Looking Back at 2014

Hello Everyone,

The end of the year always seems like it's about the "Top Ten" list.  While these can often be overdone, I decided it was still worthwhile to do for the books I have reviewed in 2014.  (These books have certainly not all been released in 2014.)  I have not sorted this by genre, but rather this are my overall picks that I felt blew my mind and I think about often.
