++ This book put me over 10,000 pages.
* Outstanding books that I read this year. These are the books you think about after you finish them.

In The Mapmaker's War Ronlyn Domingue took chances in her narration style and they worked wonderfully in weaving a story.

In The Desert Spear and The Daylight War by Peter V. Brett the world is full of fantasy wonder at every turn and the characters seem to jump with life.

I Am Malala is the biography of Malala who was shot for standing up for girls education in Swat Valley Pakistan. Her story is gripping. 

Ancillary Justice is a very unique book even for science fiction. The main character is by far one of the most interesting characters I've read in a long time.

  1. Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne (3/17/2014)
  2. I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb (3/22/2014)
  3. A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah (4/15/2014) audiobook 
  4. Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride (6/14/2014)
  5. Clean by Alejandro Junger MD (7/5/2014)
  6. Clean Gut by Alejandro Junger MD (7/16/2014)
  7. The World is a Carpet by Anna Badkhen (7/31/2014)
  8. I Speak English by Ruth Johnson Colvin (10/21/2014)
