My Life in Books is a clever meme created by Adam at Roof Beam Reader. In order to participate, you simply answer the 14 questions using the titles of the books that you’ve read this year.
I though this was a great way to reflect on my 2017 reading year, and I simply couldn’t resist joining in on the fun. If you can’t either, please feel free to share your answers!

I don’t think I could have a “life in books” without some Austen thrown in there! PS. I’m super jealous 😍
