Not finished with it, but almost, so I'm adding The Storied Life of AJ Fikry to my Best list with gratitude to those who recommended it.

I'll add that to my list, too. I really enjoyed it.

I hope it's okay to bring this back up again now that it is Jan.

I read 72 book in 2014. I got out of the habit of posting in the monthly book thread about 6 months into the year, so there are many titles I read and loved that I never posted. There were also some major duds! In fact I got in a real slump in the last quarter with loser after loser that I couldn't finish or even get into.

Here is my list of books (in alphabetical order by author) that received at least 4 Stars from my reading record on LibraryThing for 2014.

Fay - Larry Brown

Tell the Wolves I'm Home - Carol Rifka Brunt

The House Girl - Tara Conklin

Whistling Past the Graveyard - Susan Crandall

Frog Music - Emma Donnaghue

North of Boston - Elizabeth Elo

The Tilted World - Tom Franklin

The Signature of All Things - Elizabeth Gilbert

North River - Pete Hamill

The Last Child - John Hart

The Painter - Peter Heller

Under the Wide and Starry Sky - Nancy Horan

...to be continued in next post...
