My Best Reads of 2014

According to my 2014 Goodreads Challenge, I read 237 books in 2014. At least half of these were romance titles and about 40 were picture books. I've gone through and selected my 5 star ratings from the year. Some weren't published in 2014, but that is when I read them so I counted them. I picked my favorite book of 2014 at the bottom.

Project Read All The Books: June Recap

Hello July…goodbye June! Summer Reading is almost over folks! We only do a 6 week program at my library, so we will wrap everything up on July 16^th. Only 2 more weeks…I can make it!

If you went to Vegas for ALA Annual Conference…I hate you. No…well just a little. While everyone was out in Las Vegas living it up, I went to Washington DC for a short visit. It was my first trip to the Library of Congress, which was beautiful. I have always been a huge fan of Thomas Jefferson so I felt extremely privileged to see his collection and the mark he left on America through books.

Now on to the books for June. According to my Goodreads I read 18 books in June. Only 7 of them were from the TBR bookcase though.

Count as of May: 120 TBR books

Read: 7

Added: 11

Current Total: 124

Here are the 7 books I read from my TBR bookcase: 

The Prince by Tiffany Reisz

Never Love a Highlander by Maya Banks

The Great Escape by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Delicious by Shayla Black

Rogue Stallion by Diana Palmer

Twin of Ice by Jude Deveraux

Circle of Deception by Carla Swafford

I really need to do better. If you are wondering where the 11 books came from I can explain that. I went to another local Romance Writers of American Chapter Luncheon – where ELOISA JAMES was speaking! She did an amazing job and I had a wonderful time. I ended up with 10 books from there. Also, my sister gave me an autographed copy of Hillary Clinton’s new memoir, Hard Choices.

Goal for July: 8 TBR books
