my year in books

a recap:
2010: i read 15 books
2011: i started my book challenge with the goal of reading 25 books; i read 38.
2012: year two of the challenge; i read 34 books.
2013: year three of the challenge. i read 34 books again.
2014: year four of the challenge; i'm down a smidge to 32 books.

2014 broken down:
12 books written by women
20 by men

(surprising to me…i wouldn't have expected this statistic to be that skewed.)

21 fiction books
11 nonfiction

(not surprising to me…nonfiction often feels like work and isn't good falling asleep reading, so i know that i gravitate towards fiction more frequently.)

my favorite books of 2014? unbroken (nonfiction) and all the light i cannot see (i debated whether i had enough distance from this one to say it was my favorite fiction book this year, since i read it at the end of december.  but people - i think it's safe to say it's the fiction winner).  read these books!

on to 2015!  a few books that i know i want to read this year: the book thief, the other wes moore, serena, the second outlander book, and seabiscuit.
