Last year I read my first ever book by Neil Gaiman (I KNOW.) (American Gods). So 2017, for me, was sort of The Year of Gaiman and I spent it getting my hands on as much of his work as I could. I picked out a few of my top Gaiman reads for the year and gave them one spot on my list (the rules are pretty liberal around here). I did the same for another author I happened to discover this year, Jason Reynolds. Again, as soon as I read my first book by Reynolds I immediately went after more. Playing catch-up is SUPER fun when you don’t have to wait around for an author to put out more stuff for you to read. The rest is, as per me, a little bit of everything. Happy New Year and Happy Reading!
