My Not-Best List

It’s been a particularly busy year for me – I bought a house in April, adopted a dog in August and in addition to working full-time, being an 2014 Emerging Leader for ALA and working with other committees as well.  That being said, I didn’t get the chance to read as much as I did last year.  So rather than doing a “best” list, since I didn’t get the chance to read as many books as I wanted to, I’m going to make the “My Favorites of the Year” List instead.  These may not be the best books written during 2014, but they were some of my favorites to read.
