Here's part two of my top reads of 2017. In case you have missed my previous post, here's the link.
(Not in any particularly order)
7) Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
Great story and an unforgettable one. Celeste Ng's writing and her storytelling skills are superb. (Review here)
8) Final Girls by Riley Sager
Read like a horror yet it isn't one. Fast-paced, intriguing and filled with intensity. A real page-turner. (Review here)
9) The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See
A beautiful, moving story with a great setting. Lisa See sure knows how to move her readers with her writing and her unforgettable stories. (Review here)
10) The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter
Karin's books are always emotionally intense. Loved the premise behind that suspense. (Review here)
11) Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
A refreshing read from the other psychological thrillers in the market. And the ending totally blew me away! I dare you to read it and guess the ending correctly. (Review here)
12) The Lost Girls by Heather Young
A great debut by this author; skillfully crafted and beautifully written. Suspenseful and emotionally driven at the same time. (Review here)

I haven't read any of these but they are almost all on my TBR list. And, yes, doesn't Lisa See create such great stories?
Little Fires Everywhere and The Good Daughter are on my tbr list.
Iliana - I'm glad these books are already on your TBR list, Iliana.
Lisa See is a great storyteller in my opinion. :)
Jenny - I hope you'll enjoy those two books as much as I did.
Love your list...both parts! That's a lot of good books to choose from. I will definitely be adding some of these titles to my list of 2018 reads. :D
I have considered all of these but definitely will read Behind Her Eyes. I think 2 my book club will read at some point.
I love lists from my favourite bloggers, definitely a great way to create the 2018 list.
Lark - I hope you'll enjoy them if you do read them, Lark. :)
Marce - Looking forward to your thoughts on Behind Her Eyes, Marce. :)
Behind Her Eyes was twisty, but I really liked Heather Young's The Lost Girls!
We just got back in town and I found your card and letter waiting! :)
The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane made my favorites list too! I loved that book so much. I am glad you did too. I really want to read Little Fires Everywhere this coming year. All your books sound so good, Melody. You have such good taste in books. Or maybe it's that we have similar tastes. :-)
I hope you have a Happy New Year, dear friend.
Jenclair - Totally didn't expect the plot for Behind Her Eyes and I've to admit that twisty ending took me aback, ha.
Yay that my mail arrived! :)
Wendy - You've good taste in books too, Wendy. I do think we share some similar taste in books. :)
Happy New Year to you and your family, Wendy!
I want to read Little Fires Everywhere and The Good Daughter too. Glad you enjoyed these!
The ending of BEHIND HER EYES was so good!! Loved it. THE LOST GIRLS was a great book too. I need to check and see if the author has a new one coming out this year.
Final Girls was one of my top reads in 2017 as well! It looks like you had a really amazing year of reading! I hope that 2018 goes just as well for you!!
Naida - Hope you'll enjoy them when you do read them, Naida.
Diana - I totally enjoyed that twist in Behind Her Eyes, but I also knew that some readers don't. I hope she'll have a new book out this year, as well as the other authors I mentioned here. :)
Samantha - Yes, I'm glad I'd had a great reading year with the many good books I read and I hope this year will be a better one for all of us. :)
