Top 10 Books of 2017

(in order read, not including rereads):

  1. Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
  2. The Time Machine by H. G. Wells
  3. The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells
  4. Wicked Wonders by Ellen Klages
  5. The Janus Tree by Glen Hirshberg
  6. Adelaide Herrmann, Queen of Magic by Adelaide Herrmann
  7. “The Ballad of Black Tom” by Victor LaValle
  8. Through the Woods by Emily Carroll
  9. The Overneath by Peter S. Beagle

Three classics, four collections of short stories, a novella, a graphic novel, and one nonfiction title (a memoir!).  That’s a slightly different break-down than usual.
