Top 5 books I read in 2014 in the order that I read them. (I couldn't begin to rank them against each other!)
Leaving Everything Most Loved by Jacqueline Winspear*
The Martian by Andy Weir
Nightmares! by Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller
The Paper Magician by Charlie N Holmberg
Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson
Close runners-up:
The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley**
Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford

Leaving Everything Most Loved is the most recent book in the Maisie Dobbs series. I don't think it's a stand-alone read ... you really need to have read prior books in the series.

The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches is the most recent book in the Flavia de Luce series. It is *not* a stand-alone read. A lot of its appeal to me was because it tied up a long story arc.
