T10T: Ten Books With LGBTQ+ Characters

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is to pick ten books with _____ characters – you fill in the blank!

Top 10 Tuesday: Best Reads of 2017 (So Far)

I originally was going to focus this week's post specifically on fantasy and sci-fi books, but I realized that it left me with no excuse not to pick multiple titles from the same series (looking at you, ACOTAR and The Lunar Chronicles!). Instead, I thought I'd just give you guys a rundown of my ten favorite reads of the year so far - any genre! I limited myself to one title per series, which is why you won't see a few of my beloved titles in this list.
