Bookish Academy Awards 2014

The Bookish Academy Awards was originally a tag created by Kayla at BookaDooodles.

This post was inspired by Regan at PeruseProject.

To celebrate the film award season (particularly the Academy Awards), the film categories at these ceremonies have been adapted into their bookish form. Each of my selections come from books I read (but were not necessarily released) in the year 2014. I have tried to avoid using the same book twice.
