Oh my gosh – two TTT’s in a row! I was seriously slacking in the blogging department this week (I blame the holidays… and finals). On the bright side, at least my two lists are related. One of my favorite things to do at the end of the year is look back and figure out which books totally rocked my world. This year, these books were so good they kind of made my decision for me…
Top Ten Books I Read in 2014!
-
- Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead
-
- Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis
-
- Independent Study by Joelle Charbonneau
-
- The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
-
- Perfected by Kate Jarvik Birch
-
- Kushiel’s Scion by Jacqueline Carey
-
- Red Seas Under Read Skies by Scott Lynch

One of my resolutions for 2014 was to “read the best books first,” and based on the killer titles on this list, I’d say I definitely achieved my goal! Last year I chose a top adult and a top young adult novel, but these titles were all so amazing that I couldn’t bring myself to pick just one of each. Many of these books have become my favorites EVER within their respective genres. Yeah, they were that good!

Oh man!! They are amazing! Based on Grave Mercy on your list, I would definitely hand you Girl if Fire and Thorns and Kushiel’s Dart by Carey if you are okay with the more risqué. :)
