The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City Journal<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>is Francisco Goldman\u2019s (latest) gift to the world. It\u2019s at once a deeply felt love story, an elegy, political study and meditation on home. I savored the writer\u2019s vivid and poetic descriptions of place (from the «megacity’s stunning enormousness\u201d to the barrios)\u2014all locations teeming with life. \u2014Miriam Tuliao, Selection Team<\/em><\/p>\n

One of my favorite books this year was Lucy Knisley’s wonderful graphic travel memoir, An Age of License<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>It’s about a trip Knisley took to Europe and Scandinavia when she was in her late twenties, single, and figuring out what to do with her life («an age of license»).\u00a0 With lovely and evocative illustrations, it perfectly captures the fun of traveling as a young person, while also touching on the anxieties that come with being a twenty-something.\u00a0 I’m in my late thirties and definitely feeling a bit more encumbered by responsibility these days, so this was a breath of fresh air to read!\u00a0 It made me nostalgic for when I was foot loose and fancy free, but it also made me feel grateful to be past my tumultuous twenties. \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0I enjoyed traveling with Lucy! \u2014Susie Heimbach, Mulberry Street<\/em><\/p>\n

This One Summer<\/em><\/a> by Mariko Tamaki. This graphic novel is an evocative coming-of-age tale that perfectly captures the innocence of feeling small when experience reveals that the world is a much larger and darker place than the familiarity of summer suggests. Exceptional for its insight, but even more so for the artist’s masterful use of line work, panels and perspectives. This is the type of story that leaves you both wanting and changed. \u2014Daniel Norton, Mid-Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n

A Discovery of Witches<\/em><\/a>\u00a0 \u0430\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0430 \u00a0Deborah Harkness. Vampires, witches, time travel, romance\u2014what’s not to love? The best part is the rich historical detail that makes it oh so credible. Think Diana Gabaldon meets J. K. Rowling at\u00a0midnight\u00a0in the Bodleian Library. Or Nora Roberts channels Anne Rice. I’m already halfway through the second book in the trilogy,\u00a0Shadow of Night<\/em>. The third volume,\u00a0The Book of Life<\/em>, was published this year. \u2014Lois Moore, Mid-Manhattan\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The best book I’ve read this year has to be\u00a0A Memory of Light\u00a0<\/em><\/a>by Brandon Sanderson. It’s the culmination of Robert Jordan’s fantasy masterpiece,The\u00a0Wheel of Time<\/em>.\u00a0It was continued by Sanderson after the master’s death. Seeing so many character stories wrap up, others end in tragedy and saying goodbye to favorites you’ve followed over the course of fourteen epic novels was a bit wrenching. I’m not afraid to admit there were tears. \u2014Joshua Soule, Sputen Duyvil<\/em><\/p>\n

The book that stood out for me this year was Hyperbole and a Half<\/em><\/a> by Allie Brosh. Particularly memorable was the chapter about the time when she was a child and she really wanted to have a piece of cake, but was forbidden to have it. So here’s this kid who will do anything, and I mean ANYTHING, to get the cake, and predictably hilarity ensues.\u00a0 In part I can relate to her utter desperation for the cake, and then there’s the part where I appreciate her total honesty in pointing out her own flaws. It was smart, funny, and book that made the rest of us feel normal. \u2014Rabecca Hoffman, Kingsbridge<\/em><\/p>\n

I have two greats for this year, both a few decades old.\u00a0The most amazing fiction book I read this year is\u00a0Housekeeping<\/em><\/a> by Marilynne Robinson. Every sentence is vivid. I felt the leaves build up in the corners of my rooms and paint began to peel on my door frames.\u00a0In non-fiction,\u00a0Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee<\/em><\/a> by Dee Brown opened a door to another point of view on American history and I am a more conscientious person for it. It is also a great conversation starter, many people have strong feelings about reading this book. \u2014Jessica Cline, Mid-Manhattan Library<\/em><\/p>\n

The best book I read this year was The Golem and the Jinni<\/em><\/a> by Helene Wecker, whose writing transported me to 1899 New York City. Wecker does a wonderful job of mixing genres (fantasy, romance, mystery, historical fiction) in an epic story that documents the immigrant experience of the two unlikely title characters. It is hard enough being a stranger in a strange land\u2014imagine what it would be like for two fantastical mythical creatures trying to pass as human. \u2014Rosa Caballero-Li, AskNYPL<\/em><\/p>\n

I cannot choose one. I have to choose two. So I will be brief. The Paying Guests<\/em><\/a> by Sarah Waters satisfied every part of me as a reader. The setting is rich, the characters captivating, the writing inspiring, and the story! The book turns from fascinating\u00a0historical fiction to thriller. It\u2019s amazing! I have loved every Sarah Waters novel I have read. This one was heads above the others and that is saying a lot. I also loved Miranda July\u2019s The First Bad Man<\/em><\/a>. It was so funny and fresh. The narrator is socially spastic. She will make you cringe like Larry David. I haven\u2019t read a book that surprised me as much since Magnus Mills\u2019s Restraint of Beasts<\/em>.\u00a0 \u2014Lynn Lobash, Readers Services<\/em><\/p>\n

The Luck Uglies\u00a0<\/em><\/a>by Paul Durham. This fantasy adventure reminded me just how much fun it can be to plunge into a world of deliciously awful villains, mysterious rogues and fearsome monsters with a group of undaunted young protagonists.\u00a0 Can’t remember the last time I missed so many subway stops because I just didn’t want to stop reading! \u2014Stephanie Whelan, Seward Park<\/em><\/p>\n

The novel I enjoyed the most this year is Anthony Doerr’s\u00a0All the Light We Cannot See,<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>about a young girl and boy, on opposite sides of a war, inexorably closing in on each other as each must solve life-or-death puzzles lying beyond the realm of mere eyesight.\u00a0 It’s not just that characters are finely drawn, the path Doerr sets them on left me thinking for days afterward about the people I meet and the paths and puzzles that draw us together, for whatever reason, for however long. \u2014Christopher Platt, Sites and Services<\/em><\/p>\n

Although it wasn\u2019t the best book I read this year,\u00a0The Sweet Science & Other Writings<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by New Yorker staff writer A.J. Liebling was the book that I enjoyed reading the most (and that’s an important distinction).\u00a0 The collection is part of the estimable Library of America series and comprises five works, the best of which are \u201cThe Sweet Science\u201d (about the boxing world in the 1950s), \u201cThe Earl of Louisiana\u201d (a masterful analysis of Louisiana politics circa 1960), and \u201cThe Jollity Building\u201d (a composite profile of grifters, loan sharks, bookies and \u201cgrade z\u201d talent agents plying their trade in Midtown in the late 1930s).\u00a0\u00a0Liebling\u2019s deftness at turns-of-phrase, his inventive word choice\u2014two men injured in a duel were \u201cseriously discommoded\u201d and\u00a0a bar is a called a \u201cdispensatorium\u201d\u2014could there be a more perfect name for a hipster bar in Brooklyn?) as well as his wry humor and trenchant analysis make him\u2014for my money\u2014one of the best writers the New Yorker ever published.\u00a0 His \u201cJollity Building\u201d piece alone is worth picking up this collection.\u00a0 Imagine if Damon Runyon\u2019s \u201cGuys and Dolls\u201d stories were as well-written as they are entertaining.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0how good \u201cThe Jollity Building\u201d is!\u00a0 \u2014Wayne Roylance, Selection Team<\/em><\/p>\n

My favorite children’s book of the year was\u00a0Under the Egg<\/a><\/em> by Laura Marx Fitzgerald. If you want a fun, art history mystery for kids, this is it!\u00a0 The story is set in New York City and introduces readers an array of fascinating residents.\u00a0 Think art, science, WWII, celebrity kids, Monuments Men, gardening and super cool librarians all rolled in one. \u2014Louise Lareau, Children\u2019s Center 42nd Street<\/em><\/p>\n

This summer I finally read\u00a0Just Kids<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0Patti Smith’s eloquent memoir of her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe and their development as artists.\u00a0It was wonderful to see the New York City of the late 1960s and 1970s through her eyes. I wonder if any of our future poets are sleeping in city parks like she sometimes did when she first arrived in New York. \u2014Elizabeth Waters, Mid-Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n

My favorite YA book this year was Candace Fleming\u2019s\u00a0The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion, and the Fall of Imperial Russia<\/a><\/em>. Fleming interweaves excerpts from diary entries of peasants and shop girls with descriptions of the Romanovs’ lives of excess and grandeur. In a less skilled writer’s hands, this could easily have been a list of grievances against the Romanovs. Instead, Fleming humanizes the Romanov Family by highlighting their personality quirks and playful affection for one another. This is a suspenseful and juicy read (one of the princesses has a romantic encounter with her guard) that reveals the chilling circumstances surrounding the Romanovs’ deaths during a truly tumultuous period of Russian history. \u2014Mina Hong, Epiphany<\/em><\/p>\n

My best read of 2014 was The Riverman<\/a><\/em> by Aaron Starmer. That’s a book that wormed its way into the crevices of my brain, set up house, and will NOT be evicted for a very long time. I can feel tendrils of it affecting everything I do even now.\u00a0 \u2014Betsy Bird, Selection Team<\/em><\/p>\n
