My Very Own {Tentative} Book List for 2017

Hey friends!  Yesterday, I posted a list of recommendations for your book list based on books I read last year.  Today, I’m switching gears with a different type of book list.

This is my own, personal book list for Twenty-Seventeen, friends! I am so excited about this list of books.  I’ve spent time looking into books I wish I’d read earlier as well as those titles launching this year!

Listen, friends.  My book list may vary a bit because as new books are released, I always add to my tentative list that I initially make in January!  I also really love taking part in launch teams for new books, so that will switch the list up a bit as well!

For now, here’s a list of twenty books that caught my attention!  I hope to read as many of these as possible.  Join me, wont you?
