Note: These statistics reflect books that I read in 2014 (not books published in 2014 only). 

1. Book with the highest rating on Goodreads: Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas and Golden Son by Pierce Brown are both currently rated at 4.61 on Goodreads!
2. Book with the lowest rating on Goodreads: The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. by Adelle Waldman is rated 3.31, which surprises me since I thought it was a really solid and thought-provoking novel.
3. Book read furthest away from home (vacation reads?): I read Of Metal and Wishes by Sarah Fine in Mexico!
4. Book that took you the longest to read: Star Crossed by Elizabeth C. Bunce took me weeks to read.  I had the hardest time getting into that book.
5. Book that you personally connected with the most: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
6. Book that made you love the villain: Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo. DARKING ALL THE WAY BABY!
7. Book you said you’d come back to but still haven’t picked up again: Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison.
8. Book you read waaaay before it’s publication date: Well, not WAAAAY before, but I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Golden Son by Pierce Brown.  Which was awesome.
9. Book you read on your birthday: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin.
10. Book with a character who shares your name: None!
11. Book you weren’t entirely truthful about when rating (Fluff up any ratings? Rated even though you didn’t finish?): I work really hard to be honest in my ratings, so, happily, I don't have an answer to this question.
12. Book you read in 2014 but already want to re-read: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid!
13. Book you borrowed from a friend a long time ago and still have: I still have the Mistborn series sitting on my nightstand.  It arrived there over a year ago.  (SORRY.)
14. Book by a foreign author/originally published in another country: The Ruby Red Trilogy was originally written in German!
15. Book you which you could go back and read for the first time again: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell!  And The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson!  So deliciously fabulous, those books.
16. Most books read by one author this year: Sharon Shinn (3), Rainbow Rowell (3), and Kiera Cass (3)!

1. Happiest & saddest: Happiest = Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson; Saddest = The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin.  (Sad in a good way, though.)
2. Longest & shortest: Longest = Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas (565 pages); Shortest = The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey (206 pages)
3. Best & worst: Best = Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell; Worst = Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge
4. First & last reads of 2014: First = Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier; Last = Yes Please by Amy Poehler
5. First & last books on your bookcase (1st book on the top left and last book on the bottom right): First = The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne; Last = Problems and Materials on the Sale and Lease of Goods by Douglas J. Whaley (my husband's old law books enjoy the bottom left shelf.)
6. The most disappointing & the biggest pleasant surprise: Biggest Disappointment = Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison; Biggest Pleasant Surprise = Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas (I didn't really like Throne of Glass, and almost didn't continue the series.  But I decided to give it one more shot and WOW am I glad I did.)
7. Bandwagon/fandom you joined & one you abandoned: I read Throne of Glass last year, but didn't really jump onto the bandwagon until this year.  NOW, however, I am definitely on board.  I abandoned the Anna and the French Kiss series by Stephanie Perkins.  (Sorry not sorry.)
8. Most lenient & harshest ratings: I always try to be honest, so whether its lenient or harsh, I give books the rating I feel they deserve!
9. Most hyped & furthest under the radar that you read: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell had a LOT of hype around it, but happily I agreed with the hype.  Furthest under the radar book would maybe be The Unhappening of Genesis Lee by Shallee McArthur.  She's a local debut author, and I haven't talked to anyone out of state who has heard of her.  (YET!)

1. Book you read that is red: The Elite by Kiera Cass
2. Book you read that starts with M: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
3. Book you read that you may have hugged when you finished it: After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid
4. Book you read that you may have wanted to throw across a room: Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge
5. Book that has the letters Q, X, or Z in the title (bonus for one of the words in the title beginning with those!): None!  Yikes!
6. Book that suffered some damage this year (food? water? ripped pages/cover? Ouch!): None of my books, but my 2-year-old's books have certainly seen their share of wear and tear!
7. Food you craved while/after reading a certain book: I didn't love Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, but I won't deny that that book made me reeeeeeally want French food.  BADLY.
