Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted at The Broke and the Bookish. Posting a list of my favorite books of the year before the year is over makes me anxious but I'm powering through it.
I made this list by finding the books I rated 5 stars on Goodreads (minus the 2 re-reads), then sifting through my many, many 4-star books to choose the ones I like most at this very moment. The Because I am fickle. This always makes me second-guess my book ratings. Like, why didn't I give 5 stars to Young Jane Young or Miss Jane or The Power when I keep recommending them to everyone I ever talk to? My ways are a mystery even to me.
Without further ado, I present my top 10 favorite books of the year. The first half are my 5-star reviews, followed by the top 4-star, but within that they're in no particular order. All links go to my reviews.
2. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
3. The Fact of a Body by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich
4. Touch by Courtney Maum
5. Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu
6. Young Jane Young by Gabrielle Zevin
8. Miss Jane by Brad Watson
9. The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson
10. Binti by Nnedi Okorafor
Interesting things about this list: 9 of them are written by women; 7 were published in 2017. It looks like 28 of the 95 books I've read this year were published this year, which I think is more newly-published books than usual.
I'd say it was a pretty good reading year!
What are the best books you read this year?

Moxie AND The Power are two books at the very top of my TBR. My feminist heart is shouting for me to read both of them, and I am obsessed with both of their premises! Lovely post!

The Power is on my TBR list. Hopefully I’ll get to read it next year.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
