Below is a list of my favourite reads of 2017. All but one are novels or story collections translated into English; the last one is a collection of short stories from the US. I did not plan on a top ten, it just worked out that way. I track my reading and favourites throughout the year so each year I could end up with zero or many more favourites. So, for 2018, try a few of the listed books.
