Books 2014: Final List

Sadly this is not my library. But it would be amazing, wouldn't it? :)

I thought as a final post of the year I would update my reading list from August's Books of 2014 post. At last count (in August), I had read 17 books. I have just started my 36th and, while I doubt I'll finish it before tomorrow night, I plan to count it on the 2014 list. I figure having 39 on the 2015 list is already more than sufficient! :)

So...what good books did you read this year? And/or what books do you plan to read next year?

* First editions of these two books were a birthday present from Maryann! Thanks again! :D
** I grabbed "Dying to Please" at a library sale. While it was pretty good, it was also sketchier than anticipated, so I can't recommend it. Just fyi. 
*** All three Tom Clancy stories in are in one giant ass book.
