2014's Reading Report

My Year End Report is rather pitiful as I only managed to read 39 books this year, which is about one-third of my totals pre-Madison. Priorities, they do change. I will say though, that reading 100 less books a year sure does make stats quite easy. Still, I only have a few to report:

Male/Female Author: 13/26
Fiction/Nonfiction: 33/6
Series/Standalone: 20/13
New/Re-read: 23/10

I'm surprised by the male to female ratio, but the other stats are pretty normal. So, most boring year-end report, right? In an effort to make it a bit more interesting, here's some award winners from the year:

Classics Read: Lolita, Letters to a Young Poet, Heart of Darkness, The Turn of the Screw

Best Non-Fiction: Pilgrim's Wilderness

Most Surprising: The Martian I never liked audio but I adored this one.

Funniest: Dear Committee Members  

Best Series: The Raven Cycle: The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves, Blue Lily Lily Blue,

The One(s) That Will Stick with Me: Lolita and 13 Reasons Why 

The Books I'm spending all my time reading right now (and which have severely decreased my for-pleasure reading in December:

These two Lit Theory books, along with Heart of Darkness and Turn of the Screw, are my readings for an Introduction to Literary Theory grad class, and as such, they are what I'm spending my free time with.

As you can see, I didn't list a Best Book of the Year. I've never been able to decide on one favorite of anything, so I'm not even going to try. I would love, however, to hear everyone else's choices for best book read this year!
