Books Read in 2017

I'll get caught up soon with my lists at this rate! Here are the books I read last year. Again, rating is a 1 for a truly awful book and a 10 for a book of great genius. All books with an 8 or higher are also marked in bold font. Leave a comment if you have a question about any of them!
