    My favorite book of 2017 is probably The Boy On the Bridge by M.R. Carey. I loved it almost as much as I loved The Girl With All the Gifts.

    My favourite book of 2017 is definitely Dim Sum Asylum by Rhys Ford. A close second though, has to be Megan Derr’s The Heart of the Lost Star.

    I read Uzumaki by Junji Ito this year, and that’s quite good!

    It’s hard to pick ONE, but I’ll have to go with Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

    Argh, I read so many good books in 2017, it’s so hard to choose my favorite! But if I think about it in terms of “which book do I want to put into the hands of everyone I know” then the answer would be The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

    My favorite was Lie To Me by J.T. Ellison.

    I have four: Six Wakes, Thick as Thieves, Magpie Murders and a Closed and Common Orbit.

    Two Kinds of Truth by Michael Connelly. Another great Harry Bosch thriller. I have read them all!

    The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemison! That woman is a powerhouse who can make you feel every feeling possible with a single sentence.

    I am also eagerly awaiting Courtney Milan’s next release, which sadly did not appear this year, because the number of themes that women can explore with a single romance novel is ASTOUNDING. Her author’s note about the unrecognized contributions of female scientists in The Countess Conspiracy literally had me in tears.

    Thick as Thieves. I had been waiting on that one awhile and it did not disappoint. Thanks for the giveaway.

    I haven’t been able to read much due to concentration problems (thanks depression!) but I’ve got Nnedi Okorafor’s Binti and Binti: Home on my list to read before the third comes out.

  • Michele Fry

    The book I’ve raved about most incessantly is Martha Wells’ ‘The Murderbot Diaries: All Systems Red’.

    Also high on my list: Genevieve Cogman’s ‘The Lost Plot; Rod Duncan’s ‘The Queen of All Crows’, and Phillip Pullman’s ‘Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage’.

  • M. Newton

    Definitely A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab!

    I cant pick one – so here are my top 5
    In Other Lands – Sarah Rees Brennan
    Winter Tide – Ruth Emery
    Black Wolves of Boston – Wen Spencer
    Refrigerator Monologues – Catherynne Valente
    Stars are Legion – Kameron Hurley

    So…hard…to pick just one. The Traitor Baru Cormorant? The One Hundred Nights of Hero? The Aleph and Other Stories by Jorge Luis Borges? All of these kept me awake through the night.

    Seth Dickinson’s The Traitor Baru Cormorant. God, this DESTROYED me.

    My favorite book of the year has to be The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin because OF COURSE! The whole series is phenomenal and I think that the last book ended perfectly. I although thought Under the Pendulum Sun by Jeannette Ng, Jade City by Fonda Lee, The Stars Are Legion by Kameron Hurley, and An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon are all brilliant as well.

    Triple Threat by by Gwenda Bond

  • Lillian

    So hard to just pick one! Especially since I fell in love with so many graphic novels this year like Clean Room and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. I also found myself backtracking to older books new to me like Murder on the Orient Express and The Gunslinger. I think I have to go with Before I Fall, a gorgeous book that propelled me out a reading slump; I completely devoured it and cried at the end.

    I think three of my favorites this year have been novellas:
    Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis
    ‘The Murderbot Diaries: All Systems Red’ by Martha Wells
    The Dream-quest of Vellitt Boe by Kij Johnson

  • Noelle

    My favourite book of the year is definitely An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon, but the Hate U give by Angie Thomas was so amazing. I can not recommend them enough !

  • Debbie

    My favorite book of 2017 would probably be either The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid or Difficult Women by Roxane Gay.

    As others have said, it’s hard to pick one. But I think I’d go with The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman. Regency demon hunting FTW.

    Strange the Dreamer

    My favorite book of 2017 was Ron Rash’s The Risen. I didn’t read that much this year and most of what I read was forgettable, unfortunately. But The Risen had some deep morality undertones that really resonated (plus a character I couldn’t help but picture as being played by Noomi Rapace).

  • Margo-Lea

    I always have trouble picking just one favorite. In novellas, I liked All Systems Red (Murderbot #1) a lot. But I also liked River of Teeth & Taste of Marrow. And Red Threads of Fortune & Black Tides of Heaven. And I think there was a new Binti that was amazing. In novels I liked Raven Stratagem and Phantom Pains. Both great second books in trilogies. Provenance was my favorite standalone novel.
    Too much? But there’s so much great stuff out there. My TBR threatens to displace my clothing 🙂

    I think my favorite read this year was “The Hate U Give” by Angie Thomas – genuine and powerful and unflinching. Definitely looking forward to her next novel.

  • Anna

    Of the books published in 2017 that I read, my absolute stand out favourites were ‘Frogkisser’ by Garth Nix, and ‘One of Us is Lying’ by Karen M McManus.

    I feel genuinely incapable of picking one favourite for the year but I did really enjoy Leah Thomas’ Because You’ll Never Meet Me duology.

    My favourite book from 2017 is definitely The Stone Sky by N. K. Jemisin. What a great ending for the trilogy! I also loved Ursula Vernon’s collection Jackalope Wives and Other Stories.
