Books that made my 2014

It's been a great year for books overall, but when I think about the ones that have changed me or have had a huge impact on me this year I know exactly what I'm talking about.
- Fangirl, by Rainbow Rowell. This is probably my favourite book that I've read in 2014. After wanting to read it for a really long time, I was able to buy it and read it asap. I had never been as excited while reading a book, but everything was just so real! I could relate to everything that was going on, and I am just really proud of being a fangirl. I keep telling the rest of my family to read it, but I know you won't think of it as highly as I do if you aren't a teenager in the 21st century. I want my children to read it in the future and learn about the best things of being a teenager right now. It has nothing to do with all those novels who say they depict teenage life while mentioning alcohol and drugs; this shows what the Internet has done for our generation. It was just so wonderful that I want to keep reading it over and over again.

- City of Heavenly Fire, by Cassandra Clare (TMI #6). The ending book in a saga like this deserves to be recognized everywhere... I can't say I'm happy that I read it because the series which had accompanied my teenage years has ended, and that is very sad. But I really liked the book, even though the ending and some details could've been better. But, we all know Cassie and love her for that. So this is a must-read that I definitely want to read again (when I get over the series ending, that's it). And I'll be waiting for The Dark Artifices this next year 2015 with joy and anticipation.

- Allegiant, by Veronica Roth (Divergent #3). This was published at the end of 2013, but I wasn't able to read it until earlier 2014, so I'm just going to talk about it now. This book was the death of me. As the last book in a trilogy, the ending had to be great, but this one was sublime. I want to thank Veronica Roth so much for this. The death of the main character isn't something usual, and it was both one of the best endings and one of the worst (as a reader who suffers and suffers), so I'm glad it exists.
