I just watched Lala answer her End of Year Survey and a few other videos of 2017 wrap ups, so I thought I would give it a try. I do not get to read very much, so my list is short and sweet. I'm hoping to change that in 2018, but with my job and kids and travel that I like to do, I just don't know how much more I can read. With that being said, I read 12 books this year.

1. Dead Men Don't Crochet (Crochet Mystery #2) by Betty Hechtman 3/5

End of Year Survey
How many books did you read? Did you meet your goal?
I read twelve books which isn't a lot for most people, but I was pretty excited with that number compared to my last couple of years. I don't really set specific goals, usually it's just to read more than the previous year.
Most read genre?
Cozy Mystery with 7 out of the 12
Longest and shortest books you read.
The longest book I read was definitely The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue at 513 pages, and the shortest book was We Were Liars at 227.
Favourite book published in 2017?
I only read 2 books published in 2017, The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue and The Sandcastle Empire, and I gave them both 4/5 stars. However, if I have to pick one it would by The Sandcastle Empire. It was in my first OwlCrate box, and it really started me reading YA again.
Favourite book not published this year?
This is definitely Mockingbird since it's the only book I gave 5/5 stars.
A book that lived up to the hype.
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue
A book that did NOT live up to the hype.
We Were Liars
Book that felt like the biggest accomplishment?
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue It took me three months, but I finally finished it.

Both characters in Inconvenient Murder

The best written book you read this year.

What book made you cry the most?
Mockingbird no contest
A new favourite author you discovered this year.
JoAnna Carl - she's been around a long time and so has the Chocoholic Mystery series, but I just started it and liked it enough to read three this year.
Were you happy with your reading year?
yes
