Books Read in 2014

I am currently working on a 30 Before 30 List - of 30 things I want to do before I turn 30. I have several years still but some of them will take that long. One of the things on the list is to read 30,000 pages. I was going to list all the books on the original post until I realized that would probably be close to 100 books. So each year I'll just tally up the books and pages I've read during that year.

Some are good. Some were not. Some were life changing and some took months to finally finish. But no matter how poorly or wonderfully written they were, I was always able to learn something. If you want more specific reviews of each book you can you can also follow along on Goodreads.

So here are the books I've read so far in 2014. Total Page Count is: 7,982
