A Year of Books 2014


As you can see from above, I've been busy reading a lot this last year. My goal is 25 books for the year and I still have over a week to get in that last book. I'm fairly confident I can do it.

I'll admit that some of these books I flew through, read in a matter of days sometimes. Others took a little longer for various reasons. I definitely found a few more books to add to my "Top 10 Favorites" list, that's for sure.

Top 5 from this year:
Divergent
Insurgent
Allegiant
The Fault in Our Stars
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

Bottom 3 from this year:
The House on Mango Street
Dark Places
Vampire Academy

The above lists are in no particular order.

The first 5 were really quick reads. They pulled me in and kept my attention so I could read them in a matter of days, and in some cases just a day. The last 3 either took me longer to read, not because the books are longer, but because they failed to catch and keep my interest in the way I like books to do. In some cases, it took until nearly the end of the book for me to feel attached enough to the characters to care.

What are your best and worst books from this year? Any recommendations going into 2015?
