I don’t know why, but picking my Best of 2017 was harder than previous years! Maybe I was more critical? Maybe I just didn’t read as many amazing books?

Tell me: What were your favorite books of 2017?

Too many to choose a favorite, so I will say that I really enjoyed reading The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare
I JUST so agree with so many of these. Ride Wild, Racer, Devil in Spring were all fantastic books. Silver Silence was so wonderful, love the gruff bear hero who is beyond patient and loves to play and be challenged.
My faves were A Conjuring of Light and In Other Lands, but I see you have listed Lord of Shadows and I agree, it was a great read!

I like both the reviews and giveaways. I get books for my 2 sisters and also my twin oldest daughters. Besides getting them books, I let them know of the books I think they’d enjoy also.
I need to put this here also and since it is the book I heard last about from my sister, Wrong to Need You is the name of the book I heard she liked last. I am not the reader but the ladies in my family sure are.
I loved reading the Ivy Rose series by Gemma Jackson. I only discovered it this year thankfully because I am not a patient waiter and the final book wasn’t published until July of this year.
I liked Riveted a lot too. Dixie was always a great character and it was interesting to leave Denver. I am so sad this series is over.
I had too many favorites to list, but two notable adult books I read were An Ex for Christmas by Lauren Layne and Slammed by Victoria Denault. They were both fabulous.
Devil in Spring made my list! I can’t wait for Hello, Stranger!
All, I can’t pick so ill just say all. 🙂
I know how you feel on picking books. This year I had some trouble too. Not sure if their weren’t that many great ones out or if I was more picky or what. Here are a few I loved this year: White Hot & Wildfire by Ilona Andrews (PNR/UF), Wild & Sweet by Rhenna Morgan (CR), & Silver Silence by Nalini Singh (PNR/UF).
My favorite book tht I read in 2017 was Carve the Mark (I think its even an autographed copy)
Oh I have had so many favorites this year! One that I recently read and loved was Sugarplum Way by Debbie Mason! Something about romance and Christmas!
Awesome video, Sam. I’ve been waiting for your best of 2017 list. Yay, it’s finally here. Need to check out some of these. Thanks for sharing. ?❤️??
Oh, I really want to read Drumline and Lord of Shadows, I still haven’t read Lady Midnight though. Happy New Year!
Devil in Spring has been on a few best of lists this year. Sounds like I had better get to that one!
Great list you’ve got here, Samantha. I see some reads that made my top lists for last year. Silver silence was a good one, as was Devil in Spring and then there are some books that I’m looking forward to checking out myself like the Kate Meader books. I can’t wait to dig into that series.
Happy New Year!!
The Kate Meader book was great!! I am going to go back and read book 1 for sure!
The Hate You Give was an 5 star read.
