My Favourite... Book I Read in 2017

It's the first Wednesday of the year and time for the first My Favourite... post, thanks to Maureen's Books. Fittingly enough, the theme of the week was favourite book I read in 2017.


Personally I struggled to pin it down to just one book as I read a lot of great books in 2017. Some of my favourites includes;
The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur
The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flag

    I haven't read any on your list, but I do think I have a copy of A Monster Calls.

    I love the cover for The Bear and the Nightingale. I read Fried Green Tomatoes years ago, but I don't remember much. That must mean I need to read again!

      Not remembering much is always an excuse for re-reading. :-)

    I think it's always hard to pick a favorite book. There are so many great ones out there. I haven't read any of the books you've mentioned. I'll have to check them out.
    Thank you so much for sharing your favorite and signing up!

    I didn't like A Monster Calls but I know I am the minority. The Bear and the Nightingale is on my tbr shelf and I can't wait to read that one.

      I think A Monster Calls isn't for everyone. Maybe you'll like The Bear and The Nightingale?

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
