With the year at an end, I wanted to take a moment to pay my respects and rave about some of my favorite books this past year, as well as some new (or just new to me) authors I discovered! You can check out more about the books mentioned in the list by clicking on the titles below (or the author graphics)! I will be highlighting my overall favorites books, my favorite covers, favorite characters, and favorite authors!

The Collector’s Society by Heather Lyons
Within These Walls by JL Berg
What If by AJ Pine
Seventh Wonder by Renae Kelleigh
Inspire by Cora Carmack
Where We Belong by KL Grayson
The Minaldi Legacy by Courtney Cole
The Singer (Irin Chronicles #2) by Elizabeth Hunter
Beauty and the Mustache by Penny Reid
Nowhere but Here by Renee Carlino
I am a cover lover! I love seeing new covers and finding that moment when you read the book and see why the author chose that particular cover to be the first impression you have of the book! I love originality and style and these five covers have a flair all their own! Here are a few of my favorites from 2014.
Lead (Stage Dive #3) by Kylie Scott
Beauty and the Mustache by Penny Reid
Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
Dearest Clementine (Dearest #1) by Lex Martin
Sublime by Christina Lauren
Sometimes you read a character and they stick with you. They inspire you and cause reflection. Others are characters that you want to be real life friends with and, let’s be honest, some are our book boyfriends for the days to come! I scoured through my reading list this past year and picked four different characters that I loved!
Tori from Fierce by Kelso
Talia from Off of the Map series by Lia Riley
Max from Reluctantly Royal by Nichole Chase
Cole from Echoes of Scotland Street by Samantha Young
This year has been a treasure trove of discovery when it comes to new authors on the block and new to me favorites that I cannot believe I never read before. There are so many that I want to list but I only chose two. So here they are: my two favorite authors of 2014!
