Hey guys, today I am coming at you guys with an unexpected blog post! Today I am telling you guys about my top 5 2017 releases, which is a surprise because I had no idea I had even read 5!
★★★★☆
It took me from October 24 to December 4th to read this one but don’t take that as a bad thing. It has been a long while since I have wanted to savour a book and I honestly didn’t see it coming. This was the first Ryan Graudin book I’ve ever read and I am blown away so far, I loved all the characters and I enjoyed that this was a time travel book that actually included time travel and the dangers that come with it.
★★★★☆
Best.Ending.Ever.
This was seriously such a fantastic novel, it really made me think and I really appreciate it. Also, there is so much death and competition, how could I not love it?
THE GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUE
★★★★★
THIS BOOK IS AN ADVENTURE! I loved every second of this. As soon as I finished listening to the audiobook, I immediately wanted to start it again. Actually, I am really considering to re-read it sometime soon.
DOWN AMONG THE STICKS AND BONES
★★★★★
I wasn’t expecting this to be as funny as it was, nor was I expecting to finish this book in one day. But hey, this series is just that good!
This is a fantastic series and so far this is my favourite novel in the trilogy. That being said, book 3 comes out in a couple of days and I am so excited for it!
★★★★★
I loved this book, it made me think and it managed to get me to love Peter Pan.
This is a fantastic novel, it is the book that really got me into retellings of classic stories and I love it.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
THE SANDCASTLE EMPIRE / THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END

I read Down Among the Sticks and Bones last month and loved it! It makes me all the more excited about Beneath the Sugar Sky next month! I also read They Both Die At the End, too but some of my faves this year were THUG, Dear Martin, Moxie and I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter! 🙂

So far mine has been Down Among the Sticks and Bones! It was kind of a slow start for me, but once we got into that world, I couldn’t help but fall in love with it. It was dark and gothic and creepy…ahhh.
Oooh you’ll have to check them out soon. I waited for a long time to read Moxie but it ended up being such a huge surprise for me. 😀

Invictus is really good, it really dives into the theology surrounding time travel itself and all the characters are really enjoyable and different from each other! I hope you enjoy it when you get to it!
