FAVORITE BOOKS I READ IN 2014
Since it's now time for Beach Reads, below is a list of the best books I read in 2014. There's a good mix of short stories, fiction and historical fiction, which is what I really want to read in the summer. They're listed in alphabetical order, by author.
Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant by Chaz Rost (graphic
Dare Me by Megan Abbott
The Fever by Megan Abbott (modern-day Salem witch trials)
Burial Rites by Hannah Kent (historical fiction, Iceland)

Bark by Lorrie Moore (shorts)
Valentines by Olaf Olafsson (shorts)
Euphoria by Lily King (based on Margaret Mead) (so good)
