The topic : Top New to Me Authors I Read in 2014. I read a lot of comfort authors this year, a lot of not new authors, which is different from a number of the last few years. This year was old reliable authors, with a few new ones thrown in. This list represents the ones I would read again.
George Saunders - The Tenth of December (short stories)
Chris Hadfield - Astronaut Extraordinaire
AS King - Reality Boy (really good YA story)
Graeme Simsion - The Rosie Project (cute, but I'm not sure I want to read the sequel)
Rhys Bowen - Her Royal Spyness mysteries (wonderful new to me series. Already read the second, and have the third on hand)
Jeanette Walls - The Glass Castle (already have the next book, Half-Broke Horses)
Claire Cameron - The Bear (5 year old narrator. Great book!)
BJ Novak - One More Thing (short stories, and even shorter stories)
ASA Harrison - The Silent Wife (audiobook, nice vibe, good narration)
Harriet Lane - Alys, Always (book club book, one of the books we've discussed the most. Interesting to look at motives, and reliability of narrator)
