2014 has already come and gone and I have yet to share with you my favorite reads of the year. For those who don’t follow me on social media, the answer as to why is simple: I was dying of the plague. Okay, not really. I REALLY had the flu. And not just one. I had TWO different strands. So for my Christmas vacation, I spent 16 days in bed. Sleeping. Barely moving. Barely reading—which is the real tragedy. But now that we have enjoyed a full two weeks of 2015, let me share with you my favorite reads of 2014. First, I met my Goodreads goal of 115 books. As a matter of fact, I didn’t meet it—I spanked it. By year’s end I read 144 books (mostly YA and mysteries). I really like rounded up numbers, so I am bummed I didn’t reach 145, but hey, since I spanked my original goal, I will take it. Of those 144 boys, below I am sharing with you 15 of my favorite tween/YA reads in no particular order. Enjoy! ‘The Impossible Knife of Memory’ – Laurie Halse Anderson I did...

I am two days late with this week's pick, but I am pleased to bring Entwined back into the spotlight!
This retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses will captivate you. Before you know it, you to find yourself a part of its alluring plot.
I "read" this book via audio, and it was a fantastic reader. She kept me completely engaged with the plot, making me feel as if I was becoming a part of the entwine, finding Keeper especially tempting. For those who have read the Gemma Doyle series by Libba Bray and enjoyed it, you have to add this book to your list of reads, seriously.
With the combination of intriguing plot, fantastical setting, and twelve dancing sisters, this novel will cast a spell on you.
