Instead of picking my own books for 2017 I will just read whatever you post and see if I can keep up. I have City on Fire on the shelf. Its size intimidates me but I know I will love to read it. I just put Just Mercy and Shelter on my list at the State Library. Your reading tastes are almost the exact same as mine. I am not sure when I will get to these but they all sound wonderful.
