December 19th Best Books of 2017
December 19th Best Books of 2017
Howl because it was so funny. Every Heart gets best novella by far. Strange the Dreamer cos she sure always writes a strong first book. To the Bridge Edge best fiction of the year. The Bear for its fantastic fairytaleness. Irresistible you most amazing contemporary. The Heart for the story it managed in just novella format. Spellslinger for it's lightness and Nice Dragons for the laughs.
And Top 2 goes to these two-
Gather The Daughters stayed with me and damn it was twisted. You all have to read it.
Asking for it also stayed with me and was so emotionally draining listening too. I still feel her hurt in my soul. This one you have to listen to.
Have fun with the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI'm adding Gather the Daughters to my wish list.
It is so good
DeleteI still can't make it through an audio book. I updated my library card so I might try a different genre before giving up for good.
ReplyDeleteFor What It's Worth

Good luck on the challenge though! I'm sure you will hit the marathoner mark before the new... next... before 2019 starts. LoL
