It is NO LONGER 2017 but that doesn’t mean you cannot revisit the past and read some amazing books that came out last year. This list is based on what I’ve read and still isn’t entirely complete because I HAVEN’T READ SO MANY BOOKS that came out last year. I also wanted to narrow it down so as not to dump too many books on your tbr! The following is a list of some of the best books out in 2017 in my opinion.

2017 was an amazing year for diverse books which meant we also got a lot more books that dealt with identity and intersections. We need diverse books where a character’s identity has nothing to do with the book but we ALSO need diverse books where characters explore and learn about their identities.

2017 was a year where I didn’t read as much genre fic as I would have liked. It was a hard year so I stuck to a lot of contemporary and the known but I did venture out of that a couple of times and did read at least two books that just REALLY stuck out to me.
SO, there you have it! A semi-definitive list of some of the best books that came out in 2017! Anything out from last year I need on MY tbr?
