Every new year, I would search on Google for articles that recommend books to read for the new year and then I will select some of them and add it to my booklist for that year. I prefer to read hard copy books to e-books, this is more of a personal decision, it makes me finish and act on what I read because I invested money into buying them.
This year, I did something different, I asked my friends on Facebook and some selected Whatsapp groups to share with me their favourite books they read in 2017. So, if you are wondering what books to read for this new year, then check out what my friends recommended as their favourite books in 2017.
