A Few Of My Favorite 2014 Books

  I have a love/hate relationship with end of year posts like this because I read a lot. 

Like A LOT, A LOT.

A LOT.
 Asking me to narrow down the books I loved more than I love cupcakes is hard

REALLY HARD!
 
I'm bound to forget one. 
Then that book, those characters and their author will feel bad. 
And then I'll feel bad. 
 BUT, I love talking about books especially ones that resonated with me in one way or another. 

Here are some of the books that I read in 2014 that you should definitely check out. If you want to see all of the 230+ books I read this year, pop on over to my Goodreads page.

Notice I said "read" in 2014. Some are old, some current and some are yet to be published. I like to give you lots of options. Just like cupcake flavors.This one happens to be cookie dough.
