Best Book You Read In 2017?  (If you have to cheat — you can break it down by genre if you want or 2017 release vs. backlist) I think my best book was Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. I bought it because of the televsision show and not wanting to wait to see how it all ends. This book really surprised me and I absolutely loved it. 2.
