Top 5 Books I Didn’t Get to in 2017

Hi again! It’s Wednesday so that can mean only one thing: Top 5 Wednesday.

Today’s topic is the books we didn’t get to in 2017. There are so many books I need to read so there is always books that I don’t get to in a year. But these are the ones are top of my 2018 TBR

Top 5 Wednesday was created over on BookTube by the wonderful Laniey at gingerreadslaniey and run by the lovely Sam of Thoughts on Tomes . Also you can check out the Goodreads page for past and future topics.

These books are listed in no particular order.

The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night by Jen Campbell

 

THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD

 

I adore Jen’s booktube videos and I was so excited for this book that I preordered it and then never read it — no reason but I have just picked it up and am loving it.

Now I Rise by Kiersten White

 

NOW I RISE

 

I love love loved the first book and can’t wait to get to this one! Feels like a wintery read and it’s summer right now so I might save this for the colder months.

The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi

Star-Touched
Hades and Persephone retelling with Indian mythology! This sounds like everything I could even want in a book. So I definitely want to get to it soon.

The Rose & The Dagger by Renee Ahdieh

ROSE & DAGGER
The Wrath & The Dawn was the first book I brought because of the online book community. I adored it and really have no reason why I haven’t read the sequel.

The Wild Girl by Kate Forsyth

WILD GIRL
I saw Kate talking at the Historical Novel Society of Australiasia’s 2017 Conference and she was amazing. She knows her stuff and have a PHD in fairy tales—how awesome! This book tells the story of Dortchen Wild the wife of Wilhelm Grimm, which sounds like everything I’m into—fairy tales and historical settings.

That’s all for me. Comment down below and let me what books you didn’t get to in 2017.

Until next time, happy reading!

  3. Nice list! I loved The Star-Touched Queen last year and The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night was my first read of 2018 and I loved that one too. Enjoy 🙂
