Hey!
I thought it would be fun to do a blog post with the books that I rated five stars. I’ll also have one for four stars and three stars as well. In 2016 I read 105 books and only rated 15 of them with five stars. In 2017 I read a lot less (67 books) and managed to rate so many (27) of them five stars! I was either less pickier with five stars this year or I read some pretty amazing books. 😛
These are in no particular order. I just sorted my Goodreads 2017 list by “rating” and these are listed from top to bottom. I did try to group same author/series together though.

I love this post! I really need to start using GR. I don’t really rate books, and it’d be such a good way to keep track of my reading.
The only two books on this list I’ve read are the Bone Season and the Mime Order, and they’re also five stars for me too. I love them and the sequel The Song Rising was one of my top books of last year. I can’t wait to see how Samantha Shannon continues the series and I’m a little gutted we have to wait quite a while for the fourth book.
i loved the song rising too, but not as much as the first two books. so i didn’t give it five stars. i can’t wait for the next book and having to wait so long sucks!
Ah fair enough.
Oh great post, Ashley! I haven’t read many of these books, but I loved Silvera’s More Happy Than Not, that book broke my heart haha. I can’t wait to read Jenn Bennett’s book, Alex Approximately, it sounds SO great! So happy you loved it 🙂
thanks, marie! more happy than not broke my heart too, haha. i think you’ll love alex, approximately. 🙂
So many of these are favorites of mine as well! I am going to have to add the others to my TBR.
happy to hear that you loved a lot of these too!
Really hoping to read When It’s Real, Bad Romance, and Alex, Approximately this year. Glad to see they rated so highly for you!!
i think you’ll really enjoy those books! it was so hard for me to put them down!
I love this post! It makes me want to read all of these beautiful novels! 🙂
thank you! i hope you get to read all of these books soon! 🙂

27 five-star reads is incredible. I think I had about 12-15 five-star reads last year. The Hollow Girl, P.S. I Like You, and More Happy Than Not were all wonderful. I rated those all four stars, but can totally see why you gave out five stars. Hope your 2018 is filled with just as many five-star reads!
I was pretty surprised that my count ended up being 27 five star reads since in 2016 I read WAY more books than I did last year and I only had 15 five stars lol. The Hollow Girl was so good! I wish more people were reading it and talking about it!
