If I had to pick only one book to recommend, it would be The Leftovers by Tom Perotta. I was so invested in his characters and their lives I didn't want the story to end.
Happy New Year All and I'll be back on January 6th with our first First Impression of 2014 -
h
Almost a book a week - very impressive. Good for you, Marcy. And Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSame to you!
DeleteHave a good year in 2014 Marcy!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing your list. I've read a number of them too Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Natalie :)
DeleteWe had the same idea! I just posted my 2013 list, too. We have a lot of books in common, and some of yours that are not on my "read" list are on my TBR. Looks like you read a lot of YA; I do, too, since I have kids about that age and I happen to like the genre, mostly. I am looking forward to finishing Allegiant and starting the Maze Runner series.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2014!
I need to read Allegiant, too, but I read the Maze Runner series in 2012 (I think).
DeleteWOLF HALL, ALI AND NINO, GONE GIRL THE LEFTOVERS, are just some of them that are getting adaptations :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see how they turn out...
DeleteHappy Reading & Happy 2014.
ReplyDeleteSame to you :)
DeleteWow, quite the list. I'm kind of afraid to see what I read. I don't think I kept a list.
ReplyDeleteI did read a lot, which is good! Don't know if I'll be able to keep that pace this year - we'll see.
DeleteYou read a LOT! The Tom Perotta book sounds just like the Left Behind series of bestsellers Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins wrote in '98. You might like those, too. I've read so little this year. *blush* But I critted a lot of novels for people - does that count? lol
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
I read the first book in the series but wasn't very impressed by the writing - Tom Perotta's book is MUCH better, imo.
DeleteHappy New Year Lexa :)
HI, Marcy,
ReplyDeleteA very impressive reading list! I hope to read more this year. I really should!
HAPPY NEW YEAR and all the best for 2014!
Happy New Year to you, too, Michael - Here's to a fabulous 2014 for both of us :)
DeleteHappy New Year to you. You had a great year reading. My daughter was looking over my shoulder at your list and pointing out all the books she'd read too.
ReplyDeleteI did have a good year reading, best yet!
DeleteHappy New Year Marcy! Looking forward to another year of blogging friendship!!
ReplyDeleteme too Dannette :)
DeleteImpressive list, and thanks for the book recommendation! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, though some I recommend more than others...
DeleteHappy New Year! You have some great reads in there!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for 2014! That's a great list of books~ thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteSame to you, Jess :)
DeleteI should list out my books ... but it's easier to just point people to my GoodReads list. :P
ReplyDeleteWe read about the same amount of books - I think my count was 49.
I'm on Goodreads, too, but I sometimes to forget to update! 49 is a very good number!
DeleteOoh! I've read or plan to read so many of those. You must have excellent taste in books, girlie! I'm somewhere around the 100 mark, and it's amazing how much my reading has sped up this year. It's definitely an important skill to have when you live in this writerly world, eh? ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy 2014!
100!!! Holy Cow, that's almost 2 books a week! Now that's some serious reading :)
DeleteWell clearly I need to read more!! :) That's quite the impressive list.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteHappy New Year, Marcy. I enjoy seeing what others have read. You have some great books there. You have me beaten. I failed to reach my reading goal this year.
ReplyDeletewell, I was unemployed for the better part of 2013 so we'll see if I can read as many this year...lol.
DeleteThat's an impressive list! I look forward to your 2014 discoveries.
