Today I established that I currently have between 30-40 unread books waiting to be read at home, at work and on my kindle, along with a slightly larger number than that on my wishlist (…ahem…143…). I decided I should do a quick recap and list what I read in 2014. So here it is! My year in books…

To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee (I know, don’t judge, I’m not quite sure how I haven’t read this before either.)
Solitaire – Alice Oseman
The Signature of All Things – Elizabeth Gilbert
The Colour Master – Aimee Bender
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August – Claire North
Up a Tree in the Park at Night with a Hedgehog – Paul Robert Smith

(Half of these were re-reads as well)

Books I kept dipping into:

Phew! I read a fair bit really. If I read the same amount again I can easily get through my unread books this year…however…there is absolutely no guarantee that I won’t buy more in the meantime. After all, you can never have too many books!

What did you read last year?
