I’ve read SEVEN of the books on your list! I agree, trying to chop down your faves to only ten is nearly impossible. I’ve got a copy of THREE and want to read it soon:-) Great list!

Yeah, I also limited my list to 2014 releases. Seeing other lists, I’m wishing I hadn’t, but then, that would make my decisions harder!

My favorites of 2014 list is going up tomorrow, and I certainly didn’t narrow mine down. What’s awesome is that our Horror lists are practically identical! (I just have one more book)
Yep! Your one that’s different I read, but I didn’t care for the first in that series, sooo. 🙂 In general, very similar taste though

I have only read four on your list. Strange since we seem to overlap so often. Just shows that our favorites all came from different places I suppose.

Well, I have 4 horror books, a dystopian and then one science fiction that could possibly be classified as horror as well (and a horror that could also be classified as horror). Those are ones I wouldn’t expect you to go for, even though I know you read one of them. Still surprised there wasn’t a little more overlap though. 🙂

I just finally grabbed The Martian 🙂 oh and in seriously going to read Broken Monsters and Ancillary Justice and Red Rising soon. I decided to give myself much more room for personal books this year 🙂

I have read none of these. *weeps* Although I do have a copy of Half a King that I borrowed from my guy, so hopefully I will read it & love it in 2015!

None?!? Wow, that is surprising. But, it means you have some good stuff to read. 🙂

Hi btw 🙂
Hm, good list, I need to take a closer look at some of those (I take a lot of closer looks before I decide, lol)

I have not read nearly enough of these, but most are on my TBR list! They all sound so good
