Its messy and incomprehensible but hey, thats me!
Here is an actual legible list of the books I read last year:

The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
The 3 Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
Curtain: Poirot's Last Case by Agatha Christie
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle
The Murders in the Rue Morgue & Other Tales by Edgar Allan Poe
The Edge Chronicles: Book 1 of the Twig Saga by Chris Riddell
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
The Sundial by Shirley Jackson
The Spanish Cape Mystery by Ellery Queen
The Berlin Novels by Christopher Isherwood
The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald
A Game of Thrones by George R.R Martin
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
(Apologies if I have made any spelling mistakes there).
I pretty much enjoyed all the books I read last year, some were more gripping than others but still all well worth a read! I'm not sure which I would say was my favourite though, there were some good-uns in there. So I'll do a top three (in no particular order)!
1. The Moonstone - Said to be one of the first sort of detective mystery novels to be written. I liked it as the narrative was told by a number of people throughout the book which made it quite varied.
2. And Then There Were None - Another mystery, but this time with murder! A short book, but oh so good. Just read it is all I can say.
3. The War of the Worlds - Sci-fi. Perhaps because I love the musical so much it was destiny for me to really like the book too!
Now on to new reading escapades for 2015!
Currently reading: A Room with a View by E. M. Forster (and dagnabbit, its good)!
