This year saw the second anniversary of Sammi Loves Books. However, it wasn’t really until the beginning of the year that I started posting regular book reviews. 2014 saw me read and review 63 books and short stories on Sammi Loves Books, which is a figure beyond my wildest expectations.
Looking back, one of the highlights had to be the ARC of Trudi Canavan’s latest offering, Thief’s Magic. I had also come across a number of authors whose work I hadn’t read before but thoroughly enjoyed. And then there was ‘Indie Only Month’, where I only read and reviewed independently published works, and ‘Historical Fiction Month’ that focused on one of my favourite genres. All-in-all, it was a good year full of good books.
The most popular reviews of the year were: (follow the links to read the reviews)
