Hey guys!

I felt awful about having to choose only 5 to 10… I read and loved so many books this year! But… I guess I can’t put every single one in here. But what I can do is a top 10 favorites released in 2017 and a top 5 favorites of other books I read this year but that were released previously!

So here are my favorite books of the year! The only things I did not include here were re-reads and manga books.
You can see all the books I read during the year here on my blog or here on Goodreads, as well as their respective reviews – for the majority of the books.Read More »

Hey, guys! It’s time for another Wrap-up!

This month was quite stressful and I can’t even believe I read so much and so many amazing books! I will try to catch up with remaining comments, tags, etc. in the end of April when I have some free time. But for now, sorry for all the delays!

In March, I read some books that I’ve been wanting to try out for quite some time and overall I really enjoyed them! I started really well following my latest TBR but then I received some ARCs and had to push some books to the side. So like always, it went differently from what I expected (which I really don’t like because I tend to be a freak when it comes to organizing). But anyway, I loved them and I managed to read 11 books and a cookbook, which I’m really happy about!

* Received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you very much! This doesn’t affect the review in any way. My opinions are, as always, my own.*

From the author of Epic Fail comes the story of Chloe Mitchell, a Los Angeles girl on a quest to find love for her autistic sister Ivy. Ethan, from Ivy’s class, seems like the perfect match. It’s unfortunate that his older brother, David, is one of Chloe’s least favorite people, but Chloe can deal, especially when she realizes that David is just as devoted to Ethan as she is to Ivy. Uncommonly honest and refreshingly funny, this is a story about sisterhood, autism, and first love. Chloe, Ivy, David, and Ethan, who form a quirky and lovable circle, will steal readers’ hearts and remind us all that it’s okay to be a different kind of normal.
