I wanted to make a ‘Top’ list for the books I finished in 2014, though I wasn’t sure what the number would be. I started by just going back over my spreadsheet with all the books I’ve read and picked out all my very favorites, not including any books that were re-reads. I ended up with 14 and decided to just go with that! Here are my picks, arranged (loosely) by genre.
Fiction (literary…ish):
Mambo in Chinatown by Jean Kwok
Love Virtually by Daniel Glattauer
Fantasy:
The Golem and the Jinni by Helen Wecker
A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan
Crime:
Night Film by Marisha Pessl
Graphic Novel:
Saga (vols 1-3) by Brian K. Vaughan
Horror:
NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
Horns by Joe Hill
Young Adult:
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
Scifi:
