I’ve read a lot
of books over the past 2 years, about 70 in total – which is quite an
achievement. However, there are so many books I haven’t read, both on my
shelves and ones I wish to own.
But today, I’ll
be focussing on the books of which have been sitting on my shelves for a while
and that I plan to read in 2017!
Eleanor & Park by
Rainbow Rowell
I’ve had this
book on my shelf for the past two or three years and I’ve heard many positive
reviews about this book and I know many people have recommended this to me.
All The Bright Places by
Jennifer Niven
After reading Holding Up The Universe, I’ve decided to
finally pick up my copy of ATBP and dive into this story that is currently in
the process of being adapted into a movie.
One Night: Denied
& One
Night: Unveiled by Jodi Ellen Malpas
I read the first
book in this trilogy, One Night: Promised,
back in 2015 and I absolutely loved it! 2017 will be the year that I finally
reconnect with Livy & Miller to complete their story.
You’re The Kind Of Girl I
Write Songs About by Daniel Herborn
I know this book is about a romance that revolves
around the two protagonists’ love for music. However, I’ve read mixed reviews
about this book, some loved it and others didn’t find it as appealing so I’m
looking forward to reading it and seeing where I sit.
A Thousand Pieces Of You by Claudia Gray
This story is about a girl who must chase her father’s
killer through multiple dimensions. I only started reading sci-fi books in 2016
and I would like to expand on the genres I read, therefore I’ll be picking this
up in 2017.
Frankenstein by Mary
Shelley
Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
They are classic pieces of literature.
Need I say
more?
The Marvels by Brian
Selznick
A book full of beautiful illustrations and some prose
that tell the story of Billy Marvel, the lone survivor of a shipwreck and how
he pieces together many mysteries of his family. I will admit that this was
originally a visual buy because of the gold pages, cover art and the format of this
book.
The Knife Of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
Patrick Ness is a highly regarded author for the many
Young Adult books he’s published and this book is considered one of his best in
the Chaos Walking trilogy. I picked this up a while ago to start getting into
his writing and after seeing the film progress with his other book A Monster Calls, it seemed wrong not to
read this book!
There you go, folks! Those are the books from my
shelves that I will be reading and reviewing throughout 2017!
Tweet me (@bookishbroadway) what books on your shelf
that you plan on reading in 2017!
