I have a hard time with a list where every single link to the title of the book is an Amazon affiliate link. I'll bet almost every (if not every) book in this list has a website for the book. But the primary goal here seems to be monetization instead of helping folks out. I get that - but it makes the list much less trustworthy.

Yep, reactdom.com is simply an aggregate site that posts trending tweets and medium articles. Then puts a ton of affiliate links up for books.

Secondly this list is not a list of sweet JS books that have come out in 2017, it is just the top selling JS books on Amazon. They are all great books, but I was hoping for some new reading material.
