#its kind of a funny story
Happy new year, booknuts!
Last year’s bulks of offline commitments proved a lot of things, and one of them is this: they may turn me into an online Janey-Come-Lately by divorcing me from my laptop, but they could never really tear me off the books I wanted to read.
However, I must admit that the number of books I read in 2014 had dropped a few notches from the number of novels I flipped through in 2013 (needless to say, I failed to complete my GoodReads challenge). I’m just so glad that most of what I decided to pick turned out to be paperback jackpots, thanks to some of my bibliophile-friends’ recommendations.
Before I move on to new novels this year, I present here some of my favorite 2014 reads in no particular order:
- All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
- The Goldfinch* by Donna Tartt
- The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
- The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (reread)
- Invisible Monsters Remix by Chuck Palahniuk
- It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini
- A Separate Peace* by John Knowles
- A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby

Again, happy new year! I hope you find lots and lots of amazing novels this year, and I hope you get to spread the love by telling other people about them. :)
