Books I Read in 2017

Song at the moment: "Watchmaker" by Hands Like Houses

It's that time of year again where I share what books I've read the past year. I made past blogs like this which you can find by clicking their year:

2016
2015

My goal was to read 50 books and I surpassed by by reading 69 (HURR DURRR 69) books. I almost got to 70 but I was only halfway done with Stolen by Lucy Christopher on December 31 and I didn't want to rush through it (but I just finished it last night and HOLY FUCK).

So here are all the books! (If there's an * that means I read it for schoolioso)

WOOO! My average rating for all of these were about 3.52 stars out of 5 and the average page count is 316 (all according to Goodreads).

I made a video of more statistics which you can find here. Y'all already know I loved some of these books and despised others so watch out for those blogs/videos too! I chose 7 for each.

That's all I got. This year's reading goal is still 50 but I wanna try to read longer books. I choose one Big Book ever year (2016's was House of Leaves and 2017's was Les Miserables) and this year's is War & Peace.

Peace out, y'all.
