Wit and Sin: Best Books of 2014
http://witandsin.blogspot.com/2014/12/best-books-of-2014.html
With 2015 fast approaching (Can you believe it?), it’s time to take a look back and pick out the best of the best. 2014 was a bit of an uneven year for me in terms of reading. I read 159 books, some of them fabulous…and some not so much. I rediscovered my love of contemporary romance, the subgenre that first hooked me on romance novels in general. I also tried 33 new (to me) authors, and found some new favorites (Jenn Bennett and Macy Beckett are among my new autobuy authors). And finally, I participated in my fifth A to Z Reading Challenge, a challenge I always enjoy.
I read a number of excellent books this year, but I did manage to narrow the list down so I could spotlight the best of the best that I read in 2014:
