Book List 2015
Because sometimes you have an emergency appendectomy and get a chance to sit still for five minutes and read! I'm amazed I started this book list before April.
2015 Book List
New Reads:
1) The Darkest Part of the Forest - Holly Black
2) Blowing My Cover: My Life as a CIA Spy - Lindsay Moran
3) Firefight - Brandon Sanderson
4) The Last Lecture - Randy Pausch
5) The Immortal Heights - Sherry Thomas
Reread:
Summers at Castle Auburn - Sharon Shinn
Troubled Waters - Sharon Shinn
The Magicians - Lev Grossman
I probably should't be surprised at how little I read in 2014, with intern year and a baby, but I am. I tend to read every night for at least 1-2 hours, but I suppose the bulk of that reading has been on the internet, which I don't really catalogue.
Anyway, I am *so* behind the times anymore, but here are my favorites from 2014:
The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves, and Blue Lily, Lily Blue - Maggie Stiefvater.
I realize I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but these were dazzling, inventive, delightful; I love all the characters and the mystery and the magic and I am beside myself waiting for the next book. Seriously, you have to check these out.
The Perilous Sea - Sherry Thomas.
This is book #2 - read The Burning Sky first. Also incredibly imaginative, with magic and love and danger and girls disguised as boys who are awesome at it (my favorite trope ever).
Seraphina - Rachel Hartman
The book about dragons that I like in spite of not liking books about dragons. And I've just realized, while writing this, that the sequel is out. Did that happen while I was at the hospital? I'm'a go read it.
For my reference, lists from 2007 (59), 2008 (67), 2009 (67), 2010 (40), 2011 (34), 2012 (48), 2013 (43), and 2014 (32).
