I’m a fairly eclectic reader, though I’ve now officially given up even trying to like fantasy or sci fi. Life is too short. Here then are the Top Ten Books so far in my 2017 reading. Well, 10 plus a few bonus titles. Math isn’t my strong suit.
Fiction

A few of those are on my Wishlist, including The Underground Railroad and Love & Gelato. Also, I want to read a Backman book, starting with A Man Called Ove. Great list!

Man Called Ove was great. The movie, though with subtitles is also very good–I forgot I was ‘reading’ it it was so fun.

I am planning to read the Underground Railroad and Swing Time soon. So I am eager to see if I would love them as well

Love & Gelato has been on my radar for a while now! I need to check it out. I’ve tried JoJo Meyers’ Me Before You before but I could never get into it – I think mostly because I knew the ending of the movie. I’ll have to give One Plus One a shot though.

All three of the ones you mention are great reads. It would be tough to read Me Before You knowing the end though. Thanks for your nice comments.

I was just talking to a rising 9th grader at work who wanted to know if I thought Love and Gelato would be acceptable for a school summer read. Although I hadn’t read it, I told her to go for it!

You are wise to abandon your attempts to like SFF if it doesn’t bring you joy – life’s too short and there are SO MANY books to get to – but it makes me a little sad. And want to find the perfect book rec that will change it all for you, lol but I won’t be that obnoxious.
Especially, since it looks like you’ve had a great reading year, no sff required. Underground Railroad is definitely on my TBR and I am just waiting to be in the mood for some heavy subject matter. Hopefully this year. I’d also like to read something by Zadie Smith some time – would Swing Time be a good place to start or is their another of her books that you like better?

Swing Time is a great start–you can jump in to Zadie Smith’s books with any of her titles. Each are a little different. Underground Railroad is not “heavy” reading–it’s incredibly well told, like a journey. Superb. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such great comments.
