The list
Here’s a list of all the books I read during 2017! While I somehow managed to get through 52 books for the year, writing about them took a backseat, in view of the other interesting adventures I was lucky to be part of during the year. However, I do hope to stick to the task of writing about each of these books, and getting them done as soon as possible.
