I did not have a good year and the reading was not so much better. I do not have any five star reads and only a few four star reads. Very disappointing . . .
My favorite ones, in no order . . .
I love horror stories. This is the second in the parallell world trilogy by SL Grey (a South African duo). The Ward is not your typical horror and I really enjoyed it. The first book was sent in a shopping mall. This one is in a hospital and the third in the series (already waiting in my TBR pile) is set in a boarding school.
The Pride series is one of my all time favorites. Wolf with Benefits is book #8 and you are missing out if you have not met this clan. Start with the first book in the series and I promise you will not be disappointed. This is the perfect series for holiday reading.
This was a big surprise. I enjoyed The Night Circus although I cannot exactly pinpoint why. It was a very unique story and the narration just gave it that extra "oemphf".
I enjoy Mira Grant and Parasite was the beginning of another great series. I am looking forward to seeing where we go from here.
I started this book under the misconception that it would be a horror story - it is Stephen King after all. But no, Lisey's Story was something in a category all on its own. It has elements of horror and of fantasy . . . and of life . . .
I am looking forward to see your favourites, so I can add them to my reading list. I want 2014 to be more readable . . .
I really wanted to read The Night Circus. I started a few times but never really got into the story. Mabye I should read the book instead of the audio...
ReplyDeleteThe Night Circus, Parasite, and Cuckoo's Calling are all books I really want to read!! I love the cover of Parasite, it's super creative and simple. I am hoping 2014 is a better reading year for me too. I didn't find near as many good books this past year as I did in 2012 and it was a little disappointing. Plus I didn't read as many books as I wanted :( So hopefully we'll both find some good stuff this next year!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed The Night Circus, too...it was really different from what I normally read, but also really good. I still need to read Parasite, but I loved Feed by the same author. Interesting list!
