A Book Look Back at 2014

Wow. I can't believe another year has come and gone. New Year's is a great time to look back at the year behind us and to reflect. So, as this is primarily a book blog, I thought I'd take a look back at my favorite books from 2014. Some of these may have been released in prior years, but all are books I read in 2014. You'll notice a lot of authors more than once, but that's because they are simply that amazing.

In no particular order, here they are. My top 12 (because narrowing it down to 10 was impossible). 

What were your favorite books of 2014?
