If you’re looking for new reading material for the New Year, look no further. I’ve gathered a list of the best books I read in 2014, and there’s something for everyone in this comprehensive list. Check it out!
Criteria:
- I can’t have read it prior to January 1, 2014. That means no re-reads were included, even great ones.
- I had to have rated it a 9+ when I reviewed it.
Without further ado, the best books I read this year…
