Lots of great books for 2017 cannot wait to read some of them!
Thanks for starting this list Sarah - there are so many books on here that I'd like to read.
Number the Stars shouldn't be on here. Or is it getting a rerelease I didn't know about?
All new historical Fiction authors in 2017 dominated by women? Not just equality achieved here, but actual domination!
The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane isn't really historical fiction. The book starts in 1988 and quickly moved forward from there. 
It would be nice to have different choices available to sort these books, such as by rating and # of ratings. I know this is an average, but it is fun to explore the list in different ways.
