BOOKS READ IN 2017 Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
I’m sure you think I was complaining about nothing. You probably think I’m a whiny teenager. And yeah, it was all in my head, probably. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t real. So f**k you all.
Happy New Years Eve! I just posted my yearly wrap up with some of my bookish resolutions on the blog (link in bio). Thanks to all the publishers sharing their new reads with me. I’m so excited for 2018 because I have such good reading plans for myself. I can’t wait. For now, here’s a pic of me with all the books I read this year. Not pictures, the books I got from the library and my ebooks. How did you make out this year with your reading? . . . #bookstagram #bookish #bookblog #currentlyreading #bookphoto #bookstack #booksiread #2017reads #newyearseve #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #simonereads #booknerd #bookworm #booklove #booklover #igreads #badassbookbabes #culturetripbooks #hyggereads #thathyggefeeling
Today is the day! My favourite reads of 2017! • - The Hate U Give. This is the only YA in my list and considering I haven’t enjoyed the genre in a while, including this title here speaks volumes about how much I loved it. - Peter and Alice. This one is a play and has a very special place in my heart. It broke me. I like to read plays out loud and I couldn’t stop my voice from quivering or my tears from coming. Every single word is perfect. - Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifiesto in Fifteen Suggestions. A wonderful little book. Adichie is straightforward and unapologetic. It packs a punch. - The Song of Achilles. Another one that destroyed me completely. I had so many feelings. The writing style is perfection. - The Tobacconist. I had high expectations for this one after reading A Whole Life and oh boy, were they met. I loved it. I read it in one sitting. Seethaler’s way of telling a story works very well for me and Collins’s translation is absolutely perfect. - Rebecca. What a masterpiece! Words fail me to tell you all why you should read this but believe me, you should! The story is atmospheric and an absolute roller-coaster of emotions. The tension by the end was unbearable in the best possible way. I think about this novel and its characters all the time. The story traps you in and you cannot let go. - Sing, Unburied, Sing. This was my first Ward and I have the rest of her books on my wishlist to buy them once finals are over to devour them. I absolutely loved Ward’s lyrical writing because it makes you feel so much for this family and their struggles. - Los Tres Mosqueteros. This classic took me completely by surprised. It’s massive but so worth your time. I adored it. • That’s all! Now let’s see what 2018 has in store, reading wise! What books made it to your favourite reads? ❄️ • • • #unitedbookstagram #2017reads #rebecca #classics #literaryfiction #stackofbooks #favouritereads #thehateugive
