Best Bits of 2014

These are my highlights of 2014.  They weren’t necessarily new this year; they were just new to me.

Best Book:  A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, Ill. by Jim Kay (see post earlier this year).

Best TV show: Outlander (Gorgeously shot on location in Scotland, it has everything I love in a story – history, time-slip, adventure, romance and the added bonus of Sam Heughen as Jamie Fraser.  Thank you Foxtel for switching channel numbers around in November so I could happily, inadvertently, stumble upon this.)

Best Movie: The Fault in Our Stars (This is one of those memorable movies that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.  Read what I thought of the book here.)

Best Song:  Unfortunately it was played to death on the radio, as good songs often are, but after complaining about a dearth of love songs, I have to pick Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.

Best wishes to one and all for a great year in 2015.
