Books Read in 2017

Can you believe that the year 2017 is almost over? I can’t. Sometimes it felt like it dragged a little, but for the most part, it zipped by! And now that the year is ending, it’s time to look back at the year and what all took place. In this case, I’m looking over what all I read. Would you care to join me, readers and friends?
