Favorite Books I've Read in 2014 (So Far)

So we're a little more than half way through the year and I have read 63 books, which means that I have quite a few favorites so far. (Warning: Many of these were written by Brandon Sanderson).

The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly
I actually wrote a whole review on this book so you can see me gush about it here. However if you don't want to read the review, let me summarize. I THINK THIS BOOK IS PERFECTION. It is so beautifully crafted it makes me want to cry. That is all.

The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

You can read my review for this book here. I read the entire Mistborn trilogy this year, yet this one remains to be my favorite. I felt that it could have been it's own stand alone novel and I would have been perfectly happy with that. The world building and magic system was just astounding, and it's what lead me to read so much more of Sanderson's works.

Cress by Marissa Meyer
I knew I loved the Lunar Chronicles, but I didn;t realize how much I loved the series until I read Cress. I was suspicious at first that Marissa Meyer wouldn't be able to write the three perspectives of our main cast and give each of them enough pages to do their story justice. I am so glad I was proven wrong. This book is a wonderful addition to the series, and so far my favorite. It creates a wonderful foundation for the conclusion, Winter. And definitely has a few tidbits that make us all excited for Fairest.

Fables by Bill Willingham

Oh my, this graphic novel series!! I am hooked! I only rated the first volume 4 stars, but holy moly it has improved so much. I have recently completed the eighth volume and I am in love with this series. It's like Once Upon a Time, but so much better!!

Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
Yes, another Sanderson. Trust me, there will be a few more in this list. This book was just wonderful, And honestly I loved it even more than the entire Mistborn trilogy (but I didn't love it as much as Elantris, more on that later). If you haven't picked up any Sanderson than I recommend you start with this one.

Watchmen by Alan Moore

Yo, it's fucking Watchmen, who doesn't love it? It's crafted in such a wonderful way, even if the plot isn't the greatest, the characters are so interesting and the way that the story flows is just brilliant.

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson
You can read my review here. Guys, I rated this 1,000,000 out of 5 stars. This book is my perfect book, need I say more?

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

I haven't even finished this book yet, and yet somehow, it is my favorite book I have read so far this year. This book is a masterpiece of both Fantasy and just general literature. The depth of it all, and the way it's crafted. I just have no words for how beautiful it is.
