Top Ten 2014 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To

There are a lot of 2014 releases that I didn't get round to last year. I've been getting together my statistics for last year and if I've worked it correctly, just under a third of the books I read last year were published last year! Which means two thirds weren't... Here's a sample list of 2014 releases that I didn't read last year, kicking myself about not reading them last year and will read, soon hopefully. Especially Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy because I've heard so many good things. Maybe not Gods & Monsters because that's it, series over - same for Book of Life.

Book Haul #93

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews where we can share what new books we've picked up this past week be they bought, borrowed or downloaded. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

This could be a big one... I haven't done a book haul post for a month and as it's the festive season I've gone a bit mad both buying and requesting, never mind the enormous library haul(which I'm going to leave for next week)! At Christmas, for every book I buy someone I seem to be buying one for myself so that's working out quite well so far. I've bought myself a tote bag that I've been drooling over for a while and a special edition of The Miniaturist by Jessi Burton! Garden Spells is a re-buy, I want to read it again before I start First Frost but can't find my original copy.

Bought

Netgalley & Edelweiss

And last but not least...

Little Women tote bag!

Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2014

A lot of new-to-me authors were with first books so will feature in my list of debut authors I've read this year - one of my Christmas posts going up later this month. This is a mix of established and debut authors who are new to me, really struggled to do this as I seem to be more of a creature of habit than I realized!
