Top "5" Novels & Graphic Novels of 2014 (so far)


I decided to do a different type of post today because we are over half way through the year (!) and I was watching Jillian at bookishandnerdy over on YouTube (she has a blog by the same name, HERE) and saw her video on her Favorite Books of 2014 so far and decided I wanted to do it too. I have read 59 books so far this year. My original Goodreads goal was 50 books but I have since bumped it up to 75. I’m thinking I will probably pass that too.  I decided to make a separate list for novels and graphic novels because I just don’t think you can compare the two. I cheated a little on both by including series but I did marathon read all of the series that I did list on here so I’m just counting them as one! There are definitely some that were very close runner ups. If you would like to see all of the books that I have read so far this year, check out my Goodreads Challenge HERE.

May/June Wrap-up | July TBR


{May Wrap-up}
So since I had been MIA for over a month, this means that I need to wrap-up both May and June! May was a good reading month because I participate in two read-a-thons and almost everything I read was a review book! I still need to write all of the reviews so as of right now the links will take you to Goodreads. Thankfully I started taking notes on all the books I read so writing the reviews shouldn't be to bad even after all this time.

Yea...I only read one book. #fail. The month of June was obviously not so good. I’ll explain in tomorrow’s post what’s been going on in my life recently.

{July TBR}
I need to get my butt in gear and read! Since I did such a bummer job in June, I have decided that I am going to read whatever sounds good at the moment and they probably aren’t going to be any review books. My rabbit chewed up our last charger for my tablet anyway so I can't read any of my review books that haven't been released yet unless I read them on my phone (which I hate doing).  So this is the book that I am currently reading.

Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong
