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!
