Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week a new Top Ten list will be posted. Everyone is welcome to join. Link back to The Broke and the Bookish so everyone can check out other bloggers' lists. It's a fun way to get to know fellow bloggers.
Here it is- the top ten books of 2017, me version. As always, these are the books I liked the most, my 5 star reads for 2017.
One of Us is Lying had a lot of buzz surrounding its release, but it's one of those books I never picked up. Still... perhaps someday I'll take a closer look (I do enjoy a good mystery now and again).
ReplyDeleteJust finished Warcross this morning and discovered I really enjoyed this one. Such an entertaining read. My only complaint? I had NO idea it was part of series!! Way to leave the reader curious. :D
I haven't read any of the books on your list this week. Some of them will be added to my ever growing reading wishlist.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to my TTT post for this week:

OOoh nice! I love Kelley's books! Gemina was also a good one! Dying for Obsidio!! And ooh Warcross! I enjoyed that one too!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
AT least I have read one whoo. Dark Matter was strangely boring and good
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year with all the "best of" lists. :) I haven't read any from your list this year but I still go back and forth about picking up Illumine/Gemina.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Warcross and One of Us is Lying were both such great reads. And your list reminds me that I still need to read Gemina too!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Dark Matter and Gemina too. I need to get to One of Us is Lying, The Shark Club and The Secret History of Us. Great list!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished up Warcross - just after I made my list! It was so good!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!! I still need to get around to a few of these!
ReplyDeleteI love all your picks and some of these I've really loved as well!
ReplyDeleteDark Matter was fantastic! It was on my top ten list last year. Great list, Greg!
ReplyDeleteI already read "Dark Matter" last year but I agree that it was fantastic, it was definitely one of my 2016 favorites!
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad to see "Gemina" on your list. I know that a lot of people were disappointed by this sequel but I enjoyed it almost just as much as "Illuminae"!
Here are my favorite books of 2017 so far
Yes, to Dark Matter! That was one of my favorites from earlier in the year. I recommend it to everyone!
ReplyDeleteAny list with Kelley Armstrong on it is a great one. Some really good looking books here. I still love the cover of The Shark Club even though I've never picked it up and don't know if I will. Great list Greg and hope you're having a great Peanut-filled holiday so far.
ReplyDeleteUgh I really need to read Warcross!! And yes to Dark Matter! That one was a ton of fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see One of Us Is Lying getting some love on your list as well! I've been hesitant to try The Secret History of Us. I read Jessi's Moonglass back when it debuted, and I didn't like it all the much :( Warcross is also on my TBR list - I love Marie's books!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThe cover for Radio Silence is really eerie and well done. Now I'm wanting to read it.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks for stopping by earlier today!
Radio Silence is on my TBR for next year, so I'm glad to see it on your list!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2017/12/12/top-ten-tuesday-137/
omg GREAT LIST Greg! There is one book on your list that is already in my TBR because of you and I feel I'm afraid I'll have to add at least two more!!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!
DeleteOne of Us is Lying is a great book! I've got Gemina waiting to be read and I want to get to it sooner rather than later because I really enjoyed Illuminae.
ReplyDeleteGreat list :)
My TTT.
Thanks! I loved One Of Us Is Lying! And you're in for a treat with Gemina, it's sooo good. I liked it better than Illuminae!
DeleteWarcross, Gemina and Radio Silence are on my TBR, I hope to get to them soon so I'm happy to hear you enjoyed them! And yes, I definitely need to get to some Kelley Armstrong books soon as well :)
ReplyDeleteAll three are so good, I hope you love them all!!!
DeleteI keep meaning to read Gemina! Fab list. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, read Gemina! It is sooo good!!
DeleteI remember your review for Dark Matter, you got me interested in trying that one!
ReplyDeleteI think you might like Dark Matter!
DeleteRadio Silence sounds like such a fantastic book, and I've seen it on so many lists! It is another one that I'm adding to my TBR after today. I already did, actually :) Warcross was on my list too, obviously.
ReplyDeleteRadio silence was good stuff.
DeleteThere are a fair number of books on here that I hadn't heard of, so I think I'll want to look those up. :) One of Us Is Lying and The Secret History of Us are both ones that I am still hoping to pick up soon, glad to see they made your favorites! I also loved Gemina. The Illuminae files is one series that I never expected to like, but I just can't get enough of it. Great list!
ReplyDeleteOne Of Us Is Lying and The secret History are two that were both pleasant surprises. I hope you like either of them or both if you give em a try! And Gemina I liked even more than Illuminae.
DeleteGemina, Warcross, and One of Us Is Lying are some of my faves. I also liked The Secret History of Us, and will definitely read more from Kirby. I need to get Shark Club. It sounds so good and everyone is raving. I think I am suffering from FOMO over that book.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! One of Us is Lying is on my TBR, too, and I've heard so many good things about the Illuminae books that I'll have to check them out soon.
ReplyDeleteI kinda get depressed reading these lists. Everybody points out their favorite 10 books of the year and I’ve hardly read any of them. It makes me want to read them all!
ReplyDeleteI really really want to read 'One of Us is Lying" and it is on my TBR. Every time I try to check it out from the library, all seven copies are always in use. I think I will just get myself in line right now...and I checked, I am now the 8th hold on 7 copies. Hopefully I get it by Christmas break!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I've actually read five of these. I loved Dark Matter and Gemina, though I read them in 2016. If I recall correctly both of those made my best-of list for last year as well.

Ugh I see so many books I want to read on your list. I have always been curious about the Illuminae series. Is it going to be a trilogy? I don't like starting a series until all the books are out if possible.
ReplyDeleteI have Radio Silence and Dark Matter on my list for next year in my something different category. They both look really good. As does Warcross and Gemina. Okay really all of them! I need more reading time!
ReplyDeleteWarcross is one 2017 release that I need to get my hands on soon. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these...! But four, oh wait five (Shark Club just made it onto my TBR pile) are on my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteSo glad for you that you had so many great reads for the year.
This is basically my TBR. Radio Silence and Dark Matter are those I really want to read but I've seen the rest around so much and I'm very curious. Maybe next year I'll read some of these..
ReplyDeleteDark Matter was one of my favorites last year! It was the very definition of a page-turner!
ReplyDeleteAll System's Red was also a favorite of mine this year and in a novella package even! Looks to be a pretty diverse list! Have a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteNice list! I need to get caught up with Armstrong. it's been ages.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read Gemina! I loved the first book but just haven't gotten around to the sequel. That is something I must do in 2018. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping for a lot of good reads in 2018!
ReplyDeleteI've seen Warcross on so many blogs lately, and I loved her Legend trilogy so I have high hopes for this. It even sounds a bit like Ready Player One with less nostalgia so I'm all for this
ReplyDeleteI saw warcross on a lot of lists too, and I think deservedly so. It was pretty good.
DeleteHey ! ^^
ReplyDeleteI've heard lots of great things about Radio Silence, I can't wait to pick it up !
Hey Lys!
DeleteRadio Silence was very good!
I'll have to look some of these up!
ReplyDeleteInteresting to hear you liked Warcross that much. And Dark Matter is one I keep doubting on whether or not I'll like it.
ReplyDeleteOne of Us Is Lying is amazing!! I truly enjoy that book very much. :D
ReplyDeleteFatina xx
Not read any of those but a couple of them are on my wishlist! :)
ReplyDeleteBravo, bravo!! Would you believe I have Obsidio but haven't finished it!! It's the ARC so I really need to go buy the book with the real images in it... at least that's my excuse ;)
ReplyDeleteI recently got a copy of Warcross and I'm so excited to read it. I've also heard some pretty good things about Radio Silence :)
ReplyDeleteThat's quite an impressive list, Greg! I haven't read any on your list and only have one on my TBR pile at the moment (Warcross), but they all sound so tempting! It sounds like you had a great reading year. I hope you have another good one in 2018!
