12 Incredibly Exciting Books That Will Rule 2014
Some of these are already available and you owe it to yourself to seek them out.
The start of the year is usually a slow month for movies, as such brilliant cinematic masterpieces like I, Frankenstein and Ride Along are currently attesting to. Book publications don't normally follow seasons, though, and so you're always likely to find a great read from a great author that's just hit the shelves. So many fresh names and new entries from established writers can be daunting - before you go stand agape at the New Arrival shelf at Waterstone's, take a look at some of the most anticipated reads of 2014. There are exciting new novels from masters like Joyce Carol Oates and Haruki Murakami and promising sophomore efforts from relative newcomers Teju Cole and Kaui Hart Hemmings. Short story collections, true-crime narratives, biographies and memoirs - 2014 promises to be an exciting year, even when the offerings at the cinema are a bit dull. Some of these entries have been published already, some won't hit shelves until later this year - but all of them should be on your radar. Enjoy, and be sure to sound off in the comments with additional suggestions!
