Okay, maybe I cheated a bit by including three books and counting them as one, but hey, I tend to think of series as one long book.

What are your favorite books of the year?

    The only one of these that I've read is The Fault in Our Stars, which made my favorites last year. A bunch are already on my wishlist, and Dear Committee Members and The Martian have just been added! :)

    So basically I need to read Maggie Stiefvater. 13 Reasons Why was a really powerful read for me. I'm the only person on the planet who didn't LOVE The Fault in Our Stars.

    TFIOS. YES. I read it in 2013 and I'm STILL recovering! I'm reading The Martian now and loving it so far. And Dear Committee Members is definitely on my TBR list! (It's totally fine to cheat. Ahem.)

    Stiefwater #FTW! I have to re-check Warrior Women out from the library. I got it on your recommendation previously but didn't have time to read it. Need to correct that!

    I read a book by Julie Schumacher many years ago, and I loved it. I will definitely pick up Dear Committee Members, especially since you recommend it so highly.

    Wasn't Pilgrims Wilderness just worth of banging your head against the wall? OMG! TFIOS was wonderful (on my list the year I read it...2 years ago?) and The Martian was on mine this year. I think it will be on quite a few lists.

    Counting three books as one seems FINE. Not cheating at all in my opinion. My list for this year would do exactly the same.

    I wish I could get into Green's novels. I know he's good but i just can't finish them.

    I totally agree with you re: the Raven Cycle, and I'm so glad Lolita made your list!

    I think counting a series as one book is totally legit :) I want to read Dear Committee Members a lot -- it sounds so funny.
