Top Reads: '14 & '15

2014 & 2015 get to share the spotlight.

2014 I read almost 90 books, not all of them counting towards my goal but that's beside the point.

Trying to pick just 4 out of the 90 was pretty rough.

But here they are:

1) Unbroken: A WWII Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand

2)  Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson

3) Unwind by Neal Shusterman (Just book #1, not the series)

4) Anything written by Leonard Sax or Malcolm Gladwell (they're educational so it counts as "one")

Honorable Mention:

The Lorien Legacies by Pittacus Lore

This year I've read 90+ books (the goal was 30,000 pages), so out of all those books, here are the top 5...

1) The Red Rising Trilogy by Pierce Brown (or at least the 2 that are published, lots of pressure on you Mr. Brown to make #3 bomdiggity come 2016!)

2) Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz (just the first book, not the series)

3) Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

4) Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach

5) Hounded by Kevin Hearne

Honorable Mention:

The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown
&
The Martian by Andy Weir (if it wasn't for the swearing it would've been a top read for sure).



2016 won't be as crazy with number of reads since I've already proved to myself that I can do it.
