End of Year Book Survey 2014


Den här enkäten har jag sett både här och där, och den är gjord av Jamie från bloggen The Perpetual Page-Turner. Eftersom jag älskar lisor och årssammanfattningar av alla slag så tänkte jag att den här kan vara kul att göra, dock hoppar jag över själva blogging delen..


Number Of Books You Read: 248
Number of Re-Reads: 59

1. Best Book You Read In 2014?
Heir of Fire av Sarah J. Maas, med Killer Frost av Jennifer Estep på en mycket stark
andraplats.

The Winner's Curse av Marie Rutkoski, Lark Rising av Sandra Waugh, Panic av Lauren Oliver,

In a good way; Vicious av V.E. Schwab som jag absolut älskade och har läst 2 ggr på 2 månader.
In a bad way; Mortal Danger av Ann Aguirre eftersom jag inte kan förstå hur någon som skapade den makalösa Razorland trilogin kunde skriva en sådan dålig bok.

Jag har inte läst någon 2015 release än. Eller jo, förresten..Uppstigandet (Dove Arising) av Karen Bao släpptes ju på svenska 2014, men kommer inte på engelska förrän 2015 så jag säger den. 
En riktigt bra bok dessutom.

  1. I didn't like Panic all that much either, rather disappointing too since it was my first Lauren Oliver (expected more). Shame you didn't like The Winner's Curse as much though, loved that one! You (and a few others) are what got me to read Throne of Glass so that "push" worked. ;) Agreed Celaena Sardothien is definitely the most memorable character. Loved how Cruel Beauty was written, and considering it was confusing, just shows how the writing makes all the difference. :)

    The Ruby Circle, whooooooooo! As soon as it's out I'm (most likely) going to binge read the whole series. :D

    1. Panic was definitely a disappointing read, especially since I absolutely adore Delirium, and consider Oliver to be one of my favorite authors. I just hope that Vanishing Girls are better.. I would've liked The Winner's Curse better if it wasn't for the fact that I hated Arin. I don't know why, especially since I would've behaved exactly like him if I was in that situation, but there was just something about him that made me want to slap him silly. I still don't know if I'll read the sequel, and that's just sad.. Oh, yay! I'm so happy that you liked Throne of Glass though, it's just such an amazing series. :)

      And I'm super impressed that you made it this far without reading the Bloodlines series. I just love it (and Adrian), and you have so much awesomeness ahead of you. I really hope you'll enjoy it. ;)
