Shawna's 2017 challenge: 45 books

[Shawna]

No. 42: The Midnight Line

[Ilona]

You're almost there! Which books are your favourites so far this year?

[Shawna]

So far, my favorite novel has been The Summer Before the War. And every single person I've recommended it to has loved it as well!

For non-fiction, I'm going to go with Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI.

But the year's not over yet!

[Shawna]

Couldn't figure out why this list and the one on my home page weren't adding up, and I realized I forgot one book I read on my long trip. So we'll make it No. 43 here: Himself

No. 44 Anything Is Possible

I really liked this. Now I wonder whether I should go back and read My Name Is Lucy Barton. I skipped it because I just didn't enjoy Olive Kitteridge. I struggle with unsympathetic lead characters.

Ta-da! Done! And with a whole month to spare.

No. 48: History of Wolves

This got rave reviews, but I didn't love it as much as some did.
