Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I Read in 2014

I read a lot of great books this year, and there's still a couple weeks left in the year to squeeze in some last minute books I wanted to get to. But here's ten of my favorite books I read this year, in no particular order.

1. Clockwork Princess, Cassandra Clare

I really enjoyed The Infernal Devices Trilogy by Clare, much more than I enjoyed the Mortal Instruments actually, but the third book in the trilogy is my favorite. I think it is the best conclusion to a series I have read in a long time. Reading the end of this book was the hardest I have cried while reading a book in a long time, but not because it was sad- there was just so much love and feelings going on- I just couldn't keep it in.

2. Throne of Glass, Sarah J. Maas (Books 1-3 and prequel)

I loved all of Maas's books that I read this year, and I'm eager to read more from her. I love the protagonist and the fast moving action.
Throne of Glass Review

3. A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf
I loved all the feminist sass that was going on in this essay. Woolf was very elegant but clear about communicating her thoughts on the woman artist.She is one author I hope to read more of very soon.
A Room of One's Own Review

4. The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood
This was by far the scariest book I read this year and the one that has stuck with me the most. Everyone should read this novel- and if you've already read it- read it again!
The Handmaid's Tale Review

5. Midwinterblood, Marcus Sedgwick 
This was perhaps my favorite YA book of the year, and I know I talk about it all the time, but I was really impressed and intrigued abut what this novel said and how it said it. I love how Sedgwick controls time in his novels, this on in particular, and the atmosphere of this novel was a little bit eerie but also irresistible.
Midwinterblood Review

6. Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte
I just finished this one earlier this month, but I really loved it. I wrote a rather long post about my thoughts on this novel, and I would love if you would check it out and share your thoughts on the novel with me.
Jane Eyre Review

7. Boy Meets Boy, David Levithan

I read my first three Levithan books this year, and enjoyed them all. (He made my TTT list of new to me authors) But this was my favorite book of his I read this year. I loved the characters and themes of this book, and it was laugh out loud funny.
Boy Meets Boy Review

8. Persuasion, Jane Austen

This was my second Austen novel, and I loved it. I really can't wait to read more from her. I also wrote a rather lengthy post that started out as a review for this book but turned into more of a 'Why I Love Jane Austen' post.
Persuasion Review
  

9. Winger, Andrew Smith

I read a couple of Smith's works this year and really love the powerful themes he takes on, and how amazing he is at writing young male narrators. He is definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.
Winger Review

10. Elanor and Park, Rainbow Rowell 
I read this one way back in January, but I remember it was impossible to put down. I loved Rowell's writing and the story. I haven't read anything else by Rowell yet, but I own two of her books so hopefully I will read more from her soon.
