It's always hard to suggest a book you love. <br /><br />thecuecard - It's a great one!<br /><br />Sarah - That is too funny! Maybe there's one perfect Wilkie book for everyone and that's it. <br /><br />Lu - Happy New Year to you too! I can't wait to see what great books 2014 holds.

I read Attachments last year, so she couldn't be a favorite new author, but Eleanor & Park blew me away. <br /><br />Diane - She must be a really fast writer! I haven't even had a chance to read Fangirl yet. <br /><br />JoAnn - Thanks, I'm excited too!<br /><br />Kailana - I think I'm definitely going to re-read The Night Circus on audio in 2014. Everyone says it's really excellent that way. <br /><br />Carrie - I enjoyed The Beekeeper's Apprentice so much I suggested it for the mystery slot for my book club : )<br /><br />Andi - I do love a weird variety of books! <br /><br />Laura - I know! So many great books/authors in one year! I had such a hard time answering the questions because there were so many books that came to mind in each category (one favorite book of the year... hahahaha, yeah right). <br /><br />Selah - I was used to Montgomery's style with the Ann series, but The Blue Castle has a very different feel! <br /><br />Diane - Thanks! It was a great year for reading.

I reread The Night Circus by audio this year and it was really well done. Just saying. :) I don't think I would have wanted to read it the first time by audio, the time flips around too much, but since I remembered that was going to happen I didn't get lost.

I haven't...Man you had a STELLAR reading year! I haven't added up how many books I read but I doubt I got to a hundred. It was just one of those years. Our book club read Cold Sassy Tree (don't remember if it was last year or early this year) and it was really good. Lots of others mentioned here that I would totally agree with. I think the theme for this year for me was Rainbow Rowell. I adored all of her books (I read all three in the last quarter of the year), and need more.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
