Summary of Books I Read in 2014

I read 27 books this year, slightly less than the 32 I read in 2013. Although there are 4 other books I started reading in 2014 but have yet to finish. In 2014 I completed the Aussie Author Challenge (see previous post for summary), but I also read a lot more non fiction books than I have in previous years (8 completed, 3 started but not quite finished), and I tend to take longer to read non fiction books than novels, so that probably contributed to reading less books overall this year.

My favourite books that I read in 2014 were:
FICTION:
"Jasper Jones" by Craig Silvey (10/10)
"Gifts of the Permangk" by Dean Mayes (10/10)
 "A Constellation of Vital Phenomena" by Anthony Marra (10/10)
 NON FICTION:
"The Undesirables" by Mark Isaacs (10/10)
"The Brain that Changes Itself" by Norman Doige (9.5/10)
"The Dirty Chef" by Matthew Evans (9/10)
"The 1000 Hour Day" by Chris Bray (9/10 *however I am probably biased as he is my brother*)
