2017 Books

I don't have a specific number of books that I intend to read this year.  I'm going to read books that interest me.  I read across all genres and ages.  Some of the books I read, I will write a review for and post the review either on this or my "Books for Teens" blog.  I'll include the links to those reviews on this page.  I also publish some reviews professionally, but I don't plan on linking those reviews on here.

I am participating in a couple of reading challenges this year.  One with the Baltimore County Public Library, which you can find here: 2017 Reading Challenge and Book Riot's "Read Harder Challenge" which you can find here: Read Harder 2017.

I also plan to read many of this year's award winners, which will be announced at the ALA Midwinter Convention.

I hope you have as much fun exploring new worlds this year as I'm planning to!
