I've read 61 books so far in 2017. Lord willing, I will complete two or three more given I have some vacation time later this month.
Goodreads sent me this

Five star reads for 2017- From Here to Eternity - gritty, peacetime look at the US Army in Hawaii prior to WW2
- The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics - interesting look into the sport of rowing, the young men who competed, and their drive to the Olympics
- The Pilgrim's Progress - allegorical look into the Christian walk of faith. First published in 1678, and never out-of-print!
- Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy - Biography documenting Bonhoeffer's unique role as a theologian and a spy
Favorite book published in 2017- Beneath a Scarlet Sky (four stars) - based on a true story, and optioned for a movie. This book tells the life of Pino Lella toward the end of WW2 from the Italian perspective.
