Welcome to another edition of Bookish Saturdays. I had originally planned to do this feature every week, but time got away from me.
Today I am going to share my Top Ten Favorite Reads of 2014.
It was surprisingly challenging to pick a top ten. Every month, I shared one or two favorites, and more often than not, I ended up choosing two, which means I had to cull the list further for my Top Ten.
Amazingly, this means that I found a plethora of books to love this year, so if you want to see ALL my favorites, click over to my Favorites page.
Click the links to see my reviews: (Listed by month in which I read them).

My Favorites List included some “old favorite” authors, like Sarah Jio, Diane Chamberlain, Heather Gudenkauf, Nicci Gerrard, and Liane Moriarty (a relatively new favorite); but some new “favorites” have shown up, so there will be more reading from them: Randy Susan Meyers, Brian Morton, Paula Daly, Matthew Thomas, and Emma Healey.
Did you read any of these? What were your favorites this year?

I haven’t read any of these! I guess that’s not surprising though since we seem to have very different tastes. Thanks of sharing your top ten!

Thanks for stopping by, Tracy, and I love when favorite lists don’t quite match…we can find new possibilities.

I am surprised that I only read 3 of your top ten, since I feel we have somewhat similar taste in reading. I will have to get busy tracking down or buying some more of those titles– every single one sounds like something I would enjoy. Happy New Year, Laurel.

Awesome list, I need to read the Silent Sisters. I broke mine down by genre Audio, YA, NA and Adult since I read/listened to 300 books. Big Little Lies got a nod in audio from me..loved it

Breaking the books down by genre is a great idea, Kimba. Thanks for sharing your list, and stopping by to see mine. I loved The Silent Sisters!
