I was stunned when Goodreads told me I had read and reviewed 51 books in 2017. That is nearly one a week. I do love reviewing as it is the best way to help a (Indie) writer. I've became part the books go social reviewers group on Facebook. Its a great community of writers and reviewers. What I like about it most is that it is a large group and it has writers in all sorts of genres so I can pick and choose what appeals to me. I thought with 51 books read I should come up with a top 5. The 5 star reviews that shone extra bright. Number one and two were easy but then it got harder. So here is my Top 5.
1. The future of London series by Mark Gillespie.
A sharp and satirical alternative version of history. This book won because it had everything; Satire, action and some real human characters (Even a cat!)
2. Moristoun by Kevin McAllion
A very Scottish book that totally surprised me.
3. Dance of Chaos by Tabitha Ormiston-Smith
Laugh out loud, very Australian, comedy.
4. The Indigo Rebels by Ellie Midwood
Historic fiction with strong female characters.
5. The Troubleshooter by Bard Constantine
Original take on the film noir genre. (Bogart meets blade runner)
