I read a vast array of books this year. Most of them I really enjoyed. A few were meh. Here is my list:
- Little Bee Chris Cleave
- Maus I & II Art Spiegelman
- Mercy Jodi Picoult
- Eleanor & Park Rainbow Rowell
- The Martian Andy Weir
- Nectar in a Sieve Kamala Markandaya
- Cinder Marissa Meyer
- Scarlet Marissa Meyer
- Cress Marissa Meyer
- Everything I Never Told You Celeste Ng
- Six Characters in Search of an Author Luigi Pirandello
- Winter Marissa Meyer
- Home: a Memoir of My Early Years Julie Andrews
- Tell the Wolves I'm Home Carol Rifka Brunt
- Fairest Marissa Meyer
- The Art of Racing in the Rain Garth Stein (reread)
- Me Before You Jojo Moyes
- Everland Wendy Spinale
- Unbroken Laura Hillenbrand
- My Lady Jane Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows
- PS I Like You Kasie West
- Love in the Time of Cholera Gabriel García Márquez
- Fangirl Rainbow Rowell
- The CAP Equation, A Foolproof Formula for Success in Sales Jay Buzzello
A total of 24 novels and 1 book on sales. Many of them are young adult fiction, some tested my soul and some strengthened my love of reading beyond measure. I am not sure I can pick a favorite of the year, but I really enjoyed the Lunar Chronicles series and Tell the Wolves I'm Home.
Books bring me joy and center my life to be a bit more grounded. My reading subsided in the last few months with the hectic nature of a new career, but I am back and there will be more reading, because I love it.
