Books in 2017

A note on this year’s list: I can’t organise it into months because it takes too long and I give up before the year is half done. I’m also including the books I’m reading aloud to my son that I haven’t read before, because the shared experience of reading is so wonderful and I want to record it when the book is new to me. Also Terry Pratchett is a wonderful gift to give to children.
