Year in Review
Last year my reading was pretty eclectic, this year feels less so. When I look at the numbers I see that 1/3 of the books I read were Chick Lit and 1/4 of the books I read were Canadian. The rest is pretty eclectic but this year certainly did feel pretty chick lit heavy, mostly because I read only that genre during the summer and a big chunk of Christmas chick lit in November and December.

Challenges
As I mentioned in my blogging resolutions post, I’m going to be doing less challenges next year. Every year I fail at them. This year I tried less and I didn’t have a 100% success rate. Last year I vowed not to do read-alongs and I did well with that, so hopefully my challenges resolution will stick as well.Canadian Book Challenge - COMPLETED
Diversity on the Shelf - ALMOST COMPLETED (only 1 away)
Classics Club - SOME PROGRESS MADE
TBR Pile Challenge - NOWHERE NEAR COMPLETED
Best Books
Last week, I posted my top ten books of the year. You can find them here.Fiction
It feels like I didn’t read much non-fiction this year but this book is easy to pick as my favourite. I grew up a Montreal Expos fan and this is a love story for Expos fans. The entire history of the team, it is a great walk down memory lane. Perfect for any Expos fan or baseball lover.
That's all for me. How was your 2014?
2014 has NOT been a banner year for reading :( I think that whole wedding thing got in the way! ;) I'm looking forward to getting my read on in 2015.
ReplyDeleteYes, you were quite busy this year Claire so you're excused! You look like you're getting 2015 off to a great start!
