2014 Book Review

Another year, another year of books. My goal again this year was to read 52 books. I read 34. whaa whaa. I mean, it's pretty good, but in 2013, I read 38 books. You might say, You had a baby in 2014!!! Who has time to read? News Flash Walter Cronkite, I had a baby right at the end of 2012 too... a baby who was actually supposed to be born in 2013. So for realz, I also had a baby in 2013. No excuses!! And no, no babies for me in 2015. Please girl.

I think last year when I posted my books, I wrote about each one and highlighted my favorites. This year I'm going to mix it up and use my Goodreads rating system using the star amount I gave each book. Last year my favorite book was Me Before You, by Jo Jo Moyes.
This year, I don't know that I had a stand out favorite, although I did enjoy quite a few books.

Thanks for sharing your faves! I feel like I am stuck in "so many books, so little time" right now, but you're an inspiration for finding time to read with three little guys on your hands.
