My 2017 Reading List
I update this page to keep a list of all the books I read during 2017.
As I’m now retired I will should have lots more time for reading 🙂
I am also part of a book club where we have a set book to read and we meet to discuss it each month.

It seems like I’m fairly consistent, reading approximately 40 books a year. Considering the amount of travel I’ve done this year I’m pleased with the number of books and the variety of books I’ve managed to read! My challenge was 45 books, so I’m quite happy!
(Here are links to my lists of 2016 books and my 2014/2015 books)
If you have any suggestions for books to read, just let me know.

What a great list of books! Without a doubt the Handmaid’s Tale is my favourite out of those. I can’t wait to hear what you think of Grandmother.

I agree the Handmaids Tale was pretty hard to beat! It’s fun getting recommendations from others and I’m really looking forward to Grandmother, as I enjoyed a Man Called Ove so much. I’ll be sure to let you know. Thanks for stopping by and joining in the conversation.

Great list! Congrats on reading so many books this year! And kudos for writing the all down! I was just thinking this week about my favorite books of the year, but I have no idea how many I’ve actually read. I need to get much more serious about the way I record them, and the dates completed.

Thanks Wendy, it’s great to connect! I like using the Goodreads links to keep track of my reading and it means I can ten link up to them in my posts/pages. I’d be happy to hear what your favourite book has been when you decide.
