Ten On Tuesday

December 30, 2014 By Carole

I love end of the year type posts – you know the ones, right? Best movies of the year, biggest news stories, blah blah blah. The thing I do the most of – other than knitting – is reading and that’s why today’s Ten On Tuesday topic is 10 Best Books I Read in 2014. I’m sharing links to these in Goodreads but I’m not writing reviews here as I’m afraid of giving stuff away. Just know that if it’s listed here then I really recommend it.

    Fun topic, Carole! I’m sure we’ll all be adding to our reading “queue” all day! (Haven’t seen a list yet today that didn’t include “All the Light We Cannot See” . . . such a great book.)

    Hmmm – 10 favorite books from 2014? That would have required me to actually read 10 books, and I don’t think I even did that! But now I have some good one to pick from. Thanks for the suggestions and hopefully I will make some time to read in 2015!

    2014 was my best reading year in a long time (maybe ever) and it was great to revisit my favorites – and to get more recommendations for next year! I’ve got All the Light We Cannot See on my list (and I agree that Goldfinch, Room and Me Before You were excellent reads!)

    I’ve been reading mysteries et in exotic places. In particular, I’ve read Jason Goodwin’s series featuring a eunich detective in 19th century Istanbul, and I loved Taquin Hall’s Punjabi detective series, beginning with The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken: A Vish Puri Mystery. In the nonfiction department, I’m reading On Looking: Eleven Walks With Expert Eyes, by Alexandra Horowitz. Does your library carry these books?

    We have a couple of the same books on our lists. A couple of yours made my list from 2013, too!

    I linked to GoodReads for the same reason yo u did.

    I’ve read a few of the ones on your list. The most recent books that I gave 5 stars to are Unbroken and Defending Jacob.

    Good books, I’ve been obsessed with end of year book lists, which means my TBR list is growing and growing!

This loaf took about 24 hours from start to finish, it was sluggish at first so I waited patiently and adjusted my timeline. It rested in the banneton on the kitchen windowsill overnight and I baked it when I got up this morning. Oven spring was impressive, it’s got a good ear and a nice open crumb. It tastes good, too! #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #lookatthatear #nicecrumb #ovenspring #homemadeisbest #breadforbreakfast #morningbaking #the100dayproject #100daysofiphonephotos
