As 2017 draws to a close, I wanted to take a look back at all the books I read this year! How much reading did you get done this year?
Some of you may remember that around this time last year I set myself a goal of reading 12 books in 2017 because 2016 was abysmal for reading.

Throughout the year, I gradually started including sponsored posts in the form of book reviews. They really helped up my reading list, and I definitely found some new authors that I’ll be keeping an eye on for future releases!
So overall, 2017 saw me read not 12 books. Not because I failed my goal, but because I well and truly surpassed it! I’m currently reading my 21st book of the year! I have read 20 books! I’m actually amazed I read as many books, and I’m so excited to read even more next year!
Now I know you could take a look at my Book Reviews tab to see my reviews, so today’s post is a simple list of all the books I read this year.

There was a 20th book somewhere in the middle of all this, but it would seem I didn’t add it to my GoodReads list, and I didn’t write a review on it either. So having spent the last half hour combing through my posts from during the year, and knowing that the book is lying in the flat in Glasgow, I am glad to say that I had mentioned it in one of my quarterly reflection posts! So the 20th book I read was Happy: 50 Mindfulness and Relaxation Exercises To Boost Your Mood Every Day.
I am currently trying to read a book I got for my birthday, and my To Be Read pile is gradually growing, however I would love some suggestions! So feel free to add them below! Or, if you’re a writer or a publicist and have a book you’d like me to read and review then please do take a look at my Work With Me! page to find out how to contact me!

Thank you so much for sharing your reads. I will definitely have to check out some of the books on this list. I have wanted to read #1 and #5 for a while so I will have to take the leap and just buy them. I am not a huge reader of books, but I will definitely take your word for it. s
Wow, Katie! So many books! 💕 Out of your list I have only seen Me Before You at the cinema and thought it was a really good film. In 2018 I want to read more so will defo come back to your list for recommendations 😍 xx
