Everyone keeps raving about We Were Liars and I was really confused by the first few chapters so I dismissed it but after seeing this, I'm going definitely attempt it again. Spark is also another book on my shelf I haven't touched, so I'm interested to finally pick it up after hearing that you loved it. <br /><br />I'm also really glad you mentioned the Slated series because that's one I loved so I'm really glad it ended well. Falling Into Place, A Thousand Pieces of You, Disruption and All The Bright Places are also books I need to read. I hope 2015 is just as if not better for you reading wise!

It...Ohhhh, All The Bright Places was incredible! It's been THE book of 2014 for me, even being a 2015 release. Year of The Rat was so emotional, I read and loved The Intern as well. I think there's a bit of Josie in all of us. Spark goes without saying, I don't know how we'll cope until Stray.

I'm also going to tackle We Were Liars since I love books with good twists! When that book came out, everyone just got crazy since it was crazy good so I'll def. read it asap. :D Yessss to Every Day by David Levithan! I read it this year too and it was sooo different from all the contemporary books I've read. It was amazing yet sad! If that happened in real life, that would be just crazy :O I can't imagine living like that. I've seen Searching for Sky twice now on this kind of post so I'll check it out on Goodreads.

I can't...Aw, thank you for the mention! <3 <br /><br />I can't believe I still have not read Fangirl. I think I must be the only person on the planet who has yet to read it! (Can I blame my massive TBR pile? Yes, yes I can.) You know, I've never been to Kinokuniya either. I've spent a little bit of time in Dymocks in the city, but never that store. Clearly, I need to rectify this ASAP. ;) Searching for Sky was fantastic! I don't think I expected to love that read as much as I did, and I certainty wasn't expecting it to be as emotional as it was. All in all though it looks like you've had a fantastic reading year! I've really loved your blog so far, and can't wait to see more of it in 2015. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-17729932623792377192014-12-29T12:43:08.031+11:002014-12-29T12:43:08.031+11:00Aw Rachael you're so sweet!
