Total semuanya adalah 75 buku, menurun lagi dibanding tahun kemarin yang mencapai 80 buku. Tapi seiring tahun berlalu, saya memang sengaja memasang target yang jauh lebih sedikit karena kesibukan saya semakin banyak. Selain itu, kecepatan baca saya sudah tidak seperti dulu. Otaknya tambah telmi sepertinya. Haha... Makanya, saya cuma pasang 70 buku buat reading challenge tahun 2015 ini.

Kalau dilihat dari daftar di atas, tahun ini saya lebih banyak membaca contemporary romance, baik yang untuk remaja maupun dewasa. Saya juga lebih banyak membaca karya klasik dan fiksi umum yang ceritanya memang lebih dalam. Aneh juga. Padahal saya pikir akan sama seperti tahun lalu, banyak baca buku fantasi. Eh, ternyata ada perbedaan. Mungkin tahun depan juga bakal berbeda lagi.

Top 10 best books I read in 2014 (not in order):
1. And The Mountain Echoed by Khaled Hosseini (fiction)
2. The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict by Trenton Lee Stewart (children)
3. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo (children)
4. Prodigy by Marie Lu (young adult fantasy)
5. Champion by Marie Lu (young adult fantasy)
6. Graceling by Kristin Cashore (adult fantasy)
7. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (historical fiction)
8. Once And Always by Judith McNaught (historical romance)
9. 1000 Musim Mengejar Bintang by Charon (modern romance)
10. Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende (historical fiction)
