I mean 2017 is over, so I guess I'm done with this but I still have a lot I want to mention.
Five star year mostly because Bubu whispered in my ear to check out[b:The Luckiest Lady in London|17290655|The Luckiest Lady in London|Sherry Thomas|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1365189080s/17290655.jpg|23912902] which kicked off my historical catchup; it has been such fun to see what books make my friends gaga just to see someone else reading them. I had read historical before, but nothing really caught me and didn't let go till I started scouring friends' favorites and taking suggestions here. It works much better than trying to do this on my own!
Also I read [b:The Hating Game|25883848|The Hating Game|Sally Thorne|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1467138679s/25883848.jpg|45762345] about 1,984 times, and I'm not mad about it.
Generally, the quality of romance I'm reading is way up, so much so my old favorites would likely be 2-3 stars these days.
