I post guest reviews at Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My!, and Stormi asked if I’d consider compiling a list of my top 10 favorite reads for 2014. Ten. Just 10. Who does she think I am, Superwoman?
She seriously thinks I’m able to cut down my faves to…10???
As I puzzled and swore, scratched my head and guzzled wine…none of which helped, I finally realized I had three lists: 10 raves, 10 urghs, the stories that most changed my thinking, and a partridge, er, I mean, a few series new to me.
