Mal.

🚢 Yelena and Valek - Slow burn, beautifully built romance of the century.
