Thanks to Goodreads, here is a list of all the books I read in 2014. I fell two books short of completing my 2014 Reading Challenge by reading 48 out of 50 books. There were a few books I abandoned this year, but I can’t count them as complete in good conscience.

As always, I read a mix of fiction of varying quality, trashy romance and a few memoirs. Here is the complete list:

The Bitch

by Jackie Collins

Supposedly the version I read was updated and completely rewritten in 2012. Outside of a few current celebrity references, I'm not sure how updated it was. Still, it was a fast, easy read and a typical Jackie Collins book.
