Must Reads in 2017

I'm trying to use 2017 as a way to get back on track with my reading life. I have not been online as much recently, so I'm not up on a variety of books that I should put on my Must Reads list. But then I came across posts by Michelle Knott on her blog, Mrs. Knott's Book Nook. She posted lists of different picture books, nonfiction books, and middle grade novels that are going to be published in 2017. This helped me so much for creating part of this list!

Below you will find my Must Reads in 2017!

I know that there are others that will come up during the year, but these are the ones I hope to have read by December of 2017! I've actually already finished one of the books, The Matchstick Castle by Keir Graff. It was actually my first read of 2017. See my review here. This book is due to be published on January 10th. I was given a copy by Penguin Young Readers for a review.

Can't see what else everyone has on their lists!

Happy Reading!!

  1. I totally understand about needing to get back on track with your reading life! I didn't read or post nearly as much as I wanted to last year, but I feel renewed energy with the new year and the new Must Read challenge! You've picked some great-looking books, several I have not heard of before, and I can't wait to read your take on them!
