And after my list of 2017 favorites,
as well as my 2017 stats,
here is to a fun wrap up:

Year of reading 2017 part 3

There are a lot of those online, but these are my favorites. The idea is to finish the sentences and answer the questions exclusively with titles I read in 2017.

If you are intrigued by a title, just copy and paste it in the search button, and you will access the review.

I began the day with Men Without Women.
On my way to work I saw Remnants
and walked by Hell’s Gate
to avoid The Enemies of Versailles,
but I made sure to stop at The Little Paris Bookshop.
In the office, my boss said : Bonjour Kale!
and sent me to research The Sun King Conspiracy.
At lunch with Arsene Lupin, The Gentleman-Burglar,
I noticed The Hidden Keys
under Charlotte’s Web
then went back to my desk, Un lieu incertain [an uncertain place].
Later, on the journey home, I bought Sourdough
because I have Venetian Blood;
then settling down for the evening, I picked up The Golden Key
and studied The Screwtape Letters
before saying goodnight to The Obituary Writer

 

I have so much fun with this every year!
Have you tried with the titles of the books you read in 2017?

READING CHALLENGES

In 2017, I participated in 4 Reading Challenges, and a few virtual book tours.
Classics Club: 21/50 (until end of 2018) or 30/59!
Back to the Classics Challenge: 6/6-12 – finished
Mount TBR: 22/48 – unfinished!!
Where Are You Reading?: 21/50 – to be finished in ??

***

AND NOW TO 2018

To simplify and focus on priorities, I will only continue The Classics Club and The Official Mount TBR Challenge.
My dream is to be able to review all the books I’ll read in 2018, with much shorter reviews for books not received for review. It will require discipline, not to jump into a new book the minute I finished one. So possibly less books read in total. We’ll see…
