Top 14 Books Read in 2014 & Wrap-Up!

Today is Monday, January 5 and I realized I'm a little late with this post!  2014 has been a great reading year for me!  My senior year of high school helped me and encouraged me to read more & as a continuation from last year's reading success, I felt confident.  This year, my goal was to read 80 books.  Last year I read 86 books, so this was a goal I felt I could reach pretty easily.  Then college happened, and I only read 5 books within the span of 4 months.  It hurt me to not read as much as I wanted to.

When I got home for break, I needed to read 16 more books if I wanted to finish my goal.  Unfortunately, I was a book short.  But I finished that book the first day of 2015!  So it wasn't all bad.  Altogether I read 79 books in 2014.  Without further ado, I will reveal my top 14 books read in 2014!

14.  Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

MATT. FREAKING. FINCH.

13. City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

A little bit too long for my taste, yet an amazing ending to an amazing series.

12. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Heartbreakingly beautiful.  Definitely makes you think.

11.  Every Day by David Levithan

Another thinker, but in a different, strange & absolutely great way.

3.  The One by Kiera Cass

Maxon Schreave, once again.  My heart, once again.

2.  To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

Celaena Sardothien.  That's freaking what.
