A review by ravensandlace
2017 on Goodreads by
5.0
Well, we made it. 2017 has been quite a year, hasn't it? There has certainly been a lot of negatives in both the real (scary world) and the bookish community. But I think that there has been a lot of positives.
And the positives is where I would like to focus on. I'm tired of focusing on the negatives. Yes, I maybe a salty sailor and the resident grandpa friend but I need to start thinking about the positives and being a better person. I'm starting to become a bit too salty for my taste.
One of the positives is that I started my blog, a ravenclaw library. I'm really quite proud of it. Blogging is a lot of work and there have been some days where it was almost a bit too much. But it's also incredibly rewarding. It's so much fun to see people interact and comment on my stuff. The best part? People actually like what I write. Like people actually care what I think about a book or lists of books. How awesome is that?
This was the year of eARCs for me, as well. I got to read so many great books thank to Netgalley and Entangled Teen. Especially Entangled Teen. Seriously, they are the best. Their books have been top notch and they are just so friendly to work with. Everybody needs to go check them out and support them.
I read what seemed like a million books. But it was actually 166 books. That, in itself, is such a huge deal for me. After high school, my reading really suffered. But in the end of last year and the beginning of this year, it really took off. I bought waaaay more books than I should have thanks to the wonders of thrift stores. I rediscovered my passion for reading again and it has made me so happy.
Overall, 2017 was a pretty great year. A lot of ups and downs, but hey, that's life. Hopefully 2018 will be an even better year. I hope that each and every one of you has an amazing 2018. May it be filled with fantastic books and incredible people. I have been so blessed to have found so many friends on here and to find some truly amazing books.
peace and blessings be upon you all. -zenyatta. (overwatch)
