The original tag was created by ReadLikeWildfire and Earl Grey Books!
So far in 2017, I’ve read 57 books and, thanks to the amazing Brock at Let’s Read, here are some other statistics that I was able to gather from his amazing spreadsheet:
For this tag, I also made it a point to not use the same book twice, or else you guys would just have a list of mostly Tyrant’s Throne and Strange the Dreamer. Also, all of these books are 2017 publications.

Great post! I haven’t read strange the dreamer yet but I’m planning to get to it soon. I’ve been wanting to read fever series for a while. Is this series completed? I enjoyed red sister and I’m so excited for its sequel. I can’t wait to read language of thorns!

Thank you, love! 💗 Strange the Dreamer is… everything! I hope you love it! The fever series still have a few more left, and I’ll be honest, I have the two before this one each one star, but I love the rest. I had to put it under biggest surprised just because I thought I’d hate it like I did the last two. So…. go in at your own risk! Haha. 😜 and yeah, I’m in desperate need of anything Leigh Bardugo. 😍

57 books so far this year? Well done, I’m impressed!
I’m so envious of people who have the time and freedom to read. Unfortunately, my personal circumstances these days very rarely allow me to read; certainly not as often as I would like. My days of finishing a 600 page book in a single day are long gone.
