Best in Books

1. Best book you read in 2017?
Paper Princess by Erin Watt

2. Book you were excited about & thought you were going to love more but didn’t?
I ended up in a long funk in 2017 so if I wasn't in love I would just put it away to pick up at another time. I didn't have any on my DNF or didn't love book this year because I felt it was unfair to read it if I wasn't in the mood. 

3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read in 2017?
The Darkest Corner by Liliana Hart is one that I wasn't sure about but loved. I actually finished it in one day because I coudln't put it down. 

4. Book you “pushed” the most people to read in 2017?
I didn't do much pushing this year mainly because those I see on a regular basis or talk to aren't into books. I also feel like I'm beating a dead horse when I talk about it all the time. 

5. Best series you started in 2017? Best sequel of 2017? Best series ender of 2017?
The Royals by Erin Watt. I read the trio in just a short weekend it was hard to put down. I've had it on my kindle for ages but never seemed to give it a shot. Now I can't believe I waited so long. Love Love Love it!!! 

6. Favorite new author you discovered in 2017?
Erin Watt

Much Ado About Nothing by Lily Cahill is a beautiful twist on one of my favorite Shakespear books.
