Not much time during 2017 was spent in silence or without my face between the pages of a book. If I wasn’t reading a book, I was listening to one. Consuming books in two formats meant I read way more than normal. The good news? I read so many good books! The downside to all that reading? I may have forgotten how to enjoy sitting alone with silence. Goals for 2018.

In the meantime, here are my favorite reads from 2017, listed in no particular order:

Throughout the year, I read 142 (!) books. They’re all pictured below and you can see my reviews over at Goodreads.
