I hated the second half of 2014 with a passion so I'm more than welcoming, but! 2014 was definitely a fantastic reading year!
I've read 64 books in total, which is incredible considering how little time I actually had to read so I'm quite happy. And since it's my first serious reading year I've read some amazing, wonderful books and I can't wait to share my favorites with you!
I tried to put these in order but honestly the top 7 can change a lot so just so you know:
Let's roll.
#14
We Were Liars
Author: E. Lockhart
Genre : Contemporary
Date Released : May 13th 2014
Date Read : June 20th 2014
Rating : 5/5 Stars
Review Quote : "I'm scared. I'm terrified. But somehow, I can't regret any of it.."
I don't like talking about this book so we shall move on...
#13
City Of Glass
Genre : Urban Fantasy
Date Released : January 1st 2009
Date Read : June 9th 2014
Rating : 5/5 Stars
Review Quote : "JUST I AM SO EMOTIONALLY CONFUSED RIGHT NOW"
My Least favorite book of 2014 was City of bones, I hated that book with a burning passion but the ending was sort of intriguing so I decided I should torture myself more. City of Ashes was ok, still annoying but a hundred times better than the first one. Then, this beauty happened.
This book was epic. It didn't focus on Clary which trust me, I LOVED. And the whole thing was really entertaining and enjoyable.
I truly wish the series ended there because I'm not too enthusiastic to pick up the next books in the series.

Date Read : November 26th 2014
Rating : 5/5 Stars
Review Quote : "HOLY SHIT I HAVE NEVER SHIPPED TWO PEOPLE SO HARD BEFORE"
Man, this book was a bucket of surprises. First of all, I couldn't see the romance working at all. I actually thought she might change the love interest in future books, but NO. This was a beautifully written book with slow burn romance and complex politics.

Ruin & Rising
Author: Leigh Bardugo
Genre : High Fantasy
Date Released : June 17th 2014
Date Read : August 3rd 2014
Rating : 5/5 Stars
Review Quote : "I loved the developed relationships between all the characters in this book, all of them were very dear to me, very close to my heart. I cried so many times and I'm crying at this very moment because an amazing trilogy just ended, also the ending of the actual book (not the After section) killed me and just sliced my heart into two pieces."
Talking about this book hurts me. This book put me into a two month reading slump...

WAIT. There's an another #1 !!

With favorites here I meant the whole series. The Divergent trilogy is my favorite trilogy so far because it's so dear to my heart and I have an emotional attachment to the whole series and that's why it's on #1.
THAT IS IT.
That actually took forever.
Let's all hope for a great year in 2015!!
