Sunday Synopsis

Reading - 2017 Year in Review

This was one of my favorites.  I still haven't seen the movie yet, though.

This one was completely outside of my comfort zone.  Very strange sci-fi plot.

This was another of my favorites, and also outside my comfort zone.  Very thought-provoking.

This one was the worst book I read.  Slow-moving and depressing.

This was the best young adult novel I read this year.  Very heart-warming.  I still haven't seen this movie, either.  I'm afraid it won't be enough like the book.

This was my absolute favorite overall.  Philippa Gregory can spin an awesome historical fiction tale.  She spares no detail!

I exceeded my goal of 26 books by reading 32 during 2017 (not including children's books I read in class).  They are listed below with the most recent book first.  I've set a goal of 36 books for 2018. The most I've done in a year is 41, so I'm hoping I can achieve my goal.

Have you read any of these?  What is your favorite book of all time?  Any suggestions for my "want to read" list?
