Jason (jasondenness) | 1426 comments I don't read that many new books and if I do they tend to be by new authors and haven't been considered by the goodreads book awards. So I thought it would be fun to name a book for each of the categories, that you have read this year. It doesn't matter what year the book was released, you just need to have read it this year. (2014 for those without a calendar)

Here are the categories:

Fiction
Mystery/thriller
Historical Fiction
Fantasy
Romance
Science Fiction
Horror
Humour
Nonfiction
Memoir/autobiography
History/Biography
Business books
Food and cookbooks
Graphic Novels and comics
Poetry
Goodreads début author
Young adult fiction
Young adult fantasy
Middle grade and children
Picture books
