No other book this year has had me feel the absolute roller coaster of emotions that this book put me through. I laughed, I cried and I actually had to stop reading for about a week because I was so frustrated at some of the characters in this book. Sadie, Sam and Marx each embody traits that we all have and we may even know people in our lives that fit their traits to a T. Gabrielle Zevin tells a story so believable that we can put ourselves in the shoes and lives of these wonderfully human characters and live vicariously through them from beginning to end of this amazing story.

In the world we live in today, this book was the warm/loving/gay hug that I needed to get me through another day. It is filled with relatable and all too easy to love characters that you root for more and more with every page you read. It highlights the struggles that people who don't fit into the status quo deal with when society deems that they are “different” than everybody else, and that even though someone may seem different, once you get to know them they may just have a place in your heart after all. If you need a smile on your face and a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart, this is the book for you!

If you are a few bites deep into a steak or a burger, maybe save this book for another time.

If you think burgers made of beans are weird you are going to freak out when you find out what the new stuff is made of in this book (it’s totally people). Maybe read this around the new year to help you start that all new vegetarian diet you have been putting off!

Lets be honest here. Some of the ancient mythology stories are pretty weird and hard to read at the best of times. Neil Gaiman does a fantastic job of taking the stories told about the Norse pantheon from both the Prose and Poetic Edda and transcribes it into a format that can be easily read and understood by today's standards of storytelling. If you are looking for the Thor and Loki this isn't the book for you. If you want to hear a story about how Thor had to cross dress to get his hammer back then give this one a try!

With some of the most beautiful prose I ever read in my entire life, Patrick Rothfuss tells the story of an extraordinary man in every way waiting for the end to come. Kvothe is the kind of character that will endear himself to you on one page, just to infuriate you beyond measure on the next page. This book is told from the perspective of Kvothe telling his story one last time to set all of the tales spun about his over the top adventures straight. It will take him three days to tell his life's story and give the time and justice needed to the events that made him the figure he is and The Name of the Wind is the day he begins his story.

Gargantuan sand worms that produce a psychedelic substance (basically space shrooms) that enables humans to basically become as efficient as computers and lets them bend the fabric of space to traverse the galaxy. It also just so happens to be set in a feudal social hierarchy in freaking space. Frank Herbert’s Dune is rightfully considered to be one of the quintessential science fiction epics that keeps you hooked from page 1 to 688!
