My Top Reads of 2017

My Top Reads of 2017

So, everyone’s making lists of their fave reads of 2017, and I figured I’d just jump on the bandwagon! Please note–I read both mainstream and Christian fiction, so I’ll note whether it’s Christian or not below. Also, if you want to know more of what I’m reading, please follow me here on Goodreads!


I read a LOT of mysteries in 2017 as I was gearing up to write a cozy mystery series in 2018 (working on that now, my friends, and I’m excited to introduce you to some FUN new characters!). So first, I’m going to list the first-in-series mysteries I found this year (and then I promptly started bingeing the ENTIRE SERIES!


Mystery Series:



1) (Christian fiction) The Gwen Marcey forensic mystery series by Carrie Stuart Parks. This series started with A Cry from the Dust and I could NOT put it down. This series features a plucky, breast cancer survivor heroine who’s divorced and carries guns. What more could I ask for!? But wait! There’s more! I can’t figure out the murderers easily!

Alternate historical novels are one of my favorite genres; but I came to discover them relatively late in life, and until this past year had never read any of Harry Turtledove's acclaimed work in that field. So my favorite read of 2017 was the long awaited one of his stand-alone novel The Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove The Guns of the South.
