Anyway, today I'm going to list my favorite things as far as film, television, books, and such go.
Honestly, this was much more difficult than I expected. I mean, it should be easy to pick my favorite book of 2014, right? No. Wrong. Terribly wrong. Frightfully wrong!
Well, I guess I should probably get started, right?
To start things off rather simply, my favorite Movie this Year was...

Yes, that's right. This film is all around gold. It's just my favorite. It's hilarious, it's heartfelt, it's the best Marvel production yet--in my opinion, of course. My family(usually my dad and brothers) always drag me along to movies that I don't particularly want to see, and I always end up falling completely in love with whatever they make me go see. This one, though, I believe I loved the most. We just watched it again last night (Per New Year's Eve tradition that involves watching a movie before the new year), and let me say, it was just as funny, just as awesome, just as everything as I remember!
Other Favorites Films from 2014: Interstellar, Big Hero 6, The Book Thief, Ivanhoe(1997)
Now, to dabble in Television. This past year marks a year of, well, awesomeness as far as TV shows go. I don't know if the mere fact that I had more time to watch TV is embarrassing or what...but who cares, really?
Moving on, my favorite TV show this year is (Not surprisingly):

If you saw this coming, I really don't blame you. If you know anything about me, you know I love Doctor Who. Seriously, it's a sickness. I mean, I could go on and on, but I'd prefer not to bore you.
Other Favorite TV shows: Gilmore Girls, Psych, Hotel Impossible, The Voice, Probably others I can't remember right now...
Okay, so here's the hardest one yet. Books are pretty much one of my all time favorite things ever in the history of all of time and space...and that's probably why choosing a favorite book of 2014 was incredibly difficult. I haven't actually read as many books this past year as I'd like to have-- which is what every bookworm says, let's be honest. Seriously, though, I'm just rambling now.
After many painful minutes of contemplation...I decided that a single favorite book was impossible...and that's why I chosen two!
First we have the not surprising:

If you've read any of my past posts, you'll see this as no shock. This book is a masterpiece. I mean, there are no words to describe it. It's beautiful, it's heartbreaking, it's just amazing. I can't wait to read it again, honestly.
My second favorite this year is one I haven't even blogged about yet:

Every Girl should seriously read this book. It's blunt, it's beautiful, it will change your life. (Special thanks to a close friend for giving me a copy)
Other favorite reads of 2014: The Ascendance Trilogy By Jennifer A. Nielsen, Meet the Austins by Madeleine L'Engle, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and many more.
Now for an easier category...music! This past year I listened to music a lot more than any previous years. I didn't really discover any new music exactly, though. I really just listened to what I've always listened to with a touch of this or that. All in all, I think my favorite artist that I never get tired of is the one and only Coldplay!

Colplay is another thing that I could go on and on about(and I have)...I just never get tired of their music.
Other Favorite musicians of 2014: Owl City, For King & Country, Relient K, One Direction (judge me if you must), James Blunt, etc, etc.
Last, but not least, I have my favorite web series. 2014 was the year I discovered web series'...because I'm obviously way behind everyone...because I'm me. I have many favorites (okay, like 5), but I think my favorite is probably this one

This one is (obviously) a modern take on Anne of Green Gables. I may be bias because I love Anne Shirley more than most, but if you want to check it out, here's a link to the first episode. They start off kind of low quality, but they do get better and I think the lack of camera and sound quality adds to the reality of the story.
Other favorites: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Emma Approved, In Ernest
Okay, folks, I think that's all. I really enjoyed 2014. Heck, I started this blog in 2014. It feels like age ago, honestly. It's weird to look back on the last year...it's always weird for me because I feel like I'm not remembering enough of the important things that happened. I'm not saying that I'm ungrateful, I'm just saying that it often feels like no matter how grateful I am, it never seems as if I am quite grateful enough. Am I even making sense at this point?
2014 has been great, but every year is a great year. Heck, every day is a great day. I feel like 2014 really was the span of 365 days where I have grown in spirit, in mind, and in self more than every other year before. I haven't even graduated high school yet, but here I am feeling more like an adult than any teenager should. I have ambition, I have spirit, I have beauty, I have art, and life, and breath, and so much possibility at my fingertips. I am unstoppable.
What are your favorites of 2014?
