My Books of 2014

I'm a slow reader.  Always have been.  I also don't get much time to sit & read during the day so my only time to read is when I go to bed.  So it's not a lot in a year.  But all the same, I am quite pleased with my little list for the books I did manage this year.  Some good & some OK.  I don't think there were any really bad ones.  If there were I think I would have stopped reading.

• I Remember You - Harriet Evans
• That Liverpool Girl - Ruth Hamilton
• Perfect Match - Sinead Moriarty
• Letters From Skye - Jessica Brockmole
• The Rose Petal Beach - Dorothy Koomson
• Cupcakes at Carrington's - Alexandra Brown
• Hope Was Here - Joan Bauer
• The Book Thief - Markus Zusak
• Brown Owl's Guide to Life - Kate Harrison
• The Bookstore - Deborah Meyler
• The Ice Cream Girls - Dorothy Koomson
• The World Beneath - Cate Kennedy
• Love Walked In - Marisa de los Santos

My favourite for the year was definitely The Icecream Girls by Dorothy Koomson.  Although not an easy read because of the subject matter, it was gripping & painful to read in parts.  I have read most of her books & this is one of the best.

I have such a stack lined up for 2015 so it will be interesting to see what I actually manage & what suits my moods & tastes at the time!  I am slowly getting through the stack on the book shelf.  I then take them to the second hand book shop or the op shops.  No shortage of new books coming my way though that's for sure.
