I don't know about all of you, but I've been padding up my holiday and library wishlists with interesting books from among the GoodReads Choice nominations. There are gems to be found outside of such lists though. What "others" have you enjoyed this year?

List up to 3 favorite books published in 2014 (all genres) that didn't make it to any of the rounds of the GoodReads Choice nomination lists.

My favorite "others" from 2014 so far have been:

Beautiful Wreck by Larissa Brown Beautiful Wreck by Larissa Brown (time travel romance)

Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement (award-winning contemporary Mexican literature)

Cheryl (cherylllr) I normally don't participate in the voting, but I loved the art & poetry of Hi, Koo! Hi, Koo! by Jon J. Muth by Jon J. Muth so much that I'm voting for it during each round.

Oops, that's four, sorry ;)"


I might just read My Real Children sooner rather than later. The cover looks familiar. I must have skimmed past it a few times without reading the synopsis ... which is right-up-my-alley intriguing.

It was quite good. Covers something like sixty years so is told more like a series of connected vignettes, but I loved the premise of the main character remembering two distinct but contradictory lives (neither of which exactly matches the world we know).

I still have December to contemplate best books of the year however right now if the year was ended the Coveted Temporal Jester Award a highly objective award rewarded after much contemplation...actually its just the best book that I personally like in a given calendar year...

The front runner right now for me is: Drum roll please...
