The Hating Game looks fun, and I loved Big Little Lies when I read it. The Lake Effect was another one I wanted to read, especially since I live near Lake Michigan.

Nice! I will have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation and visiting, Alex.
DeleteThe Summer House made my list, too! This was a good year for "summer/beach" reads. I have a couple more of these on my TBR, as well.
ReplyDeleteIt was a VERY good year for beach reads, which made me very, very happy. I will have to check out your list, Angela. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteWOW, you read many amazing books. I also couldn't contain myself and HAD to list my Top 17 of 2017!
ReplyDeleteThe Hate U Give is one of the books I should have read this year but still haven't. However, I haven't heard a single soul not LOVING it, and I have no doubt that I should read it and enjoy as well. I love the spotlight it's been getting, and all of the themes it touches upon interest me a lot. I shouldn't postpone it anymore! IT IS GETTING DONE!
