This year could not have gotten off to a better start! I read so many good, diverse books.... books that will stick with me for a long time. Fiction, nonfiction, YA, adult -- the gang's all here!
The Hate U Give is a poignant story about a African American teen faced with an impossible situation and a difficult decision. Throughout her trauma, she must figure out who she is and what she wants her identity to be. This is The Hate U Give book review.
I'm cheating a little bit, because Top Ten Tuesday used this topic ages ago. But I already wrote about this week's Top Ten Tuesday topic (My 2018 Reading Goals) and I haven't written about books that I really, truly love in a while, so here we are!

So last year in May, I discovered a group on Goodreads called Around the Year in 52 Books. This group's goal is to read 52 books in a year, and each book meets a certain challenge. I wrote about my struggles meeting this goal in 2017, but 2018 is a new year!
What's the fun in having a challenge if you aren't trying to constantly beat it?
Ah, the end of a year. Always bittersweet, always reflective, always coming way faster than I could have ever predicted.
It's hard to find the time to review every book I read, and it's even harder to find the motivation when a book isn't spectacular or noteworthy or made me think or made me hate it. So, this mini-review roundup was born. (December 2017)
Since it is (finally) the end of 2017, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at what my year in books was like.
