Favorites Books Read in 2014
I normally don’t post a Best Books of the Year list because I so rarely read books that come out during a particular year. I’m not much on reading whatever the big hyped book of the moment is (in fact, all the hype usually turns me against a book). This year I read dozens of books and out of them only a handful were released this year. But despite all of that I wanted to talk briefly about the books I loved reading this year…three of which were actually published in 2014…and also about the books that weren’t published this year but that I really loved reading. Favorite reads of the year that were published in 2014: All the Light We Cannot See -Anthony Doerr . So many trusted friends of mine loved this book so much that I caved in and picked it up, too. I was quickly swallowed up by the world of WWII era occupied France and came to care deeply for all of the characters, but especially the main two: Werner, a young German boy who gets swept up in the tide of Nazism
