Here are all my favorites from the YA/Middle-Grade categories that were published in 2017. Please note: I have not read all the 2017 books yet. For instance I haven't gotten to: Diviners Book 3, One Dark Throne, Magnus Chase book 3, The Book of Dust, and many others. I read a lot but even I only have so much time. So if you're wondering where certain titles are they either a) aren't actually a favorite of mine or b) I just haven't read them yet.
