Favorite Books of 2014

So, I've already talked about favorite books a lot for 2014, but I thought I should just share all the books that I added to my Goodreads Favorites shelf during the year. For books that I started and finished in 2014, I added 25 books to my favorites, and ended up reviewing some of them so I'll include those links too, along with the review of the first book in the series if I've done so in case you haven't started the series yet. Without further ado, here are the books I read and added to my Favorites!

Unhinged by A.G. Howard, sequel to Splintered

Here are some of the books I'm excited about and that I'm really looking forward to in 2015! In case you're curious how I find some upcoming books, I look at a lot of different Listopia lists on Goodreads that talk about upcoming YA releases in 2015, debuts, etc. and make my list from there. Also, a lot of other bloggers and vloggers talk about books they're excited to see as well so normally I'll hear about a lot of good books as well. Let me know about 2015 releases you're excited to read!
