My 2014 Top Ten Favorite Books of the Year

December 31, 2014 by Darlene

FB Page
 

I’ll start off by saying it was extremely hard to pick my top ten favorites.  I got to 20, then 15, and then finally 10 and it broke my heart to cross any of them off my list.  Lol.   I read some really great books this past year and Goodreads tells me I read over 120 books (including audiobooks).  Sheesh, who would have thought I read quite that much.  Lol.  So here it is – my Top Ten (in no particular order):

 

evergreen

1.  Evergreen by Rebecca Rasmussen

hoofbeats

2.  The Language of Hoofbeats by Catherine Ryan Hyde

The-Pearl-The-Broke-Its-Shell

3.  The Pearl that Broke its Shell by Nadia Hashimi

day

4.  A Day of Fire by Stephanie Dray, Ben Kane, E. Knight, Sophie Perinot, Kate Quinn, and Vicky Alvear Shecter

wife

5.  The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress by Ariel Lawhon

wings

6.  The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd

virtue

7.  The Virtues of Oxygen by Susan Schoenberger

lost lake

8.  Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen

winter

9.  The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon

heartbeats

10.  The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Phillipp Sendker

 

Has anyone else read and loved these books?  Here’s to hoping that 2015 will be  another great year of reading a whole lot of wonderful books!

    You did great in 2014! I read more books than I thought I would too.

    I haven’t read any of your favorites, but several are on my TBR or wish list. Invention of Wings, Winter People, The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress, and The Pearl That Broke the Shell . . . So many books I want to read!

    The Winter People was on my top reads list for this 2014 as well! I just adored it and this author has become a must read for me! I’m adding some of these to my TBR list right now 🙂
