TOTAL: 98 BOOKS

WOW! What a great year 2014 has been. I have always loved reading, but this year has really helped me kick start my love of reading and fandoms again. Not only have I read an insane amount of books, but we started this blog and have taken are fandom to another level.

My favorite authors this year were Jennifer Armentrout, Michelle Hodkin, Rachel Hawkins, and Cassandra Clare. I also discovered a lot of up and coming authors such as Lindsay Cummings and Leah Raeder that have easily found their way on my favorite author list.

My favorite series this year was The Lux series by Jennifer Armentrout. The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare (though I am still slowly trucking my way through them!!), The Legend series by Marie Lu, The Selection series by Kiera Cass, and the Mara Dyer series by Michelle Hodkin follow closely behind.

I originally set my reading goal at the beginning of the year to 24 books.... I think it is safe to say I blew that goal out of the water. For 2015, I am going to set my goal to 100 books, but I think I will be able to bypass that as well. I really hope to reread some of my favorites this coming year (Divergent series and Hunger Games series to name a few), but I am also looking forward to starting new series and finding new favorites. I am currently in the middle of about three different series, so I am looking forward to seeing how they all end!

Thank you to all of our amazing readers for supporting us and allowing us to take this blog from just an idea to something awesome. Also, huge thank you and shout out to my co-blogger, Angela, for helping me rekindle my love of books and fandoms! Without you I would probably still be trying to finish the Shopaholic series (womp womp). I can't wait to see what 2015 holds for us!
