2014 has been a hard year emotionally and looking back, not much change from 2013. I have got to look within and figure it out.
I initially wasn't going to do a Top Ten but when I looked, I haven't read many books and felt like I didn't complete many either BUT the ones I did, I loved or really enjoyed so of course I want to share with you. The blogging community is all about us sharing our love of books so I don't want to forget that.
Novel Adult - never did figure out this new genre - Psychological Thriller fans that do not mind a few good detailed sex scenes. Warning - there is an incest rape scene, please proceed with caution when reading this amazing book.

ReplyDeleteKathy, I can't figure out why my comment won't post on your blog. ???? I also loved This is Where I Leave You, I want to watch the movie.
DeleteSorry to hear you've had a tough year - I really enjoyed Little Mercies too, a book that hammers home how one mistake can alter your life - a sobering book. Happy New Year and I hope you find some great books to read in 2015.

Thanks for commenting Cleo, loved your list. Great to find another mystery lover, I added 3 to my Wishlist.
DeleteI haven't read any of those yet, but a bunch of them are on my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2015... hoping it's a better year for you!
Hey Steph, I wonder how 2015 will be for you reading as a new mom :-)
DeleteSorry you've had a tough year...mine was a bit grim too and the looking within continues. I like the look of your list...keep meaning to read Where'd You Go Bernadette 'cos everyone says it is great...but it seems odd to read a book with one's own name in the title. Perhaps I'll get an eBook version so it won't be so obvious :)
ReplyDeleteHope 2015 is a better year for you
Sorry for another rough year :( Glad though that you have quite a few good reads! I'd only tried Bernadette but it was DNF for me, I guess I just wasn't in the right mood for it... will have to check out the rest! Sorry I haven't visited for so long... as you could tell I'd neglected my own blog too... will try to do better this year!
ReplyDeleteSo many authors on this list that I have been wanting to try!!! I loved Into the Darkest Corner as well. In fact her newest book is on my most anticipated reads for 2015...I cannot wait for it to come out! I hope that you have an amazing year of reading this coming year!!!
