Best Books of 2014!




This year has definitely been the year for me to enjoy Personal Development!

My Fave PD read of the year---



I loved this book and I will honest prior to reading this I had no idea who Sophia Amoruso was nor her business Nasty Gal. It appears sometimes I truly do live in my own world. There are very few books that I can honestly say that I will read more then once and this book is one of them! I loved the inspiration that Sophia shows in how we all just need to find our niche and then GO FOR IT with a whole bunch of tenacity! Highly, highly recommend this read! 

My Fave read of the year---



I originally picked this book up at the library and fell in love. I actually took a moment when returning it to the library as I wasn’t ready to let it go. Needless to say this book is currently on order to become a permanent member of my personal library! LOVED this book! 


Remainder of my top reads of the 2014---





10% Happier was  recommended to me by one of Yoga Students




 The Potato Peel Pie Society was a family affair! My Mom, Grandmother and Aunt all read this book so I had to be apart of the club and loved it!


Everyone needs a little humor in their reading material! 




 When I was a teenager I  read a lot about the holocaust and this book introduced to me events I had never heard or read about.   Double Bonus! When I tweeted about reading this book I received a tweet back by none other then Daniel Kalla himself. Sidenote: When Daniel Kalla is not writing a book he can be found working his other profession as an ER Physician right next door in our lovely city of Vancouver, BC

Top 10 Books of 2013!



My personal pick for the Top 10 Books that I read in 2013! 

First off let me start by saying "Wow! Was this ever hard to do!" You think it would be easy but no way! With the help of GoodReads I was reminded of some of the fabulous reads that I had read earlier this year. Even at this very moment this still feels like a daunting task and I am now waiting for the moment of "How did I forget that one?" Anyway here they are in no particular order......





Because I was unable to actually narrow it down to Ten Books I decided to be sneaky and create a new author section. Sarah Jio I just found this last year and I love her books. Blackberry Winter was my first and my favourite. FYI! If you post a comment on her books on GoodReads she responds... so wickedly awesome! I love Philippa Gregory and especially any book that involves the River family. I must check out my family tree and see if some how I am related to them! 


Yes I am being sneaky again..... self help just can't go in a Top 10 List so I decided that they get their own category as well. After all this is my blog and I get to make my own rules.... for the love of books give me a break! 





If you have read any of these books I would love to hear your thoughts minus spoiler alerts! If this list prompts you to pick one of these books up, please let me know. If you are a book lover which most likely you are if you got this far down the page then come on over to www.facebook.com/noveltease and give us a like!
