The Worst
Lets start with the negative first... because that's how you start things off... and actually I only have
1. Tell me lies - Jennifer Cruise
I actually dnf'd this book because it was just awful. The story started out as a mess and from the reviews that I've seen it only got worse.
2. Trail by Fire - Josephine Angelini
Just ... not good. At all.
3. The Hating Game - Sally Thorne
Ugh. I absolutely hated this book. It was the worst! The Main character was a 28 year old women who acted like a teenager and the romance was basically just lust, not love. Oh and for a book called the "hating" game there sure wasn't much hating. And the love interest was an asshole with a sob story and I hated him. I have so many more things I could go on about but I won't. Maybe I'll make a separate hate post about it... It was just awful and I seriously can't understand the hype or the high rating it has on goodreads.
The Best
These were my absolute favorite books in 2017 and the books I actually gave 5 stars to. Also they became new favorites of mine!
1. Crooked Kingdom - Leigh Bardugo
I loved Six of Crows but Crooked Kingdom absolutely blew me away. My love for these characters was cemented in this second book.
2. Shadow and Bone - Leigh bardugo
I fell in love with the Grishaverse and this book started it all.
3. The Language of Thorns - Leigh Bardugo
Yes there is three Leigh Bardugo books on this list and this book finalized her as my absolute favorite author. Its official.
4. The Dream Thieves and The Raven King - Maggie Stiefvater
I fell in love with The Raven Cycle but these two books were my favorite by far. They had such a beautiful cinematic feel to them and they moved me the most!
5. The Strange and beautiful sorrows of Ava Lavender - Leslye Walton
Such a beautiful book. I cant stop recommending it!
6. Hunted - Megan Spooner
My first 5 star read of 2017 and still cant stop thinking about it!
7. The Midnight Star - Marie Lu
This was the most beautiful ending to a trilogy and I cried my eyes out. I loved, loved, loved it.
So that's it! So what were some of your best and worst books of 2017? Did we have any of the same?
