52 in 52: the 2017 edition

I’m doing things a little bit differently this year, as I haven’t done my recap of last year just yet. Instead, I’ve spent hours working through doing a 2016 month-by-month recap. It’s the first day of January, and I’ll be a little gutted if I don’t get this out, so I’m posting this first and I’ll come back later to do my 52 list review for last year.

So without further delay:
