2014 Year in [Book] Review

---

I know I did the bookish survey by Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner but I wanted to make my own short Year in Review based on last years’ review.  I did pretty well this year because I read 119 books with 41 of those in audiobook format.  I have to say that listening to audiobooks really bumped up my reading stats.  However, I only reviewed 62 of the books and so I need to get more reviews in this year.  Historical romance is still my fave genre but I also see a rise in the YA category!

 

Top 3 Fave Books

1.  The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins – Young Adult Dystopian

2.  Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover by Sarah MacLean – Historical Romance

3. An Introduction to Pleasure by Jess Michaels – Erotic Historical Romance
